Popcorn
I made the popcorn recipe in the app. It wasn’t listed but I used ghee as the base oil and it came out great. I’m an Act II guy myself but wow get rid of the microwave and try your stove! It tasted like I was back in front of the silver screen at my favorite local theater. I was able to read the Constitution of the United States while eating the popcorn which was a nice bonus, but I would give this app 4 stars because they didn’t include the amendments. The popcorn is really great though and there’s also some movie reviews and suggestions so they earned that star back.
Now that I think of it I could have watched a movie while eating the popcorn, instead of reading the constitution. Maybe in the future they’ll add watching the movies they suggest through the app. Or maybe just add a notification “Hey don’t forget to watch a movie!” when you follow the popcorn recipe. Logical next step. But yeah it seems to be mainly about movies so popcorn and constitution enjoyers- buyer beware. But who doesn’t like movies?
5 stars.

No audio, Ads before episodes. 0 bagger. Disappointing.
Should be taken down. There should at least be a developer note that the app doesnt work correctly anymore. I get that its 8 years old, so either fix the audio or stop selling it. I know its only .99 cents but c’mon it’s still money. At least if this is the biggest black eye for the otherwise stellar on cinema universe then the Heinetwork is still #1 in all media.

App no longer works. No sound. Do not buy.

Needs an update
This app does not work with iOS 11, which I did not know before I purchased it. The app needs to be updated.

No longer works
App crashes constantly on iOS 10 and not updated to work on iOS 11. I give it five bags of popcorn and a portable fan for those Chinese iPhone maker kids.

Please update! I don't know what to watch anymore. What movies are good and which are great?

I give this app zero bags of popcorn
It recommended Gigli as a 5-bagger. Tim even said its his all-time favorite movie.
Zero bags.

This is a game-changer
Finally...an app that contains comprehensive reviews of all of the films in the American lexicon. Prior to stumbling across the app, I'd never heard of Tim & Gary. I can tell you one thing...this app is a game-changer...and I expect for Tim & Gary to become household names now. This is what the Internet was supposed to be for. It's not supposed to be games and stuff. It supposed to be hard work. This is what that is. And this is why I like it.

Hey guys
Great app, great for families, great for fun. Feels a little weird rating this app on the "star" scale, so while I do give this app five stars, please know for accuracy's sake that I most definitely rate this app as 5 bags of popcorn, two bags of soda, and maybe throw in a phone charger as well since You're going to be using up all your battery looking up reviews from the best movie experts around!

Great App, Great Value
I expected a great movie review app. And I got one.
What I did NOT expect were neat extras like a clock and a constitution. But I got those too.
Now that's what I call great value.

Thanks Tim and Greg
This app has helped me so much with my movie watching experience. It has also helped me to not end my life. Needs update though.

Five bags of popcorn
I love this app and it's so good that they're still making these kinds of apps! This comes with a constitution so you can know that Obamacare is wrong.

The only app you'll ever need
This app is pretty amazing and comprehensive. Need to read the latest review on the Hollywood blockbuster? This fits the bill. Need relationship advice? This app has all the answers. Need to know how to fix your sink? This app. Need money? This app. Want sex? This. It's all here. For 198 hay pennies, friends.

A home run thru the end zone
Really incredible app and hands down one of the best mobile film guides out there. Wired recently did an extensive feature on the development that went into to the back end of this. Heard a rumor that Google might be buying the rights to this for their nu(sic) "Patriot Phone". Looking forward to Tim's interview on The Sean Hannity show about having to cut review budgets in the wake of Obamacare.

"This app is simply AMAZING!" - Vodge Diper
Don't even waste your time with other movie review apps. Tim and Gregg are true film connoisseurs, and with this app, you now have their expert opinions on virtually every film right at your fingertips! Get this magnificent mobile smartphone application, treat yourself to a bag of popcorn, and enjoy!

The Citizen Kane of Movie Apps
The only movie review app you'll ever need. Gladly would have paid double or even double-and-half what they're charging for this essential tool for movie buffs.
Leonerd Maltin should be shaking in his shoes; the On Cinema app completely eliminates the need for his film "criticism".
Thanks, Tim & Gregg!

Honest reviews of films
I purchased this app as a gift for a friend and let me tell you, the movie nights we have now are never a disappointment. We never watch a stinker.
If I could borrow the On Cinema scale for just a moment I'd give this app 5 bags of popcorn and at least an iPhone 3 (to run the app).

HIGH ART
Ok. So, this app is the official app for the web series and podcast "ON CINEMA AT THE CINEMA" starring Tim Heidecker (of Tim & Eric Awesome Show Great Job) and Gregg Turkington (aka Neil Hamburger). For the most part, the app randomly generates hilarious audio-visual reviews for just about any film. It's sort of a meta-joke based on the already meta- web series, in which the hosts nearly always 'love' the movies they watch and usually offer bland, uselessly positive reviews. While the app creates random reviews for the majority of films in its database, querying certain movies gives you specific, 'easter egg'-like reviews. For example, "Star Trek II". (Here is the current list of movies that I've found so far: "American Graffiti" "Jack Reacher" "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" "Atlas Shrugged: Part I" Also, Bond films.) The 'Extras' features (clock, popcorn recipe, US Constitution) seem to be poking fun at all the lame apps that cram pointless bells and whistles into their app to appear like a better value. I kinda love the choice of the old Windows 3.1 clock! Seems so antique. But anyhoo, this app provides a rich, immersive, interactive experience that could only have been achieved in this weird new medium. TLDR: Get this app if you like mind bending art/entertainment that only costs $1!
★★★★★negativeCarlito's Whey · 2013-09-19 · v3
Pure Dada
I can only assume the app is a joke or social experiment. Th reviews consist of an apparently arbitrary assemblage of audio clips. He reviews are a lot always positive and in the extreme. If this app is a joke, it's. good one.

Video Tape Store Confusion headaches gone forever!
No more endless searches for the best VHS tape at the local Hollywood Video for me! This app is a movie game changer! Plus the Jack Reacher review......spot on!
