### 5/5 — Nice and Smooth

*2024-04-30*

Very polished and responsive. Would love to see a micro-review/micro-diary feature in a future version.

Addendum: Sadly, it doesn’t recognize any Japanese movies (with neither their Japanese nor English titles), which makes up around half of my movie diet. So, it’s not for me, after all. Still, nice app!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. I will see what I can do to make this work 👌

UPDATE: With the recent release of version 1.7 you can now share a movie straight from IMDb. Enjoy 🎉
