Track Movies, TV, Games, Books
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
One app for everything you watch, play and read.
Buck The Critics is a social tracker and review platform for movies, TV, games and books — all in one place. Build a watchlist, rate what you finish, and get personalised recommendations from the people whose taste you actually trust: your friends.
No bots. No paid critics. No generic "trending" algorithm. Just honest reviews from your circle, weighted toward the friends who love what you love.
WHY BUCK THE CRITICS
EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE
Track movies, TV shows, games and books in a single app instead of juggling five. Every title page is beautifully laid out with artwork, cast, trailers and streaming availability.
RECOMMENDATIONS YOU CAN TRUST
Invite friends to build a private review circle. Buck learns whose taste matches yours and calculates a personal score predicting how much YOU will like something — so your next great watch, play or read is always one tap away.
DISCOVERY THAT GETS YOU
Filter friend-reviewed titles by genre and theme, surface hidden gems with DNA Match (titles that share the creators you already love), and let Top Picks act as your personal to-do list of what to watch next.
NEVER LOSE TRACK AGAIN
A streaming-aware watchlist and game backlog, a reading tracker for your books, and a running diary of everything you've rated.
BETTER WITH FRIENDS
Follow a feed of what your circle is watching, playing and reading. Like, comment and debate in the threads. Share beautiful review cards to social in one tap.
GO DEEPER WITH BUCK AI
One tap for trivia, easter eggs, "Is this for me?" overviews and "What did it mean?" interpretations on any title or creator — no spoilers, no leaving the app.
PLAY THE LONG GAME
Take on themed challenges, complete creators' back catalogues and book series, and earn AI-designed trophies for your cabinet as you climb from Curious Fawn to Celestial Buck.
Your friends have great taste. Put it to work.
Download Buck The Critics and never waste another night wondering what to watch.
