Fun, intuitive, just download it

### 5/5 — Rare find

*2022-11-29, version 1.6*

Found this app through tik tok and I’m glad did! This is such a fun way to review movies and find new ones to watch too! Now I just have to review more so I get a chance to be on the podcast with the creators!

### 3/5 — almost there

*2022-09-10, version 1.5*

Great idea, waaaaay too many ads. makes the experience almost too unbearable. but I want to love it, just needs some work

*2022-08-23, version 1.5*

Lots of fun! Intuitive interface use and great!

### 5/5 — Awesome and fun!!

*2021-11-02, version 1.3*

Not even gonna lie, it’s a pretty fun app and when you’re drunk giving movie reviews for the world to see, totally makes ya feel like your drunk opinion FINALLY matters!! (There are lots of sober reviews as well, I promise.)

### 5/5 — Fun to use

*2021-11-02, version 1.3*

A cool social way to rate movies and shows! Feels like the most social review platform I have used considering it relays heavily on video feedback from users. Very fun!

### 5/5 — So fun.  Great resource

*2021-11-01, version 1.3*

Obsessed with this app.  Super useful in getting info on something that may have piqued my interest.  Love getting real life takes on shows and movies 

With so much out there to see this helps distill down choices

### 5/5 — Endlessly entertaining

*2021-11-01, version 1.3*

Easy to use, easy to navigate and easy to get lost in for hours watching hilarious content and reviews of some of my favorite movies. I’d give this 10 stars if I could.

### 3/5 — Can’t Delete Profile!

*2021-09-04, version 1.1*

The click handler for deleting my profile is non responsive. I have sent a message to the developer with no avail.
