### 5/5 — Proof in the pudding!

*2026-08-16*

My 7-yr-old son and I just watched “Goat” today so I could rest my sick body on the couch using VidAngel as we always do. Later in the afternoon, he is blabbing on and on about how his neighbor friend watched it and said there was a bunch of language in it (language to a  little kid, mind you LOL) and my son argued with him, “nuh uh! There wasn’t anything bad in it at all!” He didn’t even know he missed a thing. To me and him the movie was just awesome and clean, but his buddy remembered all the “bad stuff” from the movie. 
That’s it.
That’s what we avoid when we use VidAngel. 
Thank you for doing this so people like us can enjoy some clean entertainment without the cloud of nonsense filling our minds.

### 5/5 — OUTSTANDING

*2026-08-16*

My absolute go-to! I don’t need 67 f-words in an episode in order to enjoy it, and I appreciate being able to remove some of the gore and gratuitous nudity and sex that so many Hollywood shows feel the need to include. Thanks, VidAngel!

### 5/5 — Reacher

*2026-08-16, version 6.30.1*

Great

### 5/5 — Reviews

*2026-08-15*

I highly recommend VidAngel! It’s the best platform I’ve found for viewing a variety of shows.

### 5/5 — Save your family values!

*2026-08-15*

Out of all apps I own none are more used than vidAngel. To be able to watch shows with my family worry free has been amazing. If you hold true to Christian values this should be a staple in your home.

### 5/5 — I love this app

*2026-08-15*

I love this app. I can finally watch what I want and not worry about what I don’t want to see.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-08-15*

I love to watch shows, but they’re all TV-MA! I’m uncomfortable with nudity and swearing. I love that I can filter that out and still watch the good stuff!

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-08-15*

VidAngel allows me & family to enjoy shows or movies that would we would not have felt comfortable watching without filtering.  Love it!

### 4/5 — Get Disney!

*2026-08-15, version 6.30.1*

Love VidAngel but seriously, get Disney and stop limiting channels just because we don’t subscribe to them thru Amazon.

### 5/5 — VidAngel for the win

*2026-08-14*

Movies are great, but often add stupid content for no good reason  VidAngel helps the movies be the best version of themselves.  It’s like a real-time life coach - for your movie.

### 2/5 — Frustrating

*2026-08-13*

Can no longer stream shows to my chrome cast or Apple TV since the streaming platforms added ads.  Makes no sense.

### 3/5 — Great but needs fixing

*2026-08-06, version 6.25.1*

It could be an amazing app….But I do have complaints…it doesn’t have Hulu or tubi not even Pluto tv it makes movie watching very limited and my in-laws have paramount through Walmart+ so it won’t even let us use paramount please add the option to use more platforms

### 5/5 — Relaxing

*2026-08-03, version 6.25.1*

I can watch a show and relax and enjoy before I always was holding remote waiting to fast forward …this is so much more injoyable as vid angel is fast forwarding for me ..I just love it

### 5/5 — Awesome app!

*2026-07-31, version 6.25.1*

I love this app to watch movies and tv shows without the swearing and inappropriate scenes. And in has a lot of popular movies and tv shows like outer banks, squid games, stranger things, Backrooms, obsession, and more!

### 3/5 — Can’t Access Apple Movie Library

*2026-07-27, version 6.22.1*

Was looking forward to having VidAngel filter content out of my movies… we have  a lot of movies in our Apple Library.  Unfortunately, the VidAngel App cannot access your personal Apple TV Video Library, it can only filter movies through the Apple TV Streaming Service.  Did not see this shortcoming mentioned in any details about VidAngel until I opened an account.  I do not want to re-buy my movies… Apple TV and VidAngel should have a marker for videos you already have in your Apple TV library.  Oh well, hopefully one day this will get worked out… for now at least Prime can be seen through VidAngel.

### 5/5 — Love this

*2026-07-08, version 6.11.0*

Excellent work

### 5/5 — Very, very grateful for this product

*2026-06-28, version 6.11.0*

We are so grateful to have this option available to us and are glad to be able to support it.

### 5/5 — thank u

*2026-06-26, version 6.11.0*

### 1/5 — Deceptive

*2026-08-12*

This app is supposed to be promoted to families, filtering, bad constant. But how do you filter something when you have movies on here that are LGBTQ, (heartstopper) you take time to put these kind of movies on here and not good movies. So disappointed with this app. I will tell everyone I know do not get this app. It is not Family orient. If I could give it a zero, I would.

**Developer response:** I'm so sorry to hear we don't have what you are looking for. We do have some restrictions on what we are able to create filters for. However, we do also have a title request tool on our website and mobile apps that you can use to see if we can filter the movies you are looking for. If you need help with that, please reach out to our support team at support@VidAngel.com. Thanks!

### 1/5 — App lacks support and user journey functionality

*2026-08-01, version 6.25.1*

As in it doesn’t function.

