### 4/5 — Додайте функції

*2024-12-21, version 384.0.46*

Дуже круто, що є український додаток. Давно шукала, щоб впорядкувати серіали. Але для мене виявився абсолютно не потрібним. Неможливо відмітити серії, немає чітких списків «в процесі, на майбутнє, завершено». Дуже сподіваюсь, що додасте це. Хочеться користуватись🥲

### 5/5 — Вау

*2024-09-21, version 384.0.41*

Вперше користуюсь, але мені дуже подобається!

### 4/5 — Sympa mais…

*2024-07-14*

…il manque le mode sombre. Le fait de pouvoir créer des listes et surtout de mettre la liste des films en mur d’images. Sinon c’est super prometteur…

**Developer response:** jackbauer1977, Cher utilisateur, merci pour vos commentaires, oui le thème noir est cassé, j'essaierai de le résoudre dans les prochaines mises à jour. Concernant les listes personnalisées, j'essaierai quelque chose à l'avenir. Merci pour les idées.

### 4/5 — Quasi perfetta

*2021-05-25*

L'applicazione è fantastica e va bene. Dovrebbe essere messa la possibilità di vedere il ->numero<- di film che rimangono da vedere o visti

The application is great and that's fine.  It should be possible to see the -> number <- of films that remain to be seen or seen

**Developer response:** Grazie per la tua recensione, aggiungerò contatori nella prossima versione

### 5/5 — Great!

### 5/5 — Great!

*2018-08-02, version 1.33*
