Customer Reviews
Not comprehensive at all!!
I had high expectations for this app since Leonard Maltin is one of the best movie critics. However, this app is severely lacking in titles. I tried to look up 20 different smaller independent films and all 20 produced no results found. This app deals strictly with big named movies with big named actors and had I known that I wouldn't have purchased it. I have watched Leonard Maltin for years and know he sees indie movies so why this app is limited is a mystery. I've seen 472 movies so far this year and it's now September and it would be nice to get leonard's opinion and I can't because half of them aren't even here. I suppose it's a good app for the casual movie fan, but with Leonard's name on it I expected more depth.
Leonard Maltin Game!
I love this app. And Doug loves movies.
Doug Loves this App
Like many before me, I use this app exclusively to play the Leonard Maltin Game from the Doug Loves Movies podcast. It's a wonderful app with succinct reviews and simple interface.
My only complaints are that there is no "back" or "history" button so you're in a constant "search," even for movies you've already looked up.
Also, and this is no fault of the app's, but there seems to be very few reviews of foreign films. Expand, Leonard!
