That’s literally one of my favorite app and something very important : almost everything is free ! This app is SO WORTH IT !! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the praise, it means a lot! Glad you’re enjoying Cinephile! 🍿 ### 5/5 — Requesting a Feature *2026-07-20* Hey, the app is awesome, I love it so much!! I’m thinking that if you could add IMDb official ratings in each movie and episode? TMdb is good but if it showed IMDb and Letterboxd rating it would be a banger. **Developer response:** Thanks so much for the praise! Glad to hear you’re enjoying Cinephile! The IMDb ratings are already shown in the app though, so I’m confused as to why you’re requesting them. Letterboxd on the other hand is currently missing, but I could add them too. Thanks for the feedback! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-07-19, version 3.1.2* Beautiful design ### 5/5 — The best *2026-07-18, version 3.1.2* Hands down the best ever. Beautiful sexy and sleek. ### 5/5 — Gold Standard *2026-07-17* Every so often a great developer decides to make an app. The app they make is incredibly well made and visually beautiful. Every feature is well thought out and only added because it makes sense to add. Carrot Weather, Apollo for Reddit, Things todo app, Overcast podcasts and Bear notes are examples of incredible apps made by independent developers or tiny teams. Add Cinephile to this exclusive list. It’s visually beautiful, well thought out, reliable and every new feature has a purpose and isn’t added for the sake of it. If you track TV shows and movies, Cinephile is the only and last app you’ll ever need to download. The developer Mario is fantastic and open to ideas. This app showcases his talent for both code and design. **Developer response:** This is the most wonderful review I’ve read in a while! Thank you so much for the kind words and high praise; you’re made my day! ❤️ ### 5/5 — Superbe! *2026-07-16* Testée suite à la fin de TVTime, et directement adoptée. Design excellent, des mises à jours solides, aucun bug, minimaliste comme il faut ! **Developer response:** Merci beaucoup pour vos compliments, ça me touche énormément ! Je suis ravi que vous profitiez de Cinephile ! 🍿 ### 5/5 — I LOVE THIS APP! *2026-07-13, version 3.0* My favorite app to track my movies and shows! Easy to use, so many useful tools, and very fun to use. ### 5/5 — I’m glad I found this app *2026-07-13* Like almost everyone, I’m so sad TV Time is shutting down but at the same time I’m glad because I found this app. It’s great, I’ve been using it for a few hours trying to update my library and fix my imports and I must say the UI is spectacular, well done! I hope it won’t be one of those apps that will stop getting updates only to disappear with time. We need nice apps like this!!! **Developer response:** Thrilled you found Cinephile and made it your new home! And don’t worry, we’re not going anywhere, just getting started now ☺️🍿 ### 5/5 — Super *2026-07-13* Ayant testé une tonne d’applications pour répertorier mes séries et films vus j’ai vraiment eu un coup de cœur sur celle ci ! Elle est super bien faite ! Juste j’aurai aimé pouvoir mettre que j’ai vu une série ou un film plusieurs fois sans avoir besoin d’être en premium sinon vraiment j’adore 🥰 **Developer response:** Merci beaucoup pour tous ces éloges ! Je suis ravi que vous ayez choisi Cinephile comme nouvelle communauté 🤩🍿 ### 5/5 — Wonderful app *2026-07-12* I was on TV Time but am now scrambling to find a new TV and movie tracker. So far this app is wonderful and I will probably be using this for the future! So far I have been greatly impressed and o hope to be a Premium user in the near future. ! Keep up the wonderful work! Thank you **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the praise, it means a lot! Glad you’re enjoying Cinephile! 🍿 ### 5/5 — Super polished *2026-07-11* Just downloaded it as I’m trying to find a new way to track my watch habits. It feels a little pushy on the premium features but I can appreciate that the developer can’t just do everything for free. The interface is insanely polished and responsive. Highly recommended and can’t wait to see the new social features enabled. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the praise, it means a lot! Glad you’re enjoying Cinephile! 