### 5/5 — A lovely app!

*2026-07-14, version 2023.4*

I’m so glad to have learned about this app as a way to keep track of shows that I’ve seen. It’s very easy to use, and I appreciate being able to add both reviews and private notes as well as my own tags.

My only minor complaint is that I wish you could choose to show the dates in your diary by default even if you’ve added a rating. I’ve stopped adding ratings so I can see the dates at a glance, but I’d love to be able to do both.

### 3/5 — Recommendations for the app.

*2026-04-15, version 2023.4*

I love the app as it gives me a overview of my past musical shows. I would think it would be cool if a junior option could be added, as well as one for tours, as it only lets you do stationary show. Love the app though.

### 4/5 — Excellent with a but….

*2026-04-06, version 2023.4*

Excellent app but why does it not recognize the classical music performances, opera, NY Philharmonic etc that are as big in NY as Broadway, if not bigger.

### 5/5 — Letterboxd for Musicals!!

*2026-03-29, version 2023.4*

This app is amazing! I’ve been looking for a way to log my shows I go see with pictures, thoughts, ratings and keeping a record of it all. It’s an amazing app and I wish more people knew about it!

### 5/5 — Letterboxd for Broadway

*2026-02-08, version 2023.4*

Was looking for a Letterboxd for Broadway and voila! Thanks Ben!

### 4/5 — Perfectly fine app, deeply tasteless userbase

*2026-02-01, version 2023.4*

The app works fine and is barebones and functional, I legitimately love that people can’t dm me or respond to my reviews. That is especially great because the userbase writ large, at least for Broadway shows, are tasteless, undiscerning musical-fandom yokels who rank everything five stars if it has a celebrity they recognize or have a crush on from tiktok, a soundtrack they liked as a preteen, or a cast who feeds their parasocial obsessions by doing stagedoor, and who regularly trash anything that is dramatic, not a musical, challenging, or remotely complex. Bad for recommendations for good theater, great place to keep track of what you’ve seen and figure out your own tastes.

### 5/5 — Brilliant, Letterboxd for Theater

*2026-01-28, version 2023.4*

Love this app. Great UI and fun to explore daily

### 3/5 — No operas

*2026-01-07, version 2023.4*

I like it i would like to rate operas as well

### 5/5 — Love!

*2026-01-06, version 2023.4*

I love this app! I love being to see all the shows I’ve seen at a glance and I love reading other peoples reviews

### 5/5 — All rounder

*2025-11-27, version 2023.4*

It’s so hard to stay in engaged sometimes with theatre. But this is an excellent app.
