Any update coming soon? ### 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 ### 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 ### 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 ### 4/5 — Very helpful *2018-06-22, version 4.4* This is a great app for keeping track of what’s going on at your favorite theatres. Not so good for browsing films in release or pre-release, because you start from the theatre, not the film. But for using your list of theatres to see what’s playing now, show times, etc. it’s great. ### 5/5 — Fast, simple and well-designed *2018-01-13, version 4.4* Does exactly what you want it to; loads quickly and shows you movie times for all the cinemas you’re interested in, and a bit about each movie. Pretty much perfect. ### 5/5 — Good simple movie times app *2017-06-17, version 4.3.2* All I want in a movie app is something simple with movie names, showtimes and a brief description. I don't want pop-up video ads, links to buy tickets, theaters I would never visit (HELLO, I'm not crossing the Canadian border just to see Star Wars). This app delivers that nicely, and is very appealing in terms of appearance and usability. My only wish would be for an IMDB rating next to each title, but that probably requires some expensive licensing agreement. So for now I'll just be glad I finally found a simple movie times app. ### 2/5 — Hate the new look *2017-01-20, version 4.3* I am very disappointed with the new upgrade. I can't find the theaters that I normally go to. Living in a metro area we go to many different theaters in different zip codes it was easier to save theaters as a favorite and look to those theaters for times. I like the fact that I can search by cities now instead of just zip codes, but I am only able to save 2 zip codes or cities to get movie times. Some of our favorite theaters don't show up, but if I add that zip code or city, it will delete one of the saved ones. ### 4/5 — Nice! *2016-11-26, version 4.2* I expect this app will add numerous features over time. But this is such a great start. Simple UI, with all the info you need. ### 4/5 — Almost perfect! *2016-09-23, version 4.1.2* Flixster & fandango were our options. I was a big fan of wigglehop but sadly it was no longer supported. This app is the perfect answer to zero ads. Beautifully simple interface that gets to the one thing you need when you want to go to the movies: what time & where. The only thing I want now are trailers which I'm pretty sure will come in the next update. Sweet! ### 5/5 — Simple and to the point *2016-08-23, version 4.1.2* Does exactly what it needs to do... get me movie info I need in a way I want it. The perfect experience for date night and those, "want to see a movie?" moments. ### 5/5 — No ads! *2014-03-09, version 2.0* Automatically makes every other app obsolete for me. ### 5/5 — Movie Showtimes *2014-01-17, version 2.0* This program is easily configurable to display your local movie showtimes. It has a sleek interface that is way ahead of the competition! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work in U.K. or doesn’t appear to *2018-12-30, version 4.4* Doesn’t work in U.K. or doesn’t appear to ### 1/5 — Waste *2018-07-09, version 4.4* This is a terrible ap - it won’t give me all the movie theaters including the one I go to all the time! What a waste of money! ### 1/5 — Showings *2014-01-18, version 2.0* Was my go-to app for seeing what's at my fave theaters ... The upgrade eliminated what I liked .. I use fandango now ### 1/5 — Updated version loses! *2013-11-03, version 2.0* The former version of this app was so much easier to use by giving us the theaters of our choice to scroll through at our leisure. Now I have to scroll through every movie to finally find what I like and where it's playing. This is a terrible upgrade. ### 1/5 — Used to love this app *2013-09-08, version 2.0* After the update, this app has become cumbersome and difficult to view movies at a favorite theatre without searching for it. ### 1/5 — Used to be good *2013-09-02, version 2.0* I used to love this app. New version is pretty wack. I'm getting rid of it. ### 1/5 — Update was a huge mistake *2013-08-18, version 2.0* The new version of the app does away with the ability to store/browse your favorite theaters. Now it's just like EVERY OTHER movie listing app. I have no idea why the devs thought they should take something as well-designed and innovative as the first version and strip it of everything that made it unique. Deleted it from my phone. ### 1/5 — This WAS a good app *2013-07-29, version 2.0* It used to be a great app. With the latest update it is so radically different I hate it now. Why would I want to know what is playing right now at the theatre that is a 45 minute drive away? That is now the first thing that comes up when I open the app. ### 1/5 — Not worth it, liked it before update. Now it's difficult to just see the movies playing in one theat *2013-07-21, version 2.0* Much too limited information ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 5/5 — Excellent Movie App 🍿 *2020-02-25, version 4.5* Five stars for all the reasons nicely summed up by @andhow42 👍 ### 5/5 — Simply great *2019-10-05, version 4.4* Good app no frills but very accurate ### 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. ### 5/5 — Dumped Fandango and went w this! *2018-11-27, version 4.4* I love this app. It’s simple, straightforward and no BS. This guy’s a genius and a decent person for offering this to people. I’m going to find a way to donate money to this guy next. Thank you so much for giving us an app to find movies near us that works with no BS or upsells! ### 5/5 — Great app, great beard *2018-11-17, version 4.4* This app is fantastic. I used to have the free TestFlight version, and I have to say, I was pretty upset when I realized it stopped working and I had to pay for this version. But it’s well worth it as it’s a game-changer for movie-goers. ### 5/5 — Movie app *2018-11-08, version 4.4* Great app. Keep up the good work😁 ### 5/5 — Wow! What a great app *2018-09-28, version 4.4* Simple, clean, and easy to use. Much better than fandango. ### 5/5 — Best Movie Showtimes App BY FAR *2018-01-21, version 4.4* This is everything I’ve ever wanted in a movie showtimes app. No ads, no news, no social media bs. Just your favorite theaters and their showtimes. It’s perfect. I cannot recommend it enough. It’s worth every penny.
