## What is Reel Savings?

Do you love movies, and data? Then Reel Savings is for you! Log what you watched, where you watched it, and in what format. Instantly see how much you are saving. With built in support for AMC A-List and Regal Unlimited, and the ability to add any other program, you can track anything! Logging movies is quick, easy, and actually kind of fun.

Reel Savings is packed with features for avid moviegoers:

• Membership or not: Track A-List or Regal Unlimited showings, or include any other screenings from any theater. Have a membership that isn't A-List or Unlimited? You can add that too.
• Detailed insights: Discover your most-watched formats, favorite genres, average cost per movie, or even cost per hour. It’s all there. Plus, double features, time-of-day habits, and much more.
• Auditorium tracking: Keep tabs on favorite seats, screen sizes, and aspect ratios. See every movie you’ve watched in a specific auditorium.
• Plan ahead: Pre-log upcoming showings to view all your future movie nights in one clean list.
• Widgets: See what your next movies are right from your Home Screen with great looking widgets.
• Concessions: Track what you spend on concessions. We also have support for programs like Popcorn Pass and Snack Saver, or you can add your own.
• Ratings and Tags: Assign ratings to movies you see. Add tags to your entries to keep track of things like who you went with or mystery movies.
• Backup & import ready: Your data is easy to export and import. One tap gets all your data out of the app.
• Spreadsheet import (Beta): Already tracking your movies elsewhere? Use the included template to upload your full history in minutes.
• Sync everywhere: Seamless syncing across iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Reel Savings offers 5 movie entries for free before requiring a subscription or lifetime unlock purchase. Family Sharing is supported. Lifetime unlock means access for the lifetime of the application, not the lifetime of the purchaser. The developer reserves the right to discontinue the app at any time.

### 4/5 — best app for seeing ur savings!

*2026-08-01*

best app for seeing ur savings!  only issue i’m encountering is when logging the films i’ve seen it doesn’t give me the option to select a-list, so the savings aren’t showing up like they’re supposed to!  hopefully this gets fixed!

**Developer response:** Hey! Thanks for the review. Few quick things to check. In settings, under theater management, make sure your AMC theaters have their chain set to AMC. That should enable A-List to be selected for movies at those theaters. Feel free to reach out via e-mail and we will make sure it get sorted.

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2026-04-07*

Love this app. Helps keep track of savings and everything related to the theater experience. It makes feel even better about having my A-List subscription!

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2026-03-20*

Love this app. Helps keep track of savings and everything related to the theater experience. It makes feel even better about having my A-List subscription!

### 4/5 — Great App!

*2026-03-01*

Improvements would be to make it automated. Maybe someway to forward the ticket email and have the app get the information from the email. Wish the whole year review wasn’t removed.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review, and for the suggestion! The year end review should still be there. It shows up a week before the end of the year (monthlies do 3 days before month end). There was a bug present for a brief moment that caused 2026 to always show, is that what you are referring to?

### 5/5 — Perfect A-List Companion!

*2026-02-14*

If you are an AMC A-Lister or Regal Unlimited Member, you need this app! It’s so good for tracking the value you’re getting out of your membership. Developer is really passionate about their app and takes feedback/suggestions very seriously. I really respect the dedication and continued growth.

### 5/5 — Great app!!!

*2026-02-02*

This is a great way to track your movies and spending if you have A-List and/or Regal Unlimited! You can even generate monthly recaps and new features are being added.

