Ratings and reviews

Free movies w/ONLY a library card and internet needed 🩷✅🆒🎊! I love the app with it's various movie selections: new, international, modern, indies, classics, and more! A movie buff🍿🎥? Bibliophile 😍📚? You must download this a.s.a.p. You'll receive uninterrupted, top-notch viewing with allotted tickets 🎟️🎟️, to use per which movie you watch. It's that easy! I'm recommending this to contrast/supplement any other (free/library) film app - a rare feat.

Kanopy is a great resource if your library offers it, giving you access to a ton of free movies and TV shows in all genres, as well as documentaries and kids programming, all with no ads. The video quality is good. the only drawback and the reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is that video playback is in portrait mode only. This is fine if you're watching on a tablet, but absolutely miserable on a phone. Wish they'd fix this, but it doesn't seem like it's gonna happen.

I'm quite new to the app though I've known of it for several years, but less than a few months as a user. The selection is quite good. The image "freezes" in nearly everything for a few to 30 seconds and I've no idea why. A newer phone, stronger signal might be the answer. 12/01/24. A YEAR LATER and I am extremely impressed by the wealth of new (and older classics) featured, domestic and foreign found here. It's a great community benefit. Thanks and keep up the good work!
