Be the Critic
Your movie night scorecard.

Free for iPhone. No ads, no account, no email.
With the crew, or on your own.
You choose when you first open the app, and you can switch any time in Settings.
With the crew
For movie nights with friends or family.
- Pass-the-phone groups: one phone, no internet.
- Online clubs: everyone rates on their own phone.
- Every rating you make is also saved to your own Ticket Stubs.
Indie critic
Just you, keeping track of what you watch.
- A simple log of every movie and how you scored it.
- Your all-time standings and a Year in review.
- Nothing leaves your phone.
Everything in the app.
- 01
Ticket Stubs
Every movie you rate, on your own or with friends, in one list. See your all-time standings and a Year in review.
- 02
Pass-the-phone groups
One phone, no internet. Everyone rates in turn behind a cover screen, and the results stay hidden until everyone's in (or the host reveals them).
- 03
Online clubs
Invite friends with a link or code. Everyone rates on their own phone, and No peeking hides the scores until everyone's rated.
- 04
Taking turns
Rotate who picks the movie. Skip, pass or pick for someone who's away. Round recaps and season wraps crown the best pick, the best taste and the dud.
- 05
Share cards
Turn any result, recap or ticket stub into a square or story image for the group chat. Club names stay off unless you add them.
- 06
Backup
Your Ticket Stubs and groups come with you to a new phone through your own iCloud or a backup file you keep.
Six categories, one scale.
Tap a bulb, or slide along the row, to score each category from 1 to 10. Each one has a short guide, so a 7 means the same thing to everyone in the room.
Story
Plot, structure, and whether the ending pays off.
Acting
Performances, chemistry, believable characters.
Direction & Pacing
Tone, momentum, and whether it dragged.
Look
Cinematography, effects, sets and costumes.
Sound & Score
Music, soundtrack, and sound design.
Enjoyment
How much you had a good time. Would you rewatch?
Story 9, Acting 8, Direction 8, Look 7, Sound 9 and Enjoyment 9 make 8.3.
Every rater counts the same, whether they loved it or walked out.
Best taste ranks who picks the best movies. Your own rating of your pick doesn't count.
