More options for TV shows

I love this app, but it woukd be even better with more tv show options. While some series are available to rate and review, it would be nice to get to have a top 5 tv section seperate from top five films.

Sorry

So I just spent the last 20 minutes mourning my beautifully crafted review cus I thought it didn’t save since it wasn’t there when I opened the app, but, alas, it has saved. All is well once again and I apologize for the emotion-driven review I had just left 15 minutes ago or so. I am a changed person again and no longer sad from grief. Thank you.

ads 🍅🍅🍅

i’ve genuinely loved this app/website for years but the ads are just getting absolutely ridiculous and ruining the experience. as if the mini ads blocking a third of your screen weren’t bad enough, now we have fullscreen ads that are the very first thing you see upon opening the app????? and some of them have countdown timers??? so insanely greedy to keep tacking on more and more ads until they fill every frame of the screen to users who can’t/shouldn’t shill out exorbitant amounts of money for your membership options. BOO 🍅🍅🍅

Constructive Criticism

Letterboxd is great for movies but the User Interface could use some work because jts not intuitive to use and navigate right now. Would also be great if TV shows could also be included in the app.

so buggy

never loads

Elite, for now

This app is one of the most amazing available for cinephiles and casual moviegoers alike. Many other reviews highlight its wonderful features. I’m writing this review to join those who oppose the sale of this app. It is perfect as it is. Do not allow prospective buyers to get their hands on it and ruin it, as they inevitably always do with every other app they buy.

No api access

Love the app but I want to build things with my data and locking things behind private APIs is lame and requires constant manual exports. I pay you money but that’s not enough? TMDB, Trakt, SIMKL all allow this

Horrible streamline

Finding “your films” should be almost immediate. There are so many tabs to click and navigate. I could go on and on, but it’s just not very well streamlined.

Stop pausing my music 😭

Every time I open this app it pauses my music. Which is a little thing but happens every time I open the app, which isn’t even playing audio. Why??

Where is the watched list go?

Before I could check though my watched, I don’t often leave reviews but I liked being able to look through the watched cause I have a bad memory

Love the app but not the bugs

The new video store function is really cool but not when it disconnects 3/4ths into a film, logs you out, and then won’t resume from your last place after you’re forced to reset your password

Suggestion

Can you allow us to follow directors and such? And interact with more of their data, review them etc

Ios Widgets?

Currently the only way to clear your recent searches is by swiping left individually. Please can we get a “Clear All” option!

I would also love to see some sort of iOS widget. This app has great potential, but I do feel like it lacks a modern look and feel to it.

David Blaine Fingerjitsu

Loving the neat new feature where swiping over or exhaling across an ad is perceived as an invitation to open a pop up to some corporation I never would willingly buy a product from. Really taking a page out of the book of bootleg lite games and Pinterest.
Yet another app added to the subconscious fingerjitsu list, where I’ll master the skill of avoiding clicking ads with David Blaine level slight-of-hand tricks.

A review on the filters of reviews

Hi. I recently watched fantastic mr fox and wanted to read the reviews on letterboxd. In particular I was interested in the bad reviews. I myself thought it was a good film, however I wanted to see why some people may have been critical about the film. I know on Letterboxd you can filter from zero star to 5 star reviews, however when looking through the 0 star reviews, the majority are short comments on the film. I believe you should add a filter where you can only see long reviews, or something where you can see newspaper reviews. A ‘500 or over word review’ filter (or something similar) could fix this problem. I do want to read bad reviews where people are being thoughtful and critical, but they are hard to find as they are hidden in a sea of small nasty comments. I don’t want to sit and scroll through pages beyond pages to find those reviews, it’s tiring on the thumbs and the mind. It’s funny because I’d read a 8 minute long review but I wouldn’t spend a minute or two finding it - 2026 problems I guess. Also some comments were not in English.

Black screen upon opening. Issue with new update?

Might be an issue with a new update, but the app just shows a black screen when opening now on iOS 27
