View trailers and films from our little cinematic universe without 3rd party ads, artificial intelligence intrusions or being tracked! The ETE app continues to be developed in-house by our cadre of former NASA engineers. They've spent countless hours pouring over the computer language 'Swift', wrestling with the Apple development program called Xcode and jumping through the hoops to upload it to the app store, all so you can grab it! Go NASA! --Currently the 'CREW' portion of the app is disabled while we run extensive project development tests and low-gravity implementation. --If you are likewise a producer looking for efficiency tools like we have been, great!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: E Tenebris at 100% against Elevate Entertainment's 39%. E Tenebris also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). Elevate Entertainment's advantage is price (Free vs $3.00) and ratings volume (1K vs 5). On ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
