User Reviews

Kernel's UI is praised for beauty and ease of tracking with playlists, and its AI-powered search is a plus. However, users consistently report cross-device sync and watch issues, annoying or non-functional notifications, and a lack of ratings. They also want easier management of upcoming/default playlists and lament the removal of chronological/discovery features after the latest redesign, fearing reduced ongoing support.
Pros
  • Gorgeous, minimalist UI/design with a smooth user experience
  • Strong playlist-based tracking for organizing what to watch
  • AI-powered search for describing and finding titles
  • Clear categorization and easy organization within the app
Cons
  • Cross-device syncing issues (iPhone vs iPad) and watch/app-specific sync problems
  • Persistent or non-working push notification prompts at launch
  • Missing rating/review feature for movies and shows
  • Difficulty deleting items from upcoming or default playlists
  • Recent redesign removed chronological/discovery features, fueling concerns about ongoing updates

The app is helpful but the fact that it pops up a dialog complaining that you don’t have notifications enabled every. single. time you open it is so irritating. I don’t want notifications

I love this app, and am a long-time user. I still use it all the time. I can search for movies just by describing them with the AI powered search tool. I track all the movies and tv shows I want to watch, and list them in different categories. The one feature that would make the app so much more useful would be if data could be synced across different IOS devices logged into the same Kernel account! It’s very frustrating that I have different sets of lists saved on my iPhone and iPad….
