Prefer the older version

Older version of this app was much better and 5*. Now it’s barely a 2*.
I’d like to be able to open the app and the movies I’ve watched are right there on my screen, ready for me to add more. A simple app to log the films I have watched as the name suggests. In the past that’s how it was. The option to change something as simple as that is now behind a paywall. Greed at its finest on show right there. Very disappointed.

Hi Shadowxlb, I am sorry to hear that you are not happy with the latest updates. I have decided to move forward and add new features to the app. I don't know how much my work and time is worth to you, but 10 years of updates is hard to find in the AppStore these days. I'm looking forward to the next ten years and hope you're on board.

One time purchase option is nice

Been using filmlog for a minute now, and I did get a bit worried when I thought I needed to use a subscription for the features again, but all I had to do was hit restore purchase. Apologies for the confusion, keep up the good work!

Hi bike5262, thank you for the review update. Previous reply below: Sorry for the inconvenience. If you bought Filmlog Plus previously just restore your purchase and you should be ready to go. For support please mail to support@simonbraun.eu Subscriptions are an additional option to support my work. Filmlog is updated now for more than ten years and I need a steady income to make it twenty.

Monetization issues

I’ve been using Filmlog since almost late 2021, so it made me really sad to see that when I went to log a movie today, that all the features I’d been using for the past 3 years suddenly got put behind a paywall. Monetizing previously existing features rather than adding any new ones is a really lame business practice, because it just punishes anyone that was used to how things was by making them need to pay for a subscription service (really?) to have those same features. Really disappointed, especially since i used to recommend this to friends :(

Slick and great

Lots of utility, without having to purchase a subscription, and even more with it. Love it!

Just what I was looking for!

A brilliant app that allows me to simply, and cleanly, log and review all my watched films. It also lets me watch my favourite actors and will show me their upcoming projects that I might be interested in!

Definitely recommend to all film lovers :)

Lacking important from Trakt

Most tracking apps today are based on Trakt. This app is independent however in order to migrate I would have to enter hundreds of movies and tv shows manually which is absurd. Not useful for me. Deleted.

Response from developer

Hi Great Phoenix, sorry to hear that your missing a feature. Because Filmlog doesn't require any account, there is also no Trakt support. Many great alternatives supporting Trakt are out there, hope you found one.

Clean & Simple - wish I could tag though

I’m loving the simplicity of this app. It’s exactly what I’m looking for — a way to journal my thoughts about a movie in a space that is not a social networking app.

One feature I wish was available is the ability to tag/label for easier sorting/filtering of my list. I’m noticing as my saved films list gets bigger, it’s becoming unruly to sift through. I would love to be able to tag my films with keywords of my choosing for specific searching later on. E.g. I can’t just search my saved films for “horror.” I have to scroll through all my saved films (thats ordered by date saved) and hope I run into a horror movie.

A lot to like but not quite there yet

First disappointment was no iPad version and even worse no sharing of watched/too watch lists between devices.

The app itself is easy to use but just needs a little bit more functionality to rate films, a simple star rating or even a like/dislike, certainly more that the simple heart like or nothing.

I’ll keep a watch out and hope for some upgrades….
