YOU NEED THIS APP
Finally thank God! So grateful to have found a way to filter through the slop! Far larger catalog of reviews for streaming services that movie guide lite offers just wish their was more under the pure flix section! Search works for me as well! Which is great because I can look up any show and 9/10 times find a review on it! One of the most important parts for me is right at the end of the review each time it goes over the values and morals the movie or tv being reviewed observes or does not observe in some cases with its creative choices! Helps me discern what watches align with my values! Thanks a bunch!

Honesty
We love an honest app that gives us insight into the motives of the writers, producers and actors. Let us choose what’s best for our souls!
Really screens every aspect. Every angle!
Love that the app gives you a full review with every scenario so parents can make informed decisions. We should have a right as to what we want our children to watch instead of things being sneaked in. I don’t like other apps that chose what to tell me about instead of telling me everything that occurs. I want to I choose what I expose my children to.

Just what I was looking for
Wanted a site which clearly & concisely let me know if profanity was prevalent in the content. Since I can’t always go by the movie or TV ratings this app was very clear.
Navigate sea of madness
My go to app for navigating in the mad entertainment world. So I can save effort and sanity to not watch what is not worth for me. Thanks a million!!!
Stars
This has been a very helpful service/app. Question: Why am I not seeing stars anymore. That was one of my favorite parts of the app.
Doesn’t work
I paid for this app and the search part doesn’t work. Keeps closing app. I want my money back
Search feature does not work and app shuts down
Not worth the .99 until they make some significant patches. The reason for this app should be to quickly access the database to be found on the full website, but it does not appear to connect to that database as advertised and only presents pushed content. That pushed content is the reason for the two stars. Otherwise, in its current version it is not yet professional. Keep trying guys!

Crashes too many times
Could be better but the content is great
Very poor search option
I have loved the reviews on MG for over 15 years, and the reviews continue to be excellent. HOWEVER there is no way to filter Search for a list of appropriate movies by Quality AND Content, as there was on the Original website. I have emailed MG several times asking for this feature to be added back. I was told a few months ago they were working on a new version. I was so exited to see this update, but so disappointed to see the Search is still limited to one line.

New update
The new version is wonderful.Thankyou!
I love the Movieguide. It’s my go to resource for movies tv shows
I love that movieguide gives me suggestions and rates movies and even gives me discussion questions after my family and I watch shows. Thank you so much!
Amazing chrisitan guide to movies
the people have been criticizing movie guide for being boring and being a repackaged version of the app store ita just a app where they tell about when movies are good or bad for christians and i belive that non religious people are rating this a 1 star for not beliving what they say, its because there not religious that means they dont know if its offensing christians or not and this is a family guide so thats why the violent movies are like a 2 or 1 out of 4 because its not family friendly but some violent movies are 4 stars for being entertaining and having good storyline i think this is a great app for letting families know what movies are good and wrong

Took my money
I paid the 99 cents and nothing pops up when I try to open the app. 😡
Accurately helps you avoid unexpected”surprises”
Movieguide’s reviews give thorough and accurate assessments of the moral and ideological content of the films, including vulgarity, sexuality, violence and adult theme. This makes choosing films appropriate for family viewing much easier and less, well, surprising. Movieguide also highlights Christian films, which are so often conveniently passed over by mainstream review sites.
A must-have app for film addicts like myself (yes, I admit it).

Love the content, but this app violates Apple developer guidelines
Love the Movieguide content, but it sadly violates Apple App Store developer guidelines. It is a repackaged version of the website and contains little to no app features, no native user interface (as it used to), and is simply not a useful app like it used to be. It's as if nobody at Movieguide actually uses the app on a daily basis to search for movies, navigate content, get alerts about the latest reviews. There isn't any watchlist functionality. The navigation is broken and you can't get back to the main home screen after looking at a review.
From section 4.2 of the developer guidelines:
"Your app should include features, content, and UI that elevate it beyond a repackaged website. If your app is not particularly useful, unique, or “app-like,” it doesn’t belong on the App Store."
Please devote more resources toward making a real native Movieguide app.

Don't waste your time and money!
Nothing useful on this app absolutely a poor copy of their website.
Lazy
It's their website wrapped poorly in an app. Come on, don't be lazy. If you're going to build an app, build a good one. This is simply a "look, me too" presence in the App Store. Unfortunately, the producers of this content are missing out on many integrations into iOS that would have significantly enhanced the application and its presence in the iOS ecosystem.

Great content...horrible app experience
For as big of a company movieguide is, and how good the content is, the application is basically a web wrapper for their mobile "optimized" website. Slow, does't scale correctly and needs to be rewritten. Heck ill do it if they would ask me...
Ads, Ads and even MORE Ads
Absolutely TERRIBLE update with this app. I appreciate your values and where you stand on many things, but your app is unusable because of all the ads popping up while trying to use the app.
