APP is the first film made with the intentional inclusion of content on a second screen. The movie s free accompanying app, IRIS, that audiences are encouraged to download, is equipped with sonic technology that triggers additional content during the movie, enhancing the viewing experience in real-time as the plot unfolds. Anna, a student at the University of Amsterdam, lives with her best friend Sophie and balances psychology classes with supporting her brother and his recovery following a traumatic motorcycle accident. She s never far from her cellphone, and after a night of partying in the dorms, Anna wakes up groggy and hungover only to find that a new app has been inexplicably added to it. Initially helpful and clever, IRIS soon begins behaving mysteriously, answering personal questions it shouldn t know the answers to, and sending inappropriate images to her contacts. When it becomes clear she can t simply delete the unwanted evil app, Anna s efforts to confront it will set in motion a fearful series of events that will put her life, and that of her roommate and her fragile brother, in fatal danger. Bonus Features include Director Commentary and Special FX Featurette

Title: Your mobile phone "knows" your secrets!.
Review: Everyone has something they want to keep secret. Some part of their lives that they would not want others to know about. Whoever had knowledge of that secret and has the ability to reveal or to conceal it will have power over others. Gaining control over the mobile phone of a modern, socially-connected person could allow someone access to not only sensitive information, but also to use the device's microphone and camera to spy on that person. Your phone "knows" a lot about you. Be careful what you put in there, and make sure whatever you put there is not compromised by your apps. That is the premise of this thoroughly modern suspense thriller from the Netherlands.Anna (Hannah Hoekstra) is a college student who is majoring in psychology. She has a lot going on in her life. In addition to academic demands, she also has to cope with a crippled younger brother, Stijn. Anna has a close circle of friends and fellow students, who are all connected via their mobile devices. One day, Anna downloads an App called Iris. Iris claims itself to be a personal assistant A.I. At first, the artificial intelligence appears to be useful, responding to Anna's voice instructions. One day, Iris starts making decisions on its own and rings Anna's phone in the middle of class. Naturally, the professor confiscates the phone and asks Anna to stop by his office later to pick it up.In the next scene, we see two phones on the teacher's desk. One belonging to the teacher, the other to Anna. Iris activates, presumable using Bluetooth to connect to the other phone. Anna stops by and retrieves her phone. IRIS then proceeds to dig into the man's personal life and proceeds to destroy it.As the plot progresses, Iris starts taking media files from Anna's mobile and distributes them to her social connections. Private media files. The kind that could ruin another person's life if made public. And so the story escalates and our lovely heroine's life becomes a living nightmare. Anna races across the city, hoping to find the person responsible for the app before more of her friends become victims.Hannah Hoekstra is very, very beautiful. Tall, slender, and athletic. With a naturally beautiful face and blonde hair. And, oh those sexy eyebrows!. Her Anna is a slightly tomboyish, motorcycle-riding, spirited girl. She is very fun to watch. Hannah Hoekstra is the main reason why I rented this movie from Amazon. I plan to buy the DVD when it comes out later this year.The plot itself is not groundbreaking. I did not download and play with the IRIS app that is part of the movie. I know nothing about that little extra feature. Watch this movie primarily to see a fine performance from Ms. Hoekstra.UPDATE (JULY 23, 2014): I downloaded the IRIS app on a Motorola android mobile phone and watched the movie again. The IRIS app worked together with the movie playing on the television to provide additional content. From time to time, additional content will play on the mobile phone's display while the movie is playing. This could be a different camera angle on the same scene playing on TV, text messages being transmitted by the characters, news flash, and extra scenes. The "second screen" experience did not detract from the enjoyment of the film in any way. IRIS worked flawlessly, responding to inaudible audio signals coming from the movie to keep itself in sync with the movie. IRIS is completely optional. You can fully enjoy the movie without using the app. But if you have an android mobile or an iPhone, you owe it to yourself to try out the IRIS app and watch this movie. This is something new and we will probably see more apps like this as movie makers continually look for ways to make their films more of a complete experience. Mobile phones are now being steadily embraced in higher education, as lessons and course content are being created to integrate mobile devices in the classrooms. This is a paradigm shift in curriculum design and pedagogy. It is not a surprise that the movie industry has taken steps to do the same thing. Highly recommended.

