About this app

GRETA - your app for magical shared big-screen moments! The GRETA app plays different special versions at the cinema and at home. This way, foreign language speakers and people with visual or hearing impairments are able to experience and enjoy films together in the same cinema hall.

The GRETA app currently offers the following features (not all features are available in all countries at this point, please check the details in the app):

Multilingual dubbing, subtitles, and original versions
Audio versions: English original versions, as well as dubbed versions in Spanish, French, Ukrainian, Turkish and more
Subtitles: English, Spanish, French, Ukrainian, Turkish and more

Accessibility versions:
Audio description for visually impaired film fans
SDH subtitles for film fans with hearing impairments
NEW: Sound amplification for film fans with hearing impairments and hearing aid users
COMING SOON: Sign language videos

Audio film:
- The film sound combined with the audio description lets you enjoy the film with the original film sound and actors’ voices, whether you are at home or on the go.

The app automatically recognises the film sound at the cinema and at home and plays the selected special version in sync with the film. The syncing only takes a few seconds.

With GRETA, you can finally experience films the easy way. You can now watch any film in any cinema at any time, alone or with your friends. We provide the films on behalf of the film distributors.

This is how it works:
Install GRETA, register using a strong password, and download the desired version, ideally while you are still at home (WiFi). When the film starts, all you need to do is press “Play”, and the app automatically recognises the film sound. Don’t forget to take your favourite headphones! Of course, you can pause GRETA at any time, and when you carry on, the selected version always starts automatically at the correct point of the film. Sounds easy? It is easy!

For multilingual versions: The app checks if the time of the show is correct and whether you are actually at the cinema. Please allow accurate localisation. After a successful check, a play button appears, and the film fun can start.

Special features of this app:

• Compatible with Android 8.0 / iOS 15.0 onwards
• You can go to any cinema of your choice at any time, autonomously and independently

Ratings and reviews

The intention of the app is great but unfortunately it still needs a lot of improvement, the audio worked for some time and then no more, then back. I spent great part of the movie trying to fix it, restarting and reinstalling the app. There is no way to fix the synchronization of the audio by yourself.

Completely killed the movie experience. Audio was out of sync by several seconds, making the movie unbearable to watch. I understand that syncing to third-party presentations is hard, but why not simply allow users to fix sync offsets manually? Also, when I'm out with friends in a movie theater, the last thing I want to do is navigate a super secure signup process with a 12-character password and email verification. This is not the nuclear football, it's an app that plays audio tracks of movies.

The experience was awful and stressful. The app worked for 2 minutes and then stopped. When restarted, it worked for another two minutes, and then we had to repeat the fixing process. Happened on four different phones during the same movie function.
