First, I would recommend you somehow warn folks that there are some things here that might offend (older and kids). I have no problem, that is what pulp is. Animated, horror, BAD movies, I enjoyed that the content is much more diverse than I expected plus there is an upgrade available for even more better ‘stuff.’ And of course, you had “Plan 9....” so you had me immediately! But what really got my attention is the review written by “Xoxoxo jay jay jay home” in spring of 2018. he is passionate about wanting old movies to be available for free, “ especially REALLY OLD ONES from before 2000” ! (my caps )LOL, . Perception of age, so relative, chuckle. Since I’m 70 next month you know this caught my attention and I laughed so hard. Since then, I shared it with probably 20 people who have expressed interest to me about using your app so you should probably send the young man thanks for his marketing. Meanwhile , regarding your app, there are a few things that need to be brushed up, cleaned up, or changed (subtitles?) but they’ve all been talked about by others here. They’re not huge issues ,not unexpected for new software. It takes a while to shake out the bugs, i’m a retired software developer so I know of which I speak. Keep the passion, keep having fun. And to borrow from Quentin Tarantino, continue to find and save those pieces of ‘grindhouse’ history for us. So appreciated! Go Team!

Watching this on my TV with Apple TV. Tons of issues. Functional issues,occasional movies in wrong genres, difficulty reading some movie titles, and the search feature is just bad. The search feature is probably the most frustrating thing. First, it won’t let me do voice to text or even type a title. I have scroll with the remote to each letter and click it. After each click it has ta 3-5 second pause while it slowly refreshes the list. Have a typo or backspace to delete a word? One backspace, wait 3-5 seconds to refresh, hit backspace again, wait 3-5 seconds. It’s almost like the database isn’t indexed or something. In the search or genre sections, the movies don’t have a text typed title showing, you have to read the thumbnail image. Especially with older movies, these are poor quality scans of a movie poster and it’s too small or blurry. You have to click it to go into the movie start screen to see what the title is and even then you can’t always read the funky old school font or, because a trailer is playing behind it, the background and logo might blend or bleed. That’s all I’m willing to type out but there’s several more problems

The content on this app is unbelievably precious- right up my alley! I'm so happy that someone decided to give the (other) people what they want. The only thing I would say that makes things difficult is that when you try to return to a movie after a few minutes outside the app- you lose your place. Simple convenience tips for the user friendliness but other than I think it's fantastic!!