Review: Movie is good for what it represents but the interactive part of it .. The U.S. app only works with the English audio if your English speaking and this does not have it had to stream it to get the full experience

Review: Definitely catch this one when it becomes available!!First movie written specifically for viewing with your phone or tablet at your side - makes for a really fun, immersive experience.Prior to watching the film, you download the free app (I grabbed a screenshot for you, below, as an example), and enjoy the ride :)In addition, the movie - aside from the novelty of the technology - is well acted, creepy, and will keep you engaged from start to finish.

Title: Deleting this APP
Review: I like to believe that I'm a fairly intelligent fellow. And I certainly don't need for every nuance and detail of a movie to be explained to me. Unfortunately, I required some explanations that "APP" failed to provide.*SPOILER ALERT*"APP" is the story of the download from hell. This application has the ability to predict the future, replay conversations from the past, blow up stores, control elevators, alter traffic lights, and stop heart monitors. I'm serious. Iris (the app) can stop heart monitors. Imbued with these special powers, Iris wrecks havoc on Anna's - the main character - life.At one point the antagonist mumbles something about the apps ability to 'analyze all probabilities.' I'm guessing that was his explanation for his application's unique gifts. Quite frankly, he didn't sound like he bought it and I didn't buy it either.Because I couldn't swallow the basic premise, it was hard for me to really enjoy "APP." Not to mention, the thrills aren't thrilling, none of the characters act with much urgency including Anna - her urgency peaks and wanes - and you can see Death coming a mile away.The one bright spot is that the movie employs this nifty second screen technology which was cool. Overall, though, APP is a weak storyline stretched far too thin. My suggestion? Delete this APP. It didn't work for Anna. But trust me, it will work for you.

Title: interesting and intertaining
Review: I found it interesting and intertaining. But I would like to hear some more of Hannah Hoekstra speaking Dutch. She makes Dutch sound so beautiful and sexy.

Review: A good movie with an original story. A good surprise and not an American movie (it changes !).The DVD is in VO or German version but there are only the German subtitles... I bought this movie for the Dutch VO AND the Dutch subtitles but there are no Dutch subtitles or English subtitles (only the German subtitles).

Review: Der Film ist der Hammer. Gut, er hat ein paar Fehler. So finde ich das der Anfang des Films nicht zum Ende passt. Dann fragt man sich warum Anna ihr Smartphone nicht einfach wegschmeiÃt ???Aber das Smartphone / Tablet durch eine App mit dem Film zu vereinen ist eine ziemlich geniale Idee. Leider wurde das aber zu wenig benutzt und man hat zu wenig auf dem Smartphone / Tablet gesehen.Aber ich bin mir sicher das diese Art des interaktiven Films nun weiter aufgegriffen wird.Noch ist der Film Sience Fiction, aber wie lange noch ??? Für viele Menschen ist ein Leben ohne Smartphone nicht mehr denkbar und alle haben ständig W-Lan und Bluetooth eingeschaltet. Dazu kommt die "Dummheit" der Menschen und Nachrichten oder Downloads werden gerne angenommen .....Kauft euch den Film.Schaut ihn euch an.Und geht dann raus und redet einfach wieder mit euren Nachbarn am Gartenzaun oder mit den Freunden in der Kneipe !!!!

Review: Ein sehr gut gemachter "Computer Virus Kills People" Action Film mit "Lara Croft(NL)"!Zehn Sterne für die Botschaft!:- Das passiert längst alles wirklich (Snowden hat noch viel mehr zu erzählen)!- Solche "Viren" werden nicht nur übertragen, weil man auf die falsche email klickt, sondern z.B. per BT, einfach, weil zwei Handys nebeneinander liegen. Keiner weiÃ, was da alles passiert!- "Ich habe Deinen Schrittmacher gehackt: Wenn Du nicht zahlst, jage ich Deinen Puls hoch.". PaÃwörter, die in der Notaufnahme von Krankenhäusern am Monitor kleben, machen das noch extra einfach. Selbst gesehen.Die "second screen"-Technik mit App macht Spaà und funktioniert. Da ist aber noch mehr drin. 😉

Review: As a Dutch person, I am pleasantly surprised by the quality of the movie. It is professional and the story is sufficiently captivating, although nothing out of the ordinary. Hannah Hoekstra is playing well. The extra screen on my iPhone using the App is what this movie really makes watching it worthwhile, because of the novel experience. That is also why I give it the extra star.
