First you needed to create an account to view reviews on the IMDB website.

As of today, the same has now been implemented for the mobile app. So far it was excluded from the enshittification but fuck IMDB and fuck Amazon who own IMDB.

What is another good movie / series review app that does not need an anal probe to look at reviews?

      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. I don’t care how ‘woke’ a person thinks something is. I want to hear a legit, constructive critique.

        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.

        “Masterpiece of reality” lol

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

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

        The site is a web app. You can 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.

            I love it when my app takes 8 seconds to load 120MB of JavaScript frameworks and CSS and images. It really gets me going, the anticipation

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

          That’s why every fucking website has that annoying banner begging you to install their spyware 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.

          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.[
