### 5/5 — Best app

*2026-06-14, version 2.5.24*

Everyone who loves movies and lives in NYC needs this app

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-06-06, version 2.5.21*

Seeing movies has never been easier! I love this app!

### 5/5 — IVE BEEN WANTING AN APP LIKE THIS FOREVER

*2026-06-04, version 2.5.21*

I genuinely had such a big problem with missing all the movies I’ve been wanting to see in theaters. Living in NYC, theres a million big and small indie theaters, it’s impossible to check daily on all their sites, you get caught up with work/life/etc. 
Ever since I downloaded this app, I’ve seen SO MANY MOVIES in my watchlist on the big screen! I mean are you kidding me, I’ve been praying for an app like this. 

To be able to get notifications like “Mulholland Drive is playing next Tuesday” 
or
“That cool 60s underground horror film you added to you watchlist a year ago is playing a few miles away!”

As a film buff who can’t watch certain movies unless experienced on a big screen, this app has saved my life. And the developer is so nice and responsive to any questions or concerns :)
1000/5 stars

### 5/5 — Simple way to see what’s playing

*2026-05-31*

I just wanted to be able to pick a day and see what movies are playing near me on that day, and this app does it beautifully.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2026-05-28*

Incredibly simple UI, super useful product. Would love if I could create an event or screening and tell friends to join and come along. Or if I could indicate I plan to go see a film at x theater at x time and invite a friend to the screening. 

Also ever think of compiling nyc watchlists and finding top want to see movies to feed back to theaters?

**Developer response:** Hey Kate! I’m working on this now actually. Email me at guillaume@paradiso-film.app if you want to chat more

### 5/5 — Cannot Select Portland

*2026-05-14, version 2.5.16*

Looks great. There is a UI that doesn’t allow me to select either Seattle or Portland as my city.

### 5/5 — Cinephiles, this is THE App you’d ever need!

*2026-05-02*

Love the design, interface, and convenience. Been thru lots of updates w lots of bug fixes and new ideas and functions. Tyyy for whoever’s behind all these!!

### 5/5 — Best movie app on the market

*2026-04-05, version 2.5.9*

So easy so cool use it every day!

### 5/5 — Really nice!

*2026-04-04*

I tried out this app after seeing the creator’s post in some cinephile subreddits. I am a fan! The interface is simple and easy to navigate. I love that my local indie and art house theaters’ showings are here, such as the Pacific Film Archive/BAMPFA which I couldn’t otherwise find on Fandango (which I have since deleted since they jack up ticket prices and have annoying ads). The Letterboxd integration is fantastic. I have a lot of Cannes releases on my list and I love that I get notified when those are playing near me (especially since I don’t use traditional social media). Thank you for this gift to the cinephile community!

### 5/5 — A Must Have for Cinema Fans

*2026-03-29*

This app is a true life saver for anyone who enjoys different movie theaters and screenings but find it cumbersome to keep up with all of them. Not to the mention the UI is beautiful and it’s very easy to navigate. One of the few apps I would pay to use!

### 5/5 — Better by the day

*2026-03-13*

Keeps improving. Love the letterboxd integration and now being able to plan out movies I want to see in advance. The developer deserves a big smooch

**Developer response:** I'm not sure what the specific issue was but let me know if it persisted?

### 5/5 — love

*2026-03-06, version 2.4.25*

paradise for cinephiles

### 5/5 — See your favorite movies in theaters!

*2026-03-04, version 2.4.25*

Excited to see “No Country for Old Men” in the theaters for the first time thanks to this app!

### 5/5 — Great service

*2026-03-04*

Very happy with this service so far in NYC. I’m able to search for films on my letterboxd and find screenings weeks in advance. Excited to see No Country for Old Men in the theater for the first time!

### 5/5 — Simple, Clean and Functional

*2026-03-04*

If you are looking for all the films released in your city, borough or in your vicinity then this is a great application to get. You can directly look at movies or see what each cinema is screening. And almost everything can be done in the app itself. It doesn’t stutters, takes too much space and is easy to use. Highly recommended for those who want to see all the releases in one place without having to switch between multiple different platforms.

### 5/5 — Invaluable for finding showtimes

*2026-03-02, version 2.4.25*

This app has been an amazing tool that completely simplifies the process of finding showtimes for the films on your watchlist, and discovering new films screening at your favorite theaters.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2026-03-02, version 2.4.25*

There is not a more effective way to see what’s screening and where

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Can’t switch to LA

*2024-02-26*

There’s no way to switch to view LA showtimes instead of NYC. I send a message to the developer letting them know about the issue and got no response.

### 3/5 — Neat idea, weak execution

*2026-06-17, version 2.5.24*

Needs to sync in real time, and better time range settings.

