## What is Movi ranker?

Movi is built for people who want an easier way to rank every movie they watch.

Instead of trying to remember where a new movie belongs on a long list, Movi helps you compare movies one at a time and build a ranking that actually reflects your taste. Over time, you end up with a clear personal list of the movies you have watched, ordered from your favorites down.

Search for movies, add them to your rankings, write quick reviews, and keep refining your list as you watch more. Once you have built up your rankings, Movi can also help you discover recommendations based on the movies you already love.

You can follow friends, browse their rankings, and compare taste with people you trust.

This is app is great! I would totally “do it again”

### 5/5 — Movi Ranker Review

*2026-06-08*

I downloaded Movi Ranker expecting a simple movie ranking app. Three hours later I was in a heated internal debate over whether Shrek 2 deserved to be above The Dark Knight. My family thought I was preparing a legal defense.

The app is somehow only 1.5 MB, which means it is approximately the same size as a single modern app’s loading screen. I don’t know what kind of wizardry Jonah Benjamin used here. Every other app on my phone is 400 MB and somehow still needs to “optimize content” every time I open it.

Pros:

* Lets you rank movies.
* Doesn’t explode.
* Loads faster than Charlie Kirk gets kirked
* Developer appears to be actively updating it.
* Makes you realize you’ve watched way more movies than you thought.

Cons:

* May cause friendships to end over movie opinions.
* I spent 20 minutes deciding whether a movie belonged at #47 or #48.
* No feature that automatically places Morbius wherever it belongs.
* Ranking movies reveals uncomfortable truths about your taste.

Overall, Movi Ranker is the kind of app that starts as “I’ll rank a few movies” and ends with you standing in your kitchen at 2 AM muttering, “No, but if Interstellar is above Whiplash, then Whiplash has to be above The Prestige.”

Final Verdict: 8.4/10. Clean, lightweight, surprisingly addictive. Made me want to jptk. Would rank movies again.

### 5/5 — First app from developer Jonah Benjamin Levine

*2026-06-08*

Impressive UI, aside from the score squishing (pretty brutal error) also username screening would be helpful