🍿 ### 5/5 — ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I use it every day and wouldn't trade it for anything *2026-07-10* I'm a die-hard movie and TV buff from Brazil, and I use Cinephile every day…mainly to keep up with new episodes of the shows I watch, but also to catalog the movies I've already seen and the ones I still want to watch. After months of using it daily, I wanted to leave this detailed review because the app really deserves it. The first thing that stands out is the elegant design. The interface is clean, modern, and genuinely feels native to iOS. The movie/show detail screens are beautiful, and the whole experience is smooth and stable, I've never run into a crash or performance issue. What I love most are the features and the level of customization the app offers. You can organize your watchlist your own way, catalog everything you've watched and everything you still want to watch, and closely track new episode releases - for someone like me who likes to stay on top of new episodes, that makes a huge difference. Everything is very intuitive, with basically no learning curve, even with so many features packed in. What impresses me the most, though, is how present the developer is. He actively engages with the community on Reddit, asking for feedback, suggestions for new features, and even listening to criticism from users. You can tell the updates are driven by genuine improvement, not just checking boxes. That's rare to see in indie apps these days. If you're someone who likes keeping an organized record of what you watch, I recommend this without a second thought. I just picked up the lifetime plan myself; that's how confident I am this app is worth it. **Developer response:** Obrigado! I can’t thank you enough for the kind words and the thorough review, it means a LOT! Glad you’re enjoying Cinephile so much, and very happy to have you in the community. Thanks for making my day! 🥹 ### 5/5 — Du très bon ! *2026-07-09* TV Time est parti et il le fallait à tout prix un remplaçant. Je suis parti sur Trakt mais les fonctionnalités et les stats n’étaient pas assez complètes. Cette application fait extrêmement bien le travail ! La seule chose qui me manque, c’est l’aspect communautaire: Donner son avis, voir les avis des autres membres, suivre mes amis et voir leur historique de visionnage + leurs notes attribuées. J’espère honnêtement retrouver tout cela dans le futur de l’application car c’est un aspect très important. Mais pour l’instant l’application est très bonne !! **Developer response:** Merci beaucoup pour tous ces éloges ! 🤩 Je suis ravi(e) d’apprendre que vous appréciez l’app. Et j’ai une EXCELLENTE nouvelle pour vous : les fonctionnalités sociales que vous demandez ont été ajoutées et seront disponibles dans l’app à partir de la version 3.0 ! Hâte de vous retrouver dans les fils sociaux ! 🙌 ### 5/5 — Just download now! *2026-07-09* Fantastic app for tracking movie and TV shows. Really responsive dev, and the app is really well polished. Can’t wait to see the new features that are added. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the praise, it means a lot! Glad you’re enjoying Cinephile! 🍿 ### 5/5 — Exactly what I wanted! *2026-07-09* Cinephile is stunning! It’s super clean UI is just perfect and sometimes I just go through films and tv shows just to look at the UI. It’s got so many features that I love (Trakt Integration) and nothing has turned my head since. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the praise, it means a lot! Glad you’re enjoying Cinephile! 🍿 ### 5/5 — Came here from TV TIME *2026-07-07* I tried 9 different apps, this is BY FAR the best UI and ease of use. Very customisable, very smooth and slick. AND YOU CAN IMPORT YOUR LIST from TV Time. I was stressing that none of the “replacement” apps would be as easy to use as what I’m used to, but y’all THIS IS THE REPLACEMENT. Better than Refract, better than Simkl, better than Next Episode. I’m so happy! Thanks to the developer. You have designed a BANGER! **Developer response:** Whoa you’ve just made my day with this beautiful review! 🤩 Thanks so much for the kind words, and thrilled to have you onboard!! 😊🍿 ### 5/5 — A letterbox competitor *2026-07-06, version 2.8* Finally ### 5/5 — Best app for tracking shows and movies *2026-07-05* This is hands-down the best app I’ve used for tracking shows and movies, it’s completely replaced TV Time for me following its closure. It’s loaded with thoughtful, well-designed features, and the developer is genuinely responsive, actively welcoming suggestions and feedback to keep improving things. I love how engaged he is with the community, taking user input seriously even though the app already feels incredibly polished and complete. On top of all that, the UI is gorgeous! (I don’t usually leave comments on the app store, but I had to ahah!) **Developer response:** You’ve just made my day with your kind words 🥹 Thanks so much for joining Cinephile, I’m thrilled to have you here ☺️ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible customer service! *2026-07-18* Wish I could post pictures of the conversation between myself and their support person. Voiced my concern of the app freezing on me even after doing the app update, support kept saying “I have never heard this before” and asked for details. I said I’ve been trying out a few new apps since TV Time shut down and this freezing wasn’t giving me good vibes. Last response was “Ah Well, Goodbye then”! I wouldn’t waste your time with this app. