GFAM Movie Checklist 4+

It takes forever to load and half the time doesn’t, so I just shut it off. The ability to switch from movie title to description etc is difficult and takes way too long. It should be at least as easy to use as the Hallmark app but I was thinking it should actually be better since it only has a few movies in it so far. I found the three years of movies difficult to navigate and again it should move quickly back and forth. Also it would be nice to see drop down menus. Be excellent not below standard and definitely - don’t just be like the others. Be better. It doesn’t look like much effort was used here. I deleted it previously and hope I won’t need to again because I am trying to give the network a real try at following it. I know it is only in year three BUT it is in year three people. Thanks for letting me share. I hope you are successful.

I just downloaded the app and went through marking movies. Here is what I encountered:

1) some of the header pictures included the title (most helpful after being interrupted) and some just had a link stating ‘Watch Preview’ (not helpful at all).

2) When finished, I clicked on Discover heading and checked out all the tabs. There is an issue with the Christmas tab. I missed selecting and updating three movies. All three were listed under ‘Watched’ heading. To me they should have been listed under ‘Want to Watch’ or listed above and not under either heading.

3) When I selected ‘My List’, I get 16 movies to watch and 0 watched so naturally the percent would be 0. If I counted correctly, I’ve watched 15 movies and want to watch 16 movies.

4) Not necessarily an issue but very interesting that the debut year listed on some of the movies isn’t the actual year the movie was released.

Also, under settings, an option needs to be added for updating location for scheduling the movies. Currently if someone moves to a different time zone, the current scheduling would not work for them.

And hopefully you will be adding non Christmas movies to the app.

First and foremost! This app needs a tick box that selects all to add to the watchlist.
Maybe the release for this app was pushed out too soon? Although similar to the competitor’s aesthetics, details, and layout, it’s nothing like the competitor’s functionality and it takes FOREVERRRRRR to do one movie. It loads, I add, it reloads, then refreshes requiring an additional tap to go back to the prior screen as it saves, then back to the main screen. Complete waste of time for users to appreciate. It should do the work for your viewers so we WANT to USE the app and COME BACK for more. It’s uninspiring and I want to delete it, take my own picture of the “downloadable list” and check it off.

I say this with the utmost love and sincerity for the designers and developers of this app because I want success for you, “Try again. Update it. Viewer use and satisfaction will follow. Please don’t give up, and try again. There’s serious potential here. The app is nearing success.”