### 5/5 — MUST HAVE Companion for A-Listers, or any consistent movie goer!

*2025-12-21*

​I happened across a reddit thread for the release of Reel Savings and I’ve been building my personal database up since. The developer is very active and has already done so many cool things since release to show all my stats in ways that my spreadsheets could never. Not only tracks the when’s and how’s, but it can go even further with the details of each screening. Latest update even added hyperlinks to a movie’s Letterboxd which has been a nice touch. Paired with Fandango’s website showing auditorium numbers, I have a better way to plan upcoming movies in my favorite seats and screens.  
Disclaimer: it’s not linked to AMC, so it’s user input, but the developer has most of the process automated, especially when it comes to fees and autofilling auditorium details. I had fun going down memory lane over several nights, catching up with the past couple years of A-List using my ticket order history. The monthly wrap ups have been a great new feature, and I can’t wait to get the year rewind to force upon my friends at any opportune moment to show off my numbers.  
The developer is very active with troubleshooting and worked with me early on when I had some questions. They’ve put in some amazing work making it a must have companion for anyone who is an A list regular and at such a reasonable $5 for the year (at the time of this review). I’d have easily paid more once I gave it a try to find it was exactly what I was looking for, and pretty sure what many others are as well!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the kind words. So glad you are enjoying the app!

### 5/5 — Really Cool

*2025-12-09*

I found this great. I love the stats. They helped me with a the data load which got everything in this year. It is a great movie tracker. Hoping to connect the letterbox to log it all in one spot.

### 5/5 — Absolutely Incredible

*2025-11-18*

Love all of the features this app provides.

### 5/5 — A game changer!

*2025-11-14*

If you have Regal Unlimited or AMC A-List, this is a total game changer! I used to use spreadsheets to track my data which was a pain. This makes tracking easy and fun. And at only $5 a year, it’s worth the cost of not having to use a spreadsheet anymore. Thank you for creating this!

**Developer response:** Love that you are enjoying it! Thank you for the nice review.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2026.9 — 2026-08-18

What's New:

- Mid and post credit scene support. Now Playing, Live Activities, and Upcoming movies now show a badge indicating whether a movie has a mid credits scene, a post credits scene, or both. It also shows when a movie is confirmed to have none, or when it is still unknown.
- Ability to duplicate a movie. Inspired by me buying way too many 70mm IMAX Odyssey tickets.
- Long press a movie, auditorium, or theater row to pull up a context menu with several actions, including the duplicate option above.

Enhancements:

- Support emails can now include an optional snapshot of your current settings and permissions, which makes diagnosing issues much quicker.
- Restore now checks whether your local data is current with iCloud before proceeding. If there is a mismatch you will be warned and given suggestions on how to proceed. This helps minimize duplicated data.
- New analog film format selector in the auditorium editor, for a cleaner experience.
- When you select an analog film format for a movie, the audio selector is removed and the entry is saved as standard audio. This avoids entries like 70mm/Atmos. Even in an Atmos or other premium audio auditorium, analog film plays in standard audio. The app corrects previous entries on first launch.
- When creating a theater, the chain no longer defaults to Other. If the name does not tell us the chain, you will be asked to pick one.
- Auditoriums can now be assigned a custom aspect ratio, or derive one from height and width measurements, for screens that do not match a standard shape.
- When linking a theater to a physical location, some specialty venues (a theater inside a museum, for example) would not appear, because the search only returned places tagged as movie theaters. A new toggle lets you search more broadly.
- Renamed LED projection to Onyx LED.
- An auditorium with no history but some upcoming movies now opens with its Upcoming list already expanded.
- Movie rows now offer the same set of actions everywhere they appear, and most are available before the showtime rather than only after.
- You can now delete a theater from the Screens tab or from the theater editor.
- Cleaned up the Now Playing settings. The app's own switches could disagree with the system's, which was confusing. Live Activities are now controlled entirely in iOS Settings.

