They don’t seem to have an app. I prefer a good app over a website.

The site is a web app. You van install it from your browser. It’s way better than IMDB and I’m not sure why it is so difficult to discover through search. Everyone should be using it.

Also the IMDb app is almost certainly just a web view wrapper, as are the vast majority of apps today

I almost always prefer the website to an app. Browsers loading a website have limited permissions on a phone vs an app.

Comes in rightfully complaining about enshitification & then hits us with a wild curveball about preferring an app (which all but ensures you will need to login, yes connecting with your google / apple account is logging in).

I don’t know what apps you are using but besides my payment apps and Google play store, I have no other apps that require login if I just want to check out some reviews or basic information. TripAdvisor doesn’t need a login, booking.com doesn’t need a login to just to read reviews. Hell even Amazon itself doesn’t require a login if I want to read some book reviews.
And I prefer an app because I can control the permissions instead of a website littered with cookies and trackers.

Why?

I tend to use TMDB more, but when I really want to know whether others consider it good or bad i check rotten tomatoes, they have an app: editorial.rottentomatoes.com/article/app/
Either way, fuck IMDB.

i do too, but its still a bit conflicted since its owned by another studio
Since January 2010, Rotten Tomatoes has been owned by Flixster, which was in turn acquired by Warner Bros. in 2011. In February 2016, Rotten Tomatoes and its parent site Flixster were sold to Versant’s (then NBCUniversal’s) Fandango ticketing company.[10] Warner Bros. retained a minority stake in the merged entities, including Fandango.[

Love TMDB.
The only downer is when someone posts a very right-wing coded review, there’s no blocking or reporting functionality, so it stands.

You weren’t kidding. First review I bothered to read and it’s clearly the ramblings of a mentally ill fascist. If this is common they should remove reviews entirely, as crazies waging culture war will hinder adoption.

Wow, openly and explicitly makes the review political. So unnecessary. 🤦♂️
