Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I update the movie data?

The movie data is updated automatically on a daily basis. You can also update the movies via pull-to-refresh.

2. How do I mark a movie as favorite?

You can add favorites either in one of the list views by swiping to the left, or in a detail view by tapping the star shaped favorite button in the upper right corner.

3. How do I remove a favorite?

You can remove favorites either in one of the list views by swiping to the left, or in a detail view by tapping the star shaped favorite button in the upper right corner.

4. I did set up my favorites, but the list on my Apple Watch is still empty or outdated. What's wrong?

In order to send the favorites-list from the iPhone to the watch there must be either a bluetooth connection (both devices have bluetooth enabled and are close-by) or a WIFI connection (both devices are in the same WIFI).

Then start both apps and give them a couple of seconds.

If that doesn't help, start both apps, perform a Force Touch (press firmly on the display) on your Apple Watch, and tap on "Refresh". The favorites will be sent from the phone to the watch.

Additionally, every change you make to the favorites-list will be sent directly to the watch - assuming there is a bluetooth or WIFI connection.

5. The little movie posters have disappeared from my watch!

This is a bug in version 1.0. Please update to version 1.0.1 as soon as it is available.
