## What is Pickpile?

Claim one of the first 100 supporter badges for your profile now!
You see a film in a TikTok or an Instagram reel, think “I’ll watch that”, and forget it by the next video. Pickpile fixes that in one tap.

Hit share on the post, pick Pickpile, and the app reads the caption, watches the clip, works out which film or series it is, and saves it with the poster, rating, runtime and where to stream it. No typing. No searching. No screenshots folder you’ll never open again.

SAVE FROM ANYWHERE
• Share any TikTok or Instagram post straight into Pickpile from the iOS share sheet
• Recognition reads the caption first, then on-screen text, then the comments, so it gets the title right even when the post never spells it out
• Not sure it guessed right? Pick from the matches yourself
• Or search TMDb and add anything by hand

A WATCHLIST YOU ACTUALLY USE
• Filter by films, series, watched or unwatched, and by genre
• Sort by date added, year, rating or title, in a list or a poster grid
• Mark things watched, rate them out of five, keep the link back to the reel
• “Currently watching” keeps the series you’re mid-way through at the top
• Where to watch shows your streaming services first, plus an “In cinemas” badge for what’s still on the big screen

COMING FROM LETTERBOXD OR IMDB
Years of films logged somewhere else? Export from Letterboxd, IMDb or Simkl and pick the file here. Watchlist, ratings, written reviews and lists all come across — lists become collections, half stars stay half stars. It ends on an honest report of what came over and what couldn’t. Run it again any time; nothing gets duplicated.

SERIES THAT KEEP UP WITH YOU
• Season and episode tracking with a per-season progress count
• Next episode dates, weekly air days, renewals and finales
• Optional evening reminders when a series you follow airs tonight

COLLECTIONS
• Sort your titles into date-night picks, a horror marathon, best of the year
• Choose the cover, reorder by hand, file straight from the share sheet
• Keep them private or show them to friends on your profile

EXPLORE
• A feed built from what you save, plus what your friends save and rate
• Full-screen trailers with proper transport controls, autoplay you can limit to Wi-Fi
• Every card says why it’s there: because you liked something, a friend rated it, trending now

FRIENDS, NOT FOLLOWERS
• Add friends by handle, invite link or from your contacts
• Rate a film and your take lands on their feed, where they can like it and comment
• Browse a friend’s watchlist and pull anything into yours
• Direct messages and group chats, with films and takes attached to them
• No public profiles, no public feed. Your reviews go to people you accepted, and nobody else

MATCH NIGHT
• Start a round, share the six-digit code, and everyone swipes the same deck
• Filter the deck to films, series or a set of genres before you start
• Watch the trailer on the card while you decide
• Everyone swipes right on the same title? That’s tonight’s pick
• One phone works too: pass it around the room

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.3 — 2026-09-26

Home Screen widgets, your film year in numbers, and the whole app now follows your text size.

• New: widgets in every size. Your watchlist, what to watch next, and trailers straight on your Home Screen
• New: Wrapped. Your film year as a recap you can share
• Every screen now follows the text size from iOS Settings, right up through the large accessibility steps
• New: a public ideas board. Suggest what you want and vote on other people's ideas
• Friends: the tab counts pending requests, requests are tappable, and messages can be marked all read at once
• Trailers: rating no longer throws you out of the card, 2x speed releases properly again, and "Already seen" rates a title on the spot
• Watchlist: the title and the filter now share one row instead of an empty navigation bar
• Match Night: code entry moved inside Match Night, invites sit behind the plus button
• Pickpile now asks once whether it may send usage data. Nothing is collected without your yes, and you can change your mind in Settings at any time
• Fixed: the 20:15 reminder arrived twice
• Fixed: the friends feed now updates the moment a friendship changes

### 2.2 — 2026-09-21

Pickpile now speaks nine languages.

Every screen, every notification and every permission prompt is now available in English, German, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), French, Russian, Italian, Dutch and Turkish. The app follows your iPhone's language on its own — there is nothing to set.

• Synopses, genres and cast come through in your language too, falling back to English where a title has no translation
• Push notifications arrive in the language you read the app in, not the one your phone happens to be set to
• Comment notifications were always English, whatever your settings said. Fixed
• The streaming country list is named in your language
• The filter for abusive comments and reviews now covers all nine languages

### 2.1.1 — 2026-08-21

Bug fixes and improvements.

### 2.0 — 2026-08-18

Version 2.0 is the biggest update since launch: films you swipe over together, collections, a feed worth scrolling, and recognition that finally reads the whole post.

MATCH NIGHT
Pick tonight’s film with the people on the couch. Start a round, share the six-digit code, and everyone swipes the same deck. Filter it to films, series or a handful of genres first, play the trailer on the card, and when everyone swipes right on the same title, that’s the pick. Only one phone in the room? Pass it around; any number of players works.

COLLECTIONS
Group your saved titles into date-night picks, a horror marathon, best of the year. Choose the cover, reorder by hand, and file a title straight from the share sheet as it arrives. Keep a collection private or let friends see it on your profile. Collections sync across your devices.

EXPLORE
A new tab that learns from what you save. Full-screen trailers with play, scrub, 10-second skips and a mute you control, autoplay you can limit to Wi-Fi, and a line on every card telling you why it showed up: because you liked something, because a friend rated it, because it’s trending. Long-press to file it, swipe to move on.

BETTER RECOGNITION
Pickpile now watches the video on every post it receives instead of only when the cover frame comes up empty, and it ranks what it finds: caption first, then on-screen text, then the comments. Reels that never name the film in the caption now land in your watchlist anyway.

MESSAGES
Direct messages and group chats of up to 32 friends. Attach a film from your watchlist, send a take, or drop a Match Night invite into the chat.

PROFILE
Settings moved into a real profile: your handle, photo and bio, your reviews, your library stats, your collections, and what you’re currently watching.

SERIES
Season selector, per-season watched counts, next-episode dates and renewal status, plus an optional evening reminder when a series you follow airs tonight.

ALSO NEW
• “In cinemas” badge for titles still on the big screen
• Save and unsave from anywhere in Explore and search, with an undo
• Search for people from the same search bar
• Links now use pickpile.app, so film links you share show a proper preview

FIXES
• Match Night rounds create and submit reliably; genre filters show what you picked
• Your own collections and library stats show up on your profile again
• Discarded a title by mistake? “Save it after all” puts it straight back

AND MORE!

### 1.1 — 2026-06-22

• Pickpile now speaks German — set your device to German and the whole app, including the share sheet, follows.
• New, more native home screen with a large title that cleanly scrolls away.
• Polished design and smoother navigation throughout, with extra shine on iOS 26.
• Minor fixes and improvements.
