Nice but annoying UI

The app is helpful but the fact that it pops up a dialog complaining that you don’t have notifications enabled every. single. time you open it is so irritating. I don’t want notifications

Great App, but…

I love this app, and am a long-time user. I still use it all the time. I can search for movies just by describing them with the AI powered search tool. I track all the movies and tv shows I want to watch, and list them in different categories. The one feature that would make the app so much more useful would be if data could be synced across different IOS devices logged into the same Kernel account! It’s very frustrating that I have different sets of lists saved on my iPhone and iPad….

This app sucks

You have to buy stuff to watch the movies

Gorgeous, minimalist design

Gorgeous, minimalist design. However, this app is missing a key feature: the ability to rate the movies and series that you watch!

Hasn’t been updated in more than 9 months. Give us Liquid Glass and regularly updates.

If you charge a subscription, regular updates and support of new iOS design language is mandatory.

Removed 4 stars due to app being abandoned after being hyped by YouTube multi-millionaire.

Hasn’t been updated in 9 months.

Title is self explanatory, I’m sure that’s why I’m having the very specific issue I’m having it’s just unfortunate because I liked this app at first when I added 2 movies to a playlist, then I added 2 more, the last 2 never showed up on my watch, only on my phone app. The watch app is the whole reason I got this app. I’ve tried everything from deleting the playlist and making new playlist but nothing works, hope developer stops neglecting this app for apple watch ASAP.
