### 2/5 — Harder to find a film despite AI to help

*2026-08-28, version 1.2.0*

I have loved the website for rotten tomatoes for so long, it’s still where I want my movie reviews, but their app leaves a lot to be desired. Messy, clunky, a basic question posed to its AI didn’t respond after waiting a full minute.  Do better guys.

### 4/5 — Critics

*2026-08-23, version 1.1.0*

I hate how movie critics give our favorite movies bad reviews like spider man brand new day, but I guess it is their opinion. Just assign them a movie that they would like which can make it work out for the audience who care about movie reviews!

### 4/5 — Rotten Tomatoes Review

*2026-08-23, version 1.1.0*

I love seeing the critical reception for films and tv series but I wish that the app had an option for disabling auto play videos. It drains the battery a lot and is also an accessibility issue.

### 2/5 — I NEVER write app reviews

*2026-08-19, version 1.1.0*

The new RT format is terrible and the search icon is still too small and in the wrong place. Try again PLEASE

### 2/5 — 2/5

*2026-08-09, version 1.0.0*

This app is always glitching, lagging, or being unresponsive. Very disappointing. Similarly, navigating the layout and formatting of this app is tedious and annoying. However, when it is working properly, it is fairly enjoyable, helpful, and fun to use.

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2026-08-09, version 1.0.0*

I was expecting to be able to write a heartfelt review, but the application wouldn’t let me.

### 5/5 — Review before watching

*2026-08-08, version 1.0.0*

I try to search and find out what rating movie  has before watching.  Saves me time skipping poor rated while enjoying better movies

### 4/5 — This service is wonderful

*2026-08-08, version 1.0.0*

By reviewing so many shows I get to pick which are meaningful to me.

### 2/5 — Good for reviews

*2026-08-07*

Good for reviews but it’s American details, for where to watch and booking tickets etc. I’d have thought this would be regionalised so that’s a shame. 
The only win is it’s easier to search for stuff via app than the website

### 5/5 — Love the app

*2026-08-07, version 1.0.0*

I use this app constantly. It’s such a great accessory to help decide between the array of available entertainment on streaming services.  Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — What to Check

*2026-08-04, version 0.5.44*

For just about everything we watch, Rotten Tomatoes is where we go to check reviews. The tomatometer is usually spot-on and accurately shows what we can expect going into a show.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2026-08-04, version 0.5.44*

Easy to use, helpful reviews, and a great way to discover movies and TV shows. I check it all the time before deciding what to watch.

### 5/5 — "Broken Land"

*2026-08-04, version 0.5.44*

At last, an empathetic film about an immigrant that involves individuals we get to know. The rancher worries about an immigrant who he shot at one night. Worried, he's relieved to find her wounded yet still alive. He's concerned for her. He can't bring himself to turn her in or abandon her, indeed, she requires treatment. It's a compelling story that pulls at the human heartstrings.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Fake

*2026-08-31, version 1.2.0*

Fake

### 1/5 — Buggy, frustrating

*2026-08-28, version 1.1.0*

Not a fan of this app. Had to delete and just use RT on my browser. App repeatedly froze.

### 1/5 — It’s a joke

*2026-08-23, version 1.1.0*

Rotten tomatoes has PR firms behind their reviews making anything ‘fresh”.  Seriously need a new way of reviewing movies.

### 1/5 — I’m not sure how this got 4.5 stars

*2026-08-22, version 1.1.0*

I don’t write a lot of reviews, like most people, it’s got to be fantastic or terrible to get a reaction strong enough to bother to rate. If you want to select your streaming services and find a movie on a service you subscribe to, this is not for you. Maybe I don’t understand what the app is for, in which case, I apologize to the developers. The navigation is not intuitive or consistent from screen to screen, or accurate- for instance clicking on “Full Review” in “Death of Robinhood” took me to a review for “Supergirl”- filtering on my streaming services and then selecting one of the displayed movies told me “no offers in your area”, so… just so you know that I’m (probably) not an idiot or technically inept- 30 years in IT/Tech Support and I’ve developed several apps.

### 1/5 — DOES NOT WORK!!!

*2026-08-17, version 1.0.0*

IVE NOW BEEN FORCED ONTO A COMPLETELY NON WORKING APP - GREAT JOB!! NO MORE ROTTEN TOMATOES FOR ME👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

### 1/5 — Landman

*2026-08-13, version 1.0.0*

Landman had a lot of potential, I thought, however, terrible narcissistic, oversexed characters who act completely ridiculous and inappropriate, ruins the main storyline. The viewers are driven to distraction with the nonsensical portrayal of unrealistic actors. I tried three times to watch it and finally got through four episodes and I am done. I’m told the writing in Season 2 is worse. Too bad, I am a huge Billy Bob fan.

### 1/5 — Buggy & Deletes Lists

*2026-08-12, version 1.0.0*

This app has been painfully buggy for me recently. I regularly have a custom list for movies that I’ve heard about and want to look into- when I decide that it’s something I want to watch, I move it to my Watchlist.

The process of removing a single movie from my watchlist (just unchecking the box) caused a glitch that removed ALL the movies from that list to be deleted from the list. This has happened twice now.

The worst part is that there’s practically no way to get in touch with customer support for the app, so movies on these spur-of-the-moment lists are gone forever.

It’s been incredibly frustrating, especially as there’s no solutions for these bugs.

### 1/5 — Awful log-in

*2026-08-03, version 0.5.44*

Logging in is completely broken and dosent work. Horrible app.

### 1/5 — Can’t filter out fandango results

*2026-07-31, version 0.5.44*

Probably just trying to sell Fandango memberships by not let people filter out those results.  Useless.

### 1/5 — USELESS

*2026-07-30, version 0.5.44*

Useless app

Can’t see a film or series without checking first!

### 5/5 — Streaming Made Easy

*2026-08-23, version 1.1.0*

I love this app! I’ve always struggled to find something to watch. I have nearly every streaming platform, so having RT helps me find interesting things to view, with the bonus of knowing how it rates.

### 5/5 — My go to source for movies and TV

*2026-08-23, version 1.1.0*

I feel that RT’s app is the best because Critics and audience reviews offer the ultimate important dual perspectives.

### 5/5 — I feel best with RT reviews

*2026-08-22, version 1.1.0*

Every movie I check with rotten tomatoes

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2026-08-15, version 1.0.0*

I’ve always loved the Rotten Tomatoes reviews. It gives me a really good idea of what the actual audience thinks, in addition to the critics of course. The app is easy to use, and I really like creating Watch lists with the Rotten Tomatoes ratings right there.

### 5/5 — This is a fun show!!

This is a fun show!!