Bug Fixes:

- Restoring a backup now updates your widgets, Live Activities, calendar, and Spotlight results right away, instead of waiting until you next edit a movie.
- Restoring a backup now keeps your Manage Formats choices. Formats you had switched off could come back on.
- Start Before Showtime now syncs between your devices. Setting it on one device left the others unchanged, with nothing on screen to say they disagreed.
- Live Activities no longer switch themselves off after restoring a backup or moving to a new device.
- The empty state text on a screen with no history no longer sits on top of the Upcoming rows.
- Some work, such as syncing settings or creating and updating calendar events, could be delayed if the app was backgrounded right after a change. These now finish before the app suspends.
- On the movie detail sheet, a long list of format specs could get cut off. It now wraps to multiple lines as needed.
- Info bubbles now open above or below, whichever has room for the full contents. Previously they could cut off information when space was tight.
- Fixed an issue with Live Activities on Apple Watch where the auditorium or seat could span over two lines.

### 2026.8.2 — 2026-08-02

Hot Fix: Fixed an issue where attempting to link a location to a theater in the creation process to fail.
What's New:
- Live Activities: Off by default. Can be enabled in the Now Playing menu in Settings. Will show you movie, theater, auditorium, and seat info on your lock screen before the movie starts, along with the time the movie ends and how long until the end. Shows on Apple Watch as well. 
- Shortcuts Support: Now works with the Shortcuts app. Find and filter your movies by theater, format, rating, price, tags, and more, then build anything from an average ticket price report to an automation that logs a movie in the background. Your saved filters work there too.
- Spotlight Search: Search from your Home Screen and your logged movies appear with their poster, showtime, theater, and even your seat. 
- Quicker Logging: Long press the app icon to jump into the Add Movie flow quickly, or add a button to Control Center or your Lock Screen.
- Siri Support: Say "Log a movie in Reel Savings" or "Rate my last movie in Reel Savings" to try it out.
- Calendar: Option to sync your movies to an iCloud calendar. Stays up to date with any changes you make to entries. 
- Theaters: Link a theater to its address. Used to give travel time alerts for the new calendar function. 
- Shake to Report: Shake your phone anywhere in the app to send a report. Contact Us can now attach diagnostics, and optionally a full backup of your library, so problems can be sorted out in one round trip.

Enhancements:
- Auto Backup: Manual backups are now not included in the 20 backup limit, and remain unless manually deleted by the user.
- Concessions: New field to add waived fees and have them fold into program savings. Intended for situations like the waived fees A-List offers for online concession ordering. Ticket booking fees work the same way, and fees waived at a theater no membership covers now show as their own line instead of quietly widening the gap in your totals.
- Points Redemption: Added the ability to assign points from multiple programs towards additional ticket purchases.
- Onboarding: Reworked onboarding that makes it easier for first time users to get setup and going.
- A-List: Built in support for Classic membership tier.
- Now Playing: In addition to being able to adjust the global trailer length, you can now set the trailer length the app uses to calculate end times on a chain by chain basis.
- Sync: Expanded iCloud sync. Most settings besides theme, accent color, and icon now sync across devices.
- How I Spend: Tap the How I Spend chart to see every category and amount, including the small ones too thin to label.

Bug Fixes:
- Widgets: The widget was silently unavailable to anyone on iOS 18.0 through 18.5. It now installs on every supported version. On a fresh install posters would not show on widgets until a movie was added or edited. Widgets will now populate immediately.
- Savings & Stats: Stat tiles and their breakdown popups disagreed on custom programs. Combined view double-counted companion waived fees, and leftover companion ticket info could inflate Total Value and Total Savings. Home now refreshes after points edits and after a membership renewal charge.
- Custom Programs: Added protections from deleting a custom program. App will now block deletion if there are any rewards points attributed to it in addition to movie entries. 
- Entry Add/Edit: Changing an entry's theater to another chain is now blocked if it would strand rewards on a membership that doesn't work there.
- Concession Programs: Save was permanently disabled when editing an existing program.
- Backup & Restore: Saved filters are now carried through backup and restore. 
- Auditorium: Fixed an issue where PLF may flip back to standard projection when you edit the auditorium, and where toggling a format to or from IMAX left the aspect ratio stale.
- Manual Entry: Fixed a bug that would cause the photo picker to instantly close when adding a poster to a manual entry.