### 3/5 — Only Select Cities

*2026-05-14*

This app only works for a handful of cities and does not have any data outside of those. I look forward to seeing more regions represented in the app, but in the meantime, it’s not relevant to me. You should advertise the specific cities this app is made for.

### 3/5 — There was no screening Paradiso said there was

*2023-07-28, version 1.12*

I love the design and the app. But I trusted the time it wrote for a movie screening and scheduled around it. I traveled to the movie theater and waited for some time, only to learn there was no this screening. That was a bummer! I guess I should not trust the app and double-check it’s information. To clarify: I am talking about 7.25 screening of Past Lives at the Angelika in New York on July 28. 2023.

### 4/5 — Actually makes the Letterboxd watchlist useful!

*2026-07-11*

Clean design, functional, and a great idea. My only note is that the buttons and links are very small and don’t have enough padding between them, so misclicks happen often. But other than that, I’ve sent it to my friends and I can’t wait to go see something together.

**Developer response:** Hey Laura! We chatted over email. Great feedback, I changed the buttons. Also working in tickets buttons soon ;) thanks

### 4/5 — seems great so far

*2026-01-09*

just downloaded this, and I love the letterboxd integration. it seems like it only got 300 out of 460+ on my watchlist, though. not sure if that's a bug or just a software limitation. either way, thank you for making this app!

**Developer response:** Hi! I’m working on this. In a week or two it will be able to fetch 100% of your watchlist. Thanks for the review.

### 4/5 — Missing the Kent Theater in Brooklyn!!!

*2025-12-06*

App seems good overall — pls add the Kent Theater it’s a classic (ok I’m biased it’s also a walk from my house)

**Developer response:** I just added it yesterday!

### 5/5 — Great way to discover new theaters

*2026-08-19*

I’m loving this app, the integration with your Letterboxd watchlist is genius because you can find theaters playing movies that are in your watchlist instead of streaming the movie at home!! Love this app more people need to get on it!

**Developer response:** I agree, more people need to get it!

### 5/5 — Extremely useful, thoughtfully designed

*2026-08-14*

This is the exact app I’ve been waiting for. This is the exact app you’ve been waiting for, too, probably. So easy to find showtimes for things you really want to see. Great features and it seems like it’s truly not trying to be yet another social media app.

**Developer response:** Thanks Emily :)

### 5/5 — Amazing App!!

*2026-07-28*

I just flew in to NYC for the week and saw and add for this on my phone, instantly downloaded. I’m from Chicago and was looking for a Music Box/Siskel type theater and instantly found a bunch! Already went to two movies because of the app(both on my letterboxd watchlist), and I’ve got at least two more planned at the Metrograph.

It’s nice they just send you a link to the theaters website. With Fandago neither Music Box or Siskel are listed and you buy tickets through them. Will definitely try this out back in Chicago!

This app deserves more love!! (Not too much or everywhere will be sold out)

**Developer response:** Thanks! I also love to go to the movies when I travel so I’m so happy you’ve been using it for this purpose.

## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — My friend and I needed this yesterday!

*2026-07-12*

And I found it today. We had a show cancel on us due to ill and wanted a movie, but in New York, it’s so hard to compare every Theatre schedule. And now here you are! Incredible I would like to invite him but I don’t see that feature But I’m gonna go back and give it another try. Bravo.

**Developer response:** I need to make inviting friends easier, yes. Will be in a new release soon

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2026-06-27, version 2.5.25*

Great app

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-06-23, version 2.5.25*

Very useful for finding showtimes for local gems

### 5/5 — A dream come true

*2026-06-22*

My Letterboxd is filled with movies I want to see only at one of my many local cinemas. Every week I’m scouring their listings, or kicking myself for missing screening. Finally someone made an app to solve the biggest problem in my life.

**Developer response:** Ok now what’s the second biggest problem in your life?

### 5/5 — Amazing app!

*2026-06-21*

Has been hard to find an app that gets all current / revival screenings in one place reliably, and paradiso is the best. I also love the feature to sync your letterboxd so it notifies you when watchlist movies are being screened!

**Developer response:** Thanks!!

### 5/5 — Must have app for cinephiles!

*2026-06-21*

This has become one of my top apps on my phone. Helps me keep track of all of the screenings at independent theaters in town - showcasing films that I haven’t seen before. And it integrates with your Letterboxd watchlist - highlighting when films from your list are screening on a big screen in town. I’ve caught screenings of films I’ve been wanting to see - but never expected to see on a big screen - that I would have missed out on before this app. Wonderful app!

**Developer response:** Thats the spirit! Movies on the big screen

### 5/5 — Needed this!!

*2026-06-21, version 2.5.24*

So glad this beautiful app was finally made - works so well and is something the community really needed
