not a free app + potential undisclosed ads
all of the ads (undisclosed btw) for this app claim that this is a great letterboxed alternative as it’s so much better because you can send DMs. maybe it is a better app than letterboxd… i will never know because as soon as i tried to give it a try and make an account, i was prompted to start a free trial that would auto renew for $30 a month. mind u, this app is marketed as basically just a movie recommendation (ai?) machine. you can also rank movies in tier lists and “connect with other movie lovers”.
lettterboxd is free. there is an option to pay through patreon for no ads and other premium features but the app is completely usable and enjoyable without a subscription. this app feels like a cash grab rather than and genuine attempt to cater towards and create an app that film and tv lovers have wanted for a long time.
i wanted to genuine give this app a try, however, i will not waste my time or money on an app that pretty much already exists and has a way bigger community. letterboxd definitely isn’t perfect (that’s why i wanted to try this app in the first place after hearing about it in undisclosed ads on instagram!) but at least it’s not shady.

Meh
This all sucks. TikTok was promoting this like it was letterboxd. Its not. No social activity. Lame. Don’t download
Needs More
I’m very new to the app so probably have found everything out quite yet but one thing I’d love is a profile picture to add. Very basic app for movie fans to recommend movies/shows and see others tier listings.
There’s a paywall
Don’t trust any of the reviews or the people recommending this there’s no free option. Stick to letterboxd
Honest review
-Movie ratings are skewed, likely due to the small amount of users.
-Recommendations are ok
-The tier list is more enjoyable to rate than the star rating system
-UI is not but could use improvements
-Feature missing: I’m not interested in a film so it does not get recommended
-Feature missing: Need an easy way to import my movies and ratings
-Feature missing: Need some more stats on my watched movies other than just tier.
I think this app has potential, but I won’t be paying to use it.
