iPhone app
Believe it or not, IMDB used to be decent. Nowadays, you need good luck to wade through all the clutter to find the information you are actually looking for.
Enter Callsheet, a breath of fresh air in the world of movie and TV show databases. Developed by indie app developer Casey Liss, this app is designed with the user in mind, offering a sleek, modern interface that cuts through the noise to deliver the information you're actually looking for.
What is the Callsheet app?
Callsheet is a film database app for those with an eye for elegance and simplicity. From detailed cast lists to fascinating trivia, everything you want to know about your favorite films and series is just a tap away, without the frustration of navigating through ads or unnecessary prompts.

Customization and personalization
Callsheet isn't just about looking better; it's about functioning better. It leverages The Movie Database to bring you comprehensive and accurate data but with several clever enhancements over IMDb. You can personalize the app with a customizable "quick access" button for your favorite resources, toggle on and off information to avoid spoilers, and even see where to stream your picks across countries, thanks to integration with JustWatch.

The app also respects your viewing habits and preferences. Whether you want to pin your current watches for quick access or adjust settings to hide potential spoilers, Callsheet has thought of it all.
Callsheet pricing and subscription features
The app's attention to detail extends to its subscription model. Callsheet is ad-free and powered by reasonably priced user subscriptions.
You can purchase an annual or monthly subscription:
- Annual pricing: $10/year
- Monthly pricing: $1/month
For those generous users who wish to support the app further, you can purchase a "Max Supporter" or "Ultra Supporter" annual subscription for either $25 or $70, respectively. You will not get any extra perks—just the satisfaction of helping an independent app developer.
Why I recommend Callsheet
In a sea of movie and TV databases that prioritize ads over user experience, Callsheet stands out as a meticulously designed haven for cinephiles and TV aficionados alike. It's a testament to Liss's commitment to providing a superior, user-centric alternative.
So, if you're fed up with the current state of IMDb and looking for a cleaner, more personalized way to explore and discover movies and TV shows, Callsheet is the app you've been waiting for.
