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.
