Fixed a crash when sorting a watchlist by year as well as some minor bug fixes.

### 3.0 — 2020-10-31

Three years since the last update so this is probably a little overdue. The app is almost completely rewritten with better architecture that will allow me to more easily make changes in the future.

Biggest changes:
- Syncing across your devices via iCloud
- Support for the form factor of iPhone X and newer
- Tons of bug fixes

### 2.0.3 — 2016-10-28

New: Added "Peek & Pop" to show posters for those with 3D Touch. (Try to press with force on a movie in your list)
New: Added back automatic search to the search screen when the user types

Also some minor bugfixes

### 2.0.2 — 2016-10-18

- Fixed an issue where the movie data would not load if the user has a lot of movies in their list. If you have a lot of movies that don't have data it might take a while for all movies to update.
- Images are cached on the device for quicker loading times
- Minor bugfixes

Thank you for all feedback and bug reports
