### 5/5 — Anti-algorithm, I love it!

*2026-01-11*

Spectra has completely changed my viewing habits. I’m finding classic films and unique picks I’ve somehow missed for years, and it’s made choosing what to watch feel fun again. It feels human, not algorithmic. Love it.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.0.6 — 2026-09-02

Fixes a bug that could stop reviews and other changes from syncing. Anything already queued sends automatically on first launch.

### 2.0.5 — 2026-08-31

Fixes include:
- Sharing a review card to Instagram now works seamlessly — your card lands
    straight in the composer, with the link copied and ready to paste
  - iPad: action menus open properly again, and review grids show the right
    column options for your screen
  - Tapping the search tab now puts the cursor straight in the search field
  - Fixed a bug where picking "Other" as your watch service could close your
    review mid-write

### 2.0.4 — 2026-08-26

A series of bug fixes related to loading filmographies for cast members.

### 2.0.2 — 2026-08-26

The Circle feed keeps scrolling instead of stopping after the first screenful. Collaborative lists say who added what and how much you've seen. Full cast and crew, filmographies by role, and biographies in full. Reviews get replies and a cleaner write-up. Queued changes send and retry on their own.

### 2.0 — 2026-08-19

Spectra 2.0 is a whole new app — rebuilt from the ground up as a fully native iOS experience.

  Everything is faster, smoother, and works offline: browse your library anywhere, and anything you log, review, or
  edit syncs the moment you're back online.

  What's new:

  • A completely redesigned interface, built for iOS — including full iPad support
  • Home Screen widgets for your Circle feed and watchlist
  • Richer watch tracking — keep a title on your watchlist while you're watching it, and log shows season by season
  • An updated review composer with revised options.
  • Beautiful share cards for reviews and titles — send them in-app, share them anywhere, or save them to Photos
  • Collaborative lists — invite friends to build lists together
  • Comments and replies, reactions, and direct messages
  • Private notes on any title, just for you
  • A refreshed Explore with trending shelves, community reviews, and a Top Users leaderboard

  Thanks for watching with us — more to come.
