2026.9 | Reel Savings

What's New:

Mid and post credit scene support. Now Playing, Live Activities, and Upcoming movies now show a badge indicating whether a movie has a mid credits scene, a post credits scene, or both. It also shows when a movie is confirmed to have none, or when it is still unknown.
Ability to duplicate a movie. Inspired by me buying way too many 70mm IMAX Odyssey tickets.
Long press a movie, auditorium, or theater row to pull up a context menu with several actions, including the duplicate option above.

Enhancements:

Support emails can now include an optional snapshot of your current settings and permissions, which makes diagnosing issues much quicker.
Restore now checks whether your local data is current with iCloud before proceeding. If there is a mismatch you will be warned and given suggestions on how to proceed. This helps minimize duplicated data.
New analog film format selector in the auditorium editor, for a cleaner experience.
When you select an analog film format for a movie, the audio selector is removed and the entry is saved as standard audio. This avoids entries like 70mm/Atmos. Even in an Atmos or other premium audio auditorium, analog film plays in standard audio. The app corrects previous entries on first launch.
When creating a theater, the chain no longer defaults to Other. If the name does not tell us the chain, you will be asked to pick one.
Auditoriums can now be assigned a custom aspect ratio, or derive one from height and width measurements, for screens that do not match a standard shape.
When linking a theater to a physical location, some specialty venues (a theater inside a museum, for example) would not appear, because the search only returned places tagged as movie theaters. A new toggle lets you search more broadly.
Renamed LED projection to Onyx LED.
An auditorium with no history but some upcoming movies now opens with its Upcoming list already expanded.
Movie rows now offer the same set of actions everywhere they appear, and most are available before the showtime rather than only after.
You can now delete a theater from the Screens tab or from the theater editor.
Cleaned up the Now Playing settings. The app's own switches could disagree with the system's, which was confusing. Live Activities are now controlled entirely in iOS Settings.

Bug Fixes:

Restoring a backup now updates your widgets, Live Activities, calendar, and Spotlight results right away, instead of waiting until you next edit a movie.
Restoring a backup now keeps your Manage Formats choices. Formats you had switched off could come back on.
Start Before Showtime now syncs between your devices. Setting it on one device left the others unchanged, with nothing on screen to say they disagreed.
Live Activities no longer switch themselves off after restoring a backup or moving to a new device.
The empty state text on a screen with no history no longer sits on top of the Upcoming rows.
Some work, such as syncing settings or creating and updating calendar events, could be delayed if the app was backgrounded right after a change. These now finish before the app suspends.
On the movie detail sheet, a long list of format specs could get cut off. It now wraps to multiple lines as needed.
Info bubbles now open above or below, whichever has room for the full contents. Previously they could cut off information when space was tight.
Fixed an issue with Live Activities on Apple Watch where the auditorium or seat could span over two lines.