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2026-04-20, version 1.7.2* I had thought that AI in the app would detect what was being watched and that I wouldn’t have to specifically add each program that I’m watching. This is just a pain in the butt to have to remember to manually add programs. I could have done this without using this program at all. I feel like it’s a very poor value and not worth the annual $29 fee. I am going to try to cancel. Not going to renew this useless program. ### 4/5 — We need poster art grid view please *2026-07-14* Coming from tv time and the import was pretty smooth it looks like. First thing that caught my eye though was unless I’m not seeing it, for tv shows it would be nice to have an option for the poster art in the home section instead of the episode art. I love that there is a grid option cause I always preferred that layout. Love to see already a “haven’t watched in awhile” section. One issue though is there is no sort for that to last watched sorting. Next unless I don’t see I still hope we get a “haven’t started” section next. Update it would also be nice if when holding on a show in the home or library changing the library status wasn’t multiple clicks. Would be nice to just have it there right away when long pressing. Also another qol of life change would be a way to select multiple shows at a time under library cause so many of my shows didn’t go to “gave up” or “paused” to match tv times **Developer response:** Thanks so much for the feedback! I’ve already added some of these features you’re requesting on the latest update, and will keep adding more. Thanks for choosing Cinephile! 🫶 ### 4/5 — Great, I have one request! *2026-07-04* Great app, very visually appealing and organized. My only request is to have subcategories for genres, for example, under documentary I’d like to be able to filter by “true crime”, etc. **Developer response:** Thanks so much for the feedback! I will look into the possibility of adding subcategories; cheers! 🫡 ### 4/5 — Muy buena *2026-04-18, version 1.7* Es excelente para registrar las películas y visualmente muy estética , solo me gustaría que tuviera la opción de compartir las películas que uno va mirando en otras plataformas. ### 4/5 — Great App! *2026-04-10, version 1.5* I really like this app, the only thing missing and I would subscribe to premium is to see the rotten tomatoes and audience score incorporated into the movie/tv show main page. ### 5/5 — Best tv tracker app with the most options. *2026-08-22* The thing I love most about this app is being able to make custom lists and also that it shows if tv shows are in progress, up to date, or completed. All the other apps I’ve tried don’t show those specific things! Best alternative to tv time. **Developer response:** Thanks so much for the nice review, it means a lot! ❤️ Glad you’re enjoying Cinephile 🍿🤩 ### 5/5 — Top *2026-08-11* Je cherchais une application pour trier ce que j’avais vue etc et c’est parfait **Developer response:** Merci beaucoup ! Je suis ravi que vous ayez trouvé Cinephile ! :) ### 5/5 — Best app to track what you are watching *2026-08-08* Get it now! This app is amazing for tracking shows and movies you are watching and want to watch. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the praise, it means a lot! Glad you’re enjoying Cinephile! 🍿 ### 5/5 — INCROYABLE !!! *2026-08-08* J’ai testé une tonne d’applications pour répertorier mes films et mes séries, mais aucune, je dis bien aucune, n’arrive à la cheville de celle-ci ✨ Elle est devenue, sans le moindre doute, mon application préférée 😍 Son interface est à la fois intuitive, élégante et particulièrement agréable à utiliser ! Je suis tellement heureuse de l’avoir découverte que je ne la quitte plus 🤗 Merci infiniment pour votre superbe travail ! Je recommande cette application les yeux fermés 🤩 **Developer response:** Merci beaucoup pour vos compliments, ça me touche énormément ! Je suis ravi que vous appréciiez Cinephile ! 🍿 ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Une pépite… *2026-08-06* Une appli vraiment bien fichue. Belle. Un développeur au top. Hyper réactif. À l’écoute de la communauté. Il ne me manque qu’une chose, les critiques de mes médias préférés. **Developer response:** Merci beaucoup pour vos compliments, ça me touche vraiment ! Je suis ravi que vous profitiez de Cinéphile ! 🍿 ### 5/5 — So smooth *2026-07-31* Best app I’ve used to track my shows. Premium is absolutely worth it. The UI is great.

Glad you landed on Cinephile and chose it as your new home for keeping track of movies and TV! 🍿 ### 5/5 — Perfeito! O melhor de todos *2026-07-24* Após a desativação do app que eu usava, busquei alternativas e inclusive comecei a usar o Sofá, porém depois encontrei app esse e ele é perfeito!!! A interface é linda e intuitiva, tem muitas funções e estatísticas. Gostei muito! Mas precisamos de mais brasileiros lá na comunidade. Vamos lá, pessoal! 🇧🇷 **Developer response:** I’m glad you found Cinephile!