It seems like every month the app gets a little bit worse. Now I can’t even use it on Apple TV s unless it’s a prime video or something… 

Feels like integration support for various streaming services is non existent.

I used to love this app and I still pay my subscription for the 2 or 3 movies we want to watch per month on the service but my patience is wearing thin…

I really want to love this app again and will gladly change my review to a 5 star if it would just work!

### 1/5 — Awful

*2026-05-24, version 6.8.55*

This app has 1000 rules that don’t let watch movies/shows. It never works properly, I’ve requests dozens of movies to be added that are on other streaming platforms, with ZERO success. There absolutely no customer service! Avoid at all costs!

### 1/5 — There’s not enough titles not enough new movies

*2026-05-13, version 6.8.55*

This app does not have enough new movies on it for the price. Every time I look for something it’s not there and the movies they do have are terrible

### 1/5 — Great concept, poor functionality

*2026-04-12, version 6.8.37*

I signed up for this as I have young teen girls and the concept appealed to me. I paid the monthly subscription for several months but when I wanted to use it, it gave me an error and said I needed to Relink to the app. However, I spent an hour trying to do that but was unable to do so. Not at all user friendly or functional. I had great hopes but incredibly disappointed and would not recommend. $50 later I have nothing for my money except a lesson learned.

### 1/5 — Beware

*2026-04-11, version 6.8.37*

App doesn’t allow you to cancel subscription. I have to cancel my credit card to get out of monthly fees.

### 1/5 — Frustrated with Incomplete Seasons!!!!

*2026-03-27, version 6.8.36*

This was a great concept and resource at the beginning of my subscription but for the life of me I cannot understand why The Good Wife series has taken this long to complete on VidAngel. They’ve completed the shows The Good Fight and Elsbeth which were both spin offs that are readily available on VidAngel with both shows being fully available with all episodes. But for The Good Wife there are only two more seasons that we need to complete the series and VidAngel is taking an extremely slow time completing this series. My Wife and I started the series 2 years ago and it’s as if they are now adding a season per year now which is weird considering the series is already completed and available on Paramount Plus. I’ve requested for VidAngel to complete the series but every time I open the app they upload every other show and movie except this series.🤷‍♂️

### 1/5 — Need to fix how movies are chosen

*2026-03-22, version 6.8.35*

Liked it at first but they decide to use requests to see if they can filter a movie instead of just doing it. We asked for a movie that was a top seller on Amazon for months and performed well in the movies and still nothing. They added every movies behind and after it in top sellers. Doesn’t make sense to me. They should not rely on customers votes just to add movies. Also need an app on Samsung TVs. I’m tired of using my phone to cast it.

### 1/5 — Clunky

*2026-03-07, version 6.8.29*

App didn’t allow for managing account and linking services, even after signing up. Tried to login to website to manage linked services, and it didn’t recognize my subscription. Great idea, too bad it’s so clunky!

### 1/5 — Horrible Design and No Supoort

*2026-02-18, version 6.8.13*

I saw an ad for this and thought it would be great. Tried to activate via Apple account, started the subscription, then tried to login, it said I already have an account, then gives ZERO options for support unless you are logged in…whoever designed this…good lord. I just cancelled my subscription immediately. I’d rather watch the trashy shows than jump through the amount of hoops just to not be able to sign in. Insane.

### 5/5 — Satisfied

*2026-08-25*

Appreciate not getting traumatized by the filth that are in the movies and that VidAngel does it for us.

### 5/5 — So Grateful!

*2026-08-25*

Our family loves VidAngel! Thank you for making so many movies possible for our family to enjoy.

### 5/5 — We love being in control!

*2026-08-24*

We love being in control over what we watch. We can still watch movies that we love, but we can take out anything that we don’t want to hear or see. We love being in total control over what we watch, and what our children watch. 
THANK YOU VidAngel!🙏♥️

### 5/5 — Works great

*2026-08-23*

You forget the movie or show was otherwise filled with obscenities. We loved it!

### 5/5 — Thank you!!!

*2026-08-23*

I greatly appreciate all of the filtering options. They allow me to watch shows that I definitely would NOT watch otherwise. Thank you!!!

### 5/5 — So grateful for Vidangel

*2026-08-22*

Vidangel has opened up a whole new world of possibilities for our family for movie watching. There are so many great stories that have been created which can spark very meaningful conversations, but much of the corrupting content has prevented it. But now that has changed! This streaming service is an incredible blessing to our family.

### 5/5 — Best tool ever

*2026-08-22*

Easy to use. Is a must for families who don’t want surprises in their entertainment.

### 5/5 — TV

*2026-08-20*

I absolutely love VidAngel. I’ve watched so many shows that I wouldn’t have been able to watch because of language, violence and sexual content. I’m not afraid to watch a show with my grandkids around.

### 5/5 — Best service around!

*2026-08-17*

Wouldn’t even consider watching a movie or tv show without it!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-08-17*

A moral answer to the worlds garbage
