Essential for Cinephiles, but Filmmakers as Well

I can look to Letterboxd to see my own trajectory as a filmmaker from the beginning to the present, and that is invaluable in and of itself; having said that, Letterboxd has become a large part of my research at this stage of my education, allowing me to chart a direction in which I find the films that speak to my sensibilities the most and recall with clarity the films that guided my influences throughout cinematic history. Are the reviews always accurate? No, I'd suggest even my own come from a place of personal taste, and most of them can be attributed to people whose narcissism often overpowers their appreciation for the difficulties of filmmaking, whether it appeals to them or not, or they simply describe superficial attachments rather than informative. Nonetheless, pay attention to films in the 3+ range and you will likely be rewarded with a vast catalog of titles to enrich your cinematic tastes.

I love this app so much

I cannot sing the praises of this app enough! I love it so much and it came at a great time in my life because just as I found myself getting more and more invested in film and whatnot a friend of mine introduced me to it. I’m a big fan of the idea of being able to write reviews as well as rate movies and denote whether or not you liked them. The app/website as a whole is a great experience and I wish more of my friends would get it. The only thing I would suggest is that you guys implement an ability to turn on notifications for when certain accounts have certain interactions. For instance, I would like to be able to turn on notifications on my friend’s account so I can know when she writes a review, adds a movie to her watch list, has just seen a movie, or even just rated it. If you guys could add this feature I think it’d go a long way and people would like doing that with some of the more notable users on the app or even just their followers/following. Beyond that though, like I said I absolutely love the app and have next to no complaints about it!

Bug on “Watched films” list.

Before I even installed the newest update, I had this weird bug where I couldn’t scroll through my watched films past like, 2008. The app just literally wouldn’t let me scroll past that point. Granted, I have over 800 films logged, but this has never been a problem before. I feel like it has something to do with the ads that now are inserted every few rows of films. And I thought that updating the app would maybe do something about this, but it did not fix a thing. Would be great to have this fixed, and take away this blemish on an app that otherwise needs no improvements. An unrelated note, but it would also be nice to be able to marked films not previously marked as “liked” on the desktop version. Right now you have to mark a not previously liked movie as liked on the app for it to show up that way on the desktop version.

Nearly Perfect

Definitely along my favorite apps I have — so much so that I even pay for the PRO membership. I love the sense of community between myself and the other like-minded horror fanatics I’ve found myself being friends with on the app. My only gripe(s) are: the inability to share my profile/reviews on my Instagram story. Sure, I can show my rating, but there’s still no way for Instagram users to click on said rating and instantly find my profile for an easy follow or read-through. I also wish there was a “based on your interests” feature where movies can be suggested to me based on my ratings and likings. I’ve seen both of my desired features on dozens of other apps so it’s strange that Letterboxd is so behind. Still, there is not a single day where I don’t open this app and find joy in reading reviews and opinions of others on movies I hold near and dear to my heart. It’s a fantastic app and I plan on being a loyal Letterboxd member for a very long time!

Needs a specific update

I would give this app 5 stars but there is one thing it’s missing and making me not want to use it. It also has to do with stars. I like that you can rate 0 to 5 stars with half a star being an option, but it needs to go further to allow for more accurately rating a movie. If we could rate them to the accuracy of .1 instead of .5 then that would make it so much better. It would more accurately show the differences between rankings. For example I would give Alien a 4.5, but I like The Thing better and would rank it at 4.6. However I can’t do that now so I have to choose between ranking it the same as Alien at 4.5 implying I like them the same or rank it at a 5 implying I think it’s a perfect movie (which I do not). All this being said it’s a great app… I just don’t use it due to the inaccuracy of the rating. Please update this and I will review the app again at 5 stars and recommend it to all my friends.

