### 2/5 — Don’t wasteYour time

*2020-03-23*

Limited library. If you don’t type in the exact name with exact syntax it won’t find what you want. Needs a lot of work before it would actually be helpful.

### 2/5 — Used to be better

*2015-07-24*

When I first got this app I loved it - a quick reference in a video store to help me make a choice. But in the last 10 months at least, it hasn't shown me any ratings from Rotten Tomatoes.

### 2/5 — Where's rotten tomatoes

*2015-07-23, version 2.0*

Doesn't connect to rotten tomatoes anymore.

### 4/5 — Nice and Simple

*2015-05-25*

Great app, nice and simple. Unfortunately Rotten Tomatoes rating broken. ie. doesn't show

### 1/5 — Needs fixing

*2015-02-28*

Doesn't show the Rotten Tomato reviews and links don't take you to the RT page

### 2/5 — Be nice if it actually worked

*2015-02-24, version 2.0*

However, rotten tomatoes scores are always "n/a" and link to a 404 page on the website.

### 1/5 — Poor design - very poor!

*2015-01-16, version 2.0*

The UI (user interface) design is the worst I've seen on a functioning app. There are now settings, just a search box. 
Once you type your title (cuz it offers no predictive results) your screen is populated with movie title that you better hope are not the same or similar. Otherwise you have to guess which movie is correct because there are no distinguishing information besides ratings. No year, nothing!
The movie poster thumbnails are to small to discern anything but colors and headshots.

### 4/5 — Just what you need at the video store

*2015-01-05, version 2.0*

This app gives you at-a-glance search-based ratings from IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes - which is exactly what you need when browsing at the video store, kiosk or your queue. IMDb is good, but after searching you have to click through then scroll to see the rating, then (!) back to return to search - this app saves you all that extra navigation. 

Thank you Marcus!

The only thing I'd change would be the size of the listings - a bigger thumbnail and slightly more generous rating result numbers would go a long way to making this a five star app.

### 1/5 — No rotten tomatoes review

*2014-11-08, version 1.31*

Only shows reviews for imdb

### 4/5 — Very good!

*2014-08-24*

This app is very straight-forward and has a large library of movies to see the ratings of. The problem I have is that I wish that the year of the movie would be given at the result page when searching. Other than that, this app is great.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Search fails!

*2022-08-14, version 3.0.3*

I get no results in my iPhone 4S and 12 mini.

### 1/5 — Great Idea, Horrible App

*2021-07-11*

Here’s a perfect example of what happens when developers work without someone who knows anything about design. There’s literally no UI, the user experience is pure garbage and it one does movies, not television series. However the idea of this app is great so they either need to get their act together or someone needs to build something like it but that’s actually useful.

### 1/5 — 1 star because I can’t award 0

*2019-08-07*

I downloaded this app hoping to be able view movies ratings on the move however I searched for 10 files, Top Gun, Descendants 1,2,3 and the mission Impossible series and not one then came back. 

Don’t waste the .99 that it costs and use IMDB as I am now having to which was free and has now never let me down.

**Developer response:** Hi. The app is working again. Looks like the server was down, I apologize for the inconvenience.

### 1/5 — Absolute Waste of Time

*2019-06-25, version 3.0.3*

NOT CURRENT • FUNCTIONLESS • USELESS • WORTHLESS • NOT UPDATED for 9+ MONTHS

### 1/5 — Great idea but need a lot of work

*2019-06-16, version 3.0.3*

I was excited to see there was one place you could see IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes ratings so I quickly downloaded it.  But not 15 minutes in, I deleted it.  Great concept but not current.  For example, i looked up the following movies and was amazed by what I found:

Typed in Shaft, the Results didn’t show the movie for this weekend (2019 release more Shaft than you can handle). It pulled up all the old previous release Shaft movies.  

Typed in MIB... Men in Black didn’t appear

Typed in Men in Black... all appeared but Men in Black International... I had to type in the whole title for it to come up. 

Typed in X-Men... Dark Phoenix didn’t not appear.  I had to type Dark Phoenix for it to come up.  

The movies that were recently released, scores were not available (N/A).  E.g.. Dark Phoenix didn’t have a IMDb score.  

I’ll continue to use IMDb and Flixster apps to get the ratings.  By using those, I typically find out other knowledge I wasn’t really researching.  

Keep up the good work.  I know by reading this review, you’ll definitely improve on what you developed.

### 1/5 — Not good

*2015-07-30, version 2.0*

Does not show any of the Rotten Tomatoes scores. Almost like the links are broken. 

Besides that, very buggy app that takes a long time to load (on wifi) and doesn't appear to have any maintenance or upkeep.

### 1/5 — Great idea, bad execution

*2015-07-04*

Doesn't load RT ratings, which renders the app useless. Interface is a search bar, better to just search Google instead...

### 1/5 — I give up

*2015-06-27, version 2.0*

This app is just wasting space on my phone. The Rotten Tomato scores don't work and my searches often fail.

### 1/5 — TERRIBLE

*2015-04-07, version 2.0*

Can't see any reviews and Rotten Tomatoes rating is always NA. Don't even bother downloading.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2015-04-04, version 2.0*

It has small plot descriptions and the rotten tomatoes sign always says "N/A". SO not worth it. Can't see individual reviews

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2022-10-05*

Simple and it works. I can’t believe there isn’t a website for this and it took me so long to find this app. Fantastic, thanks to the creator :)

### 5/5 — Clean and simple

*2015-01-29, version 2.0*

Search a movie and it will provide the rottentomatoes and IMDB score. If you click the score it will take you to the official website.

### 5/5 — Great app to have !

*2015-01-27*

Fantastic app every one should have on their phones. Simple and works well. Has every movie you can watch. Always good to check if the movie your about to watch is worth you while ! Great job developer

### 5/5 — Simple

*2015-01-06, version 2.0*

A really simple app that combines IMBD and rotten tomatoes ratings. I would like to see the rotten tomatoes audience rating as well.

### 5/5 — Better than Flixster

*2014-12-19, version 2.0*

Much better than the bloated, ad-filled Flixster app. So glad to have it updated for the iPhone 6 and have Rotten Tomato ratings working again. Thanks for the great app!

### 5/5 — Simple!

*2014-12-06, version 2.0*

Love the simplicity of this app, gives me the ratings I want and that is a all!

### 5/5 — Thank You

*2014-09-15, version 1.31*

Thank you.I needed this app.Now I don't need to ask Siri for movie ratings.It's not always accurate to talk to her.This app was just what I needed.It gets straight to the point.No questions asked.I recommend that any movie lover(such as me)to download this app.This app is genius.

### 5/5 — Simple and useful

*2014-08-19, version 1.31*

Great app! Now I can get a quick idea of a movie worth watching!

### 5/5 — Does exactly what you want

*2014-07-28, version 1.31*

This app works great so far. It shows the IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes score on the search page. Clicking a title opens up a description and allows you to go to the IMDB or RT page for that movie. It doesn't allow you to search/sort my genre, rating, or actor. It is a straightforward search for movie to see score, which is exactly what I was wanting.

### 5/5 — Handy

*2014-07-03*

Quick and easy to check any film review!
