### 5/5 — Most helpful movie review

*2026-03-19*

This app is the most reliable and useful tool for movie reviews. Highly recommended for every family concerned about the media influence and protecting your family.

### 5/5 — Great for families!

*2026-01-09*

We really love this app for when I'm looking for reviews of shows and movies for my three little ones. My eldest actually is very sensitive to violence and will have nightmares, so this app tells me if exactly what's in the movie.

### 5/5 — Fan!

*2025-12-02*

I love the AP. It has been very informative and the information is exactly what I am looking for - all in one place. Reviews are excellent. The tools make finding information on movie reviews and news easy to find in one place!

### 5/5 — Perfect for families

*2025-11-25*

This app is so great. Easy to use and informative when you want to know what to watch (or avoid) with your family.

### 5/5 — Great for ideas

*2025-11-22*

I use this app every single day to decide what to watch

### 5/5 — Love it

*2025-11-08*

Love the new app. The “For You” feature on the bottom is so fun to use and find new shows for our family to enjoy. I also like that I can filter for what streaming services we have in the settings. Great product all around

### 5/5 — Grateful!

*2025-10-02*

I am a Mom of 4 and so thankful for this beautifully designed, easy to use Ap! Appreciate all the hard work, effort and research that goes in to providing safe, wholesome, clean, biblically accurate entertainment for our families.

### 5/5 — Love this new app!

*2025-09-29*

Wow! I love this easy to use app. I especially love the Ask Dr. Teddy option. I like how you can choose the streaming services you like and how the movies are put in these amazing categories to help you make a decision on what to watch, it’s going to be so easy to narrow it down when the family wants to watch a movie on a Friday night! There’s so much more positive things I could say but I may run out of room, this app is a must have!

### 1/5 — So disappointed

*2024-06-26*

I was so grateful to find an app that firstly appeared to be of Christian origin and secondly, provided so much detail about whether or not a movie used God or Jesus Christs name in vain and poof: just as of last week, every review has been modified to state there are PROFANITIES….
Really sad and utterly disappointing.

### 5/5 — MyChristmas Hero

*2023-11-26*

This is the best Christmas movie of this Season so far.  Honors God, Veteran's and family.  Great family movie. I will watch again.