Great app but a few big problems

I love this app, it’s an amazing way to connect with friends, discover new movies, share your opinions on films and meet other film lovers. However there’s a big problem (at least on the website, it might happen in the app too): if you write a review, you can’t save it and finish it later. If you close it, then it’ll show up in your reviews but you can’t edit it. Actually sometimes you can but sometimes you can’t, it doesn’t really make sense but it’s really annoying when you’ve been writing a really good review and it just gets lost. That’s another thing: if you want to go back and edit your review, there’s sometimes not an edit option and there’s just “write a review” so you click that and it just starts you with a new review. It’s really confusing so please fix it, thanks

An app I use constantly that needs a bit of work

The logging and reviewing aspects of the app are great, it lets you keep track of things you’ve watched, want to watch, have rewatched and of course, the reviews and diary entries. It’s a very fleshed out site on that side of the things but it’s also advertised as “ the social app for film lovers” and is severely lacking on the social front. You can add other users and like and comment on their reviews but you can’t tag anyone specifically to keep a conversation going under popular reviews, it’ll just get lost in a sea of replies because you can’t directly tag someone. Another issue that isn’t ant fault of the app itself is the popular community reviews, so this is more of just a warning, but the popular reviews are mostly joke/meme reviews so you’ll have to do a little more digging to find proper reviews that are longer than a sentence or two, whereas on IMDB you’ll see most reviews taking them seriously. I don’t mind those kinds of silly fun “reviews” but they do dominate the app quite a bit.

Unexpectedly Amazing

I try to limit my iOS screen time to 1.5 hours a day, but downloading this app a few days ago has ruined that. This app is so much more than just a place to rate movies. I’ve really been enjoying the Lists feature, both creating my own and browsing others. Every night, my family has had struggles finding a movie that we’ll all like. The criteria we need to meet is both 1. No sex scenes and 2. Not overly highbrow. I can never think of anything because 90% of the movies I watch fail one or both of the criteria, so we usually just end up watching kids’ movies. Letterboxd has changed that because other people have already created ‘Movies to Watch With Your Parents’ lists! It has come in handy when I’m on my own too. I’ve added a ton of movies to my Watchlist and now never draw a blank when pondering what to watch next. This was truly the app I didn’t know I needed

More sorting and customization please.

I would really like to see an option to sort by region, or to customize the app to only show certain regions, or countries of release. Sifting thru so many films that I will NEVER be interested in is beyond frustrating. Sorting by release date is nice, but honestly, I almost don’t want to bother with this app sometimes because of the lack of this one feature. I also don’t understand why the newest releases don’t show up when I first open the app. I sometimes have to go searching for a movie that literally opened the day I saw it. This doesn’t make any sense. Instead, upon opening the app, the “popular” tab shows up and gives me movies that opened months ago because I guess people are still talking about them. That’s great, but when I open the app, I would like to see what just came out. I will NEVER go pro with this app until I can customize it so that I don’t have to wade thru so much detritus to get to what I want. In other words, I would like the option to see regional new releases show up for me first. I don’t think that’s too much to ask since you can sort all kinds of other info. I am glad that all these movies are available. It’s just that they are superfluous to me and makes this app more cumbersome than it could be.

THE Film Companion

This app is incredible. If you’re a casual film fan or a dedicated film buff, everyone can find something to love about this app/service. The app itself is clean, modern, and easy to use. I continue to recommend it to all my family and friends who love discussing movies that they should get on the app. You get to search for movies, log when you’ve seen them, review them, and see what your friends or family have seen. In fact, a few times, my Letterboxd reviews are used against me when we have in-person discussions. All in good fun though.My favorite feature is the Film Diary. I started using this app around the time I got MoviePass (RIP, not really) and AMC A-List. It gave me a way to keep track of the movies I saw without relying on ticket stubs. It allowed me to easily tag the movies with things like where I saw them, what type of theater (Dolby, IMAX, etc...), and what chain. Another great thing about it is the ease and portability. I used to always want to review movies, but after driving or commuting home, I would forget some of what I wanted to say. Not a problem with the app as I can sit down for a few minutes after the movies over and jot down my thoughts.One thing I would like to see, though I understand why they haven’t implemented, is the ability to review TV Shows. I understand it would be hard because of the fact that it’s hard to review a show with multiple episodes since each episode may be of different quality. But maybe someday.
