Listing changes AppTracker has observed for this app in this storefront — new versions, price moves, rating shifts, and store copy.
Ready for the holidays. • Home now opens with a Holiday Spotlight: the most anticipated films still ahead this season, with the full slate one tap away. • Release Radar has a Holidays view for everything opening in November and December. • From November 1 through the end of the year, a little snow falls on Home (none at all if Reduce Motion is on). Upcoming films you've saved now show your Great+ odds on Release Radar: the chance you'll rate them 8 or higher. Add a film to your watchlist and How to Movie will offer a heads-up when it lands on your streaming services. A few days after it does, if you haven't rated it yet, it will ask whether you watched it and take you straight to rating it. Year in Review is now told in pictures: walls and bars of posters, portraits of the people you kept coming back to, and small charts for the numbers. In Insights, every genre, studio, month and crowd row now opens the films behind it, and a person's name opens their bio. Rankings stay on screen while they update after you rate a film. Also: release-day reminders now arrive on the release day, not the morning before. The weekly Top Charts refresh picks up where it left off if you leave the app. And on iPad, Rankings and your Profile make better use of a wide screen. And Settings has one more neighbor from the same studio: Deal Hunter, which tells you the moment a movie you want drops in price.

About
Know how you'll feel about a film before you press play. How to Movie predicts how you will rate a film, using a personal model trained only on your own ratings, never the crowd's average. Rate what you have seen, and every film on your watchlist gets a verdict calibrated to how you actually rate: Risky, Good, or Great. Not a generic 7.5. A model that is only about you Recent favorites count for more, so predictions keep pace with how your taste actually shifts. What you'll skip is learned from every film you have ever rated; what you'll love, from your recent taste, because that is the half that ages. Your Taste Profile See who you are as a viewer: your signature genre combinations, the people driving your recent taste, where your taste is heading lately, and where you disagree with the crowd. A watchlist that earns its place Every film on it already has a verdict. Filter by decade or release year, see what is out now, and let Deep Pulls draw six films you had forgotten you added. Widgets, on both screens Five of them. Next Up keeps the film you are most likely to love one tap away, and can be pinned to only the ones it calls Great. New Trailers shows what has just landed for the films you are waiting on. Coming Soon counts down to the watchlist films that are not out yet. Insight puts what the app has noticed about your taste on your Home Screen. Your Taste is built for the lock screen, and the other four work there too. Rankings and stats Your favorite actors, directors, studios, genres, and eras, ranked by your own ratings. You already knew you disagree with the critics. This is the proof. Year in Review A shareable, image-rich recap of your movie year, plus a seven-year "Your Era" retrospective. Optional AI Discovery AI recommendations read your taste profile and surface films worth your night, and only when you turn them on, using your own key. Private by design. Your ratings and any AI keys stay on your device. No ads, no analytics SDKs, no tracking. Free to use. How to Movie uses the TMDb API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDb.
