    I liked the website, so I figured I'd try the app. You get to read 3 reviews before it's locked behind a paywall of $4/month or $40/year. While it DOES allow you to choose content related to your subscription services and bookmark content that you approve of, 3 reviews isn't really enough to fully understand what all the app has to offer. If you have the cash but not the time, this might be useful. Otherwise, I'd say keep using your search engine.

    The app is clean and the registration process is smooth. However (and a BIG however)., they want to charge $3.99 as a monthly subscription to read reviews. I'm not willing to go behind a paywall and lock in to a subscription service for reviews. Reviews are readily available online, and the app doesn't add enough value to justify any subscription.

    This is our family's go-to website/app. for researching whether a series or movie is suitable for the kiddos to see. It's very helpful in the current environment in which we are all bombarded with "go see this new thing," with no useful info whatsoever about whether the content could be disturbing for children.

    I'm not going to lie, it's an amazing app. It's actually quite perfect, especially when I am looking for books to read. I loved the 10 minutes that I had to use this app, but unfortunately I would have to pay to use any more. I would give 5 stars but I am just a bit disappointed that I could only save 3 books before being locked out. I totally understand the creators need some kind of funding, either way I just wish a larger free trial was available. Thanks for this app though, it's wonderful.

    It seems like all they really want to discuss about is D.E.I. Material. i found lately.They've missed the mark on a lot of movies, ones that are very bad.They gave good reviews too, because there was good D.E I representation and vice versa.
