The Best Film/TV App

The exact kind of app I’ve been looking for

ditch letterboxd

i like this app much better than letterboxd. the UI is stronger and i love the ranking system. getting all the homies on here asap

Good alternative to letterboxd

Really like the rating system and how different it is to letterboxd, while still allowing you to import from letterboxd. Would really appreciate a dark mode, it hurts my eyes

beli may sue you

this interface is a crazy rip off

Just the app I wanted

In a perfect world, this becomes more popular than letterbox’d.
I love this app and its rating system. It encourages you to rate movies and shows based more on how you like it than how everyone else views it. My only critique is that it’s a bit 🤏 lackluster, but once there’s more features, I can see it easily surpassing letterbox’d.
