Developer Info
Our mission is to bring the world of independent film to broader audiences everywhere we can: a global digital theater showcasing the movies themselves, as well as the information and extras that enriches and provides context – from film reviews and festival coverage to interviews and opinion pieces. We are a new kind of media company – one that selects the best films and related content so you don’t have to wade through all that clutter; that makes it easy for you to enjoy now, to return later and to share it all with your friends; and that takes it to the next level – not just talking about making the world a better place, but actually doing it … and giving you all sorts of choices for you to make an impact personally. We measure ourselves on a double-bottom-line: we want to continue the growth in the number of films we distribute and the views of those films as well the revenues we make for filmmakers (and our company) -- and we want to empower individuals and communities to make a difference.

this does not work properly on the kindle fire, it closes when you try to watch a movie, sometimes it possible to see a few minutes but it is rare. I hope the bugs are fixed soon as I love the possibilities!

2.0 out of 5 stars Freezes repeatedly November 15, 2012

I downloaded this for my Kindle Fire with high hopes. Sadly the films keep freezing and sometimes need to be restarted completely. I will give it a little more time but will probably remove it eventually.

2.0 out of 5 stars Buggy February 3, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
Wonderful concept but the app is horrible. It kept crashing even after deleting then downloading again. You're better off just going to the actual website on your computer to watch the movies.

1.0 out of 5 stars Kindle fire 8.9 users need not apply ... April 27, 2013
Amazon Verified Purchase
I use Snagfilms on my Windows 8 PC as an app, and it's great!
I figured I'd add the app to my Kindle Fire 8.9 so I could use it o that device too.
Wrong ... The app opens, and it starts to play - but promptly locks up.
only restarting the Kindle will clear the error. If you have the 8.9, this just don't work. I find it disappointing. This is the first app that does not work on my Kindle Fire I have got from Amazon. :(
HOPEFULLY, it will be fixed in the future ...

Very limited in what you can view. Not worth taking up space on your device. Would not recommend this app.
