Has potential, needs more work
Downloaded this app while researching to find apps that can work with new movie releases at the cinema where audio description is not available. Unfortunately you cant access movies from other countries without some kind of pin code and sadly New Zealand isn’t in the list of countries. From the small play I had after downloading, it’s pretty easy to use. it just needs more work to expand countries and movies available and you will be on the winner.

Does this app even work
Just download this app recently and tried following the user guide to get started on. Downloading a movie to watch at a local theater. Follow the instructions however, I did not find any movies to download. Great concept but I don’t understand if I am doing something wrong or if this app is really not working?????

Rubbish
There are literally only 3 films available - all 4 years old.
Inaccessible. Constant network error. Useless. Embarrassing.
Every time I access the market list, I get a network error, which has been there since I first installed ages ago. Flicking skips over empty movie list. There is no "add movie " button. Looks like this app was written by well meaning sighted developers who haven't bothered to test with VoiceOver. Frankly this is insulting.

Perfect
Not sure what went wrong for the other reviewers but it works perfectly for me. I was only able to test on Notes in Blindness but hopefully there will be more film options available soon.
I manage a cinema so am used to both AD and DS facilities, both work perfectly on this app excellent work.

No sense
I downloads it looking for closed captions. Couldn't make sense of the app at all. Deleted.
An app with huge potential
This app does everything it says it does and functions extremely well with voice over. I tested this out and went to the movies and it worked flawlessly. I love the idea behind this app and think it has a bright future ahead for it. The only reason this review gets four stars is because there's only one movie available for now. I hope that in the future more titles will be added because this was an amazing experience! This could totally revolutionize how visually impaired people go to the movies.

Movie reading
This is a great app for those of us who are visually impaired and love to go to the movies. It was easy to install and very simple to operate. The quality of the description in the movie was excellent! Probably the best description I've heard in a movie so far. I hope that more movies are added to the list very soon. Maybe one of these days, we will not have to wait for the descriptive track on a movie.

Where are the movies?
Until there is something to rate,I can not rate the app. The idea is great,and we can't wait to see how it works. There are a lot of movies out there,but they are not on this app!! Patiently waiting....
If you want to see the one movie this app supports, it's an amazing experience.
This app worked well, but I had to synchronize the description when it started. For some reason, the description didn't seem to start at the beginning of the movie. Once I hit the synchronize button, the app worked flawlessly for the next two hours.
This is a great app with a lot of potential, but the lack of movies makes it hard for me to give it the highest review that I can.
The manual for the app implies the description downloading will take seconds. On my Wi-Fi, it took a couple minutes. Be sure to do the download before you leave for the movie.

Has potential
seems very easy to use with voiceover. However as of today, 12 – 18–2013, there is only one movie to download. I am hoping there will be more movies to try this app out with so that I can give it a higher rating. I think it has great potential for blind movie watchers and I am looking forward to more options for movies to watch.

Little more than a proof of concept
Right now, this app is frustratingly limited. While the company who created it has also produced video description for many TV series, they are not available for purchase and use with this app. Additionally, with only one movie available, it really can't even be used in movie theaters in most cases. I think I'll wait till the next version, or until more content is available to start using this app. Until then, it's just a proof of concept.

movie reading
Well, I still have quite a few questions which I still do not have the answers for simply because there are no answers on the developers website? The detailed app description says the audio description sinks in a theatre, but will it sink with anything else, a computer playing a movie or a home television in a house? It says there are in app purchases, so my question is do these in app purchases work outside the United States at all? Or are their the usual copyright issues and so on etc? My next question is if I purchase an item which doesn’t work outside the US given there are no guides on the developers website as to what is and what isn’t working so far as the in app purchases go, I take it there are no refunds? I’m actually scared to purchase anything whatsoever within the app purchases section, given that I live in Australia and not the US, and I have to be honest and say to you that although the app interface is fully accessible, I simply can’t afford to take the risk of testing any of the currently or future available in app purchases content to see what does and what doesn’t sink and which theatres or computers or home televisions could work with any of the sinking of the audio description track with the actual content I wanted to listen to with relation to using the audio description. Purely and merely based upon the actual interface of the application alone which is fully accessible for blind people, I can only at this time say this app is ok, so that’s why I am only able to give this app 3 stars. ***

Doesn't work
Nothing happens when it is supposed to listen to movie. No way to search or download movie subtitles. Useless.
English required.
The app has good potential but I'd like to see all the movies available in English so I can use it. It would be good to have a setting option also to show availability of subtitles in your chosen language.
