### 5/5 — Apple Trailers Replacement

*2026-02-22, version 4.5.7*

I’d like me you dearly miss Apple Trailers, not just for movie trailers, but also for is clean, streamlined movie showtimes experience, then this is the app for you and is beyond worth its $1.99 cost. It provides movie showtimes for your favorited theaters and nothing else. Absolutely minimum, no ads, no ticketing funnel, no partner tie-ins, no logins, no nonsense. Only think missing imo is an Add to Calendar for the showtime with theater address. It does have an Apple Maps link to for theaters though, which helps.

### 3/5 — This hasn’t worked in while

*2024-03-30, version 4.5.6*

Mine has stopped pulling movie times. Any update coming soon?

### 1/5 — Not working

*2024-03-28, version 4.5.6*

Getting an error message for the past month or so. This is one of my favorite apps and would love if it could work again

### 4/5 — Great app that is simple and works

*2020-11-13, version 4.5.1*

I wish you could save a list of favourite movies as well as cinemas

### 5/5 — Excellent Movie App 🍿

*2020-02-25, version 4.5*

Five stars for all the reasons nicely summed up by @andhow42  👍

### 3/5 — The Palace Byron Bay

*2019-11-09, version 4.4*

The app is perfect except that I can’t find my closest cinema

### 5/5 — Simply great

*2019-10-05, version 4.4*

Good app no frills but very accurate

### 2/5 — Add location

*2019-03-08, version 4.4*

How do i add movie theater that is within my city?   

How do i contact Cliff if i do not have twitter

### 5/5 — Simple and easy to use.

*2019-02-16, version 4.4*

Great

### 5/5 — BEST MOVIE LISTING APP

*2019-01-17, version 4.4*

It’s the best, plain and simple. If you don’t buy it you’re objectively missing out. Atom and Fandango are cluttered messes filled with ads. Atom is fine, but you still have to put up with ads.

If the following things were added, it’d be 100% perfect:
- ability to change color schemes and background
- seat maps
- ability to buy tickets directly through the app

Those last two things might be impossible though, idk if theatres have public access to stuff like that for smaller developers.
