★★★★ Sarvottam Kumar 7/4/2026 v3.5.6
worse app, worst website.
★★★★ Cleorita Maricon Sadiaza 7/4/2026 v3.5.6
Auto Ad redirection spoils my user experience.
★★★★ Enes ÖZBEK 7/4/2026 v3.5.6
their help department doesn't really help kinda overrated app.
★★★★ Josephine Chiam 7/3/2026 v3.5.6
PLEASE stop opening TikTok shop whenever I open letterboxd this app actually feels like a virus cuz everytime I close the popup it keeps reopening it too
★★★★ Kim Thereze Alarcos 7/2/2026 v3.5.6
Crashes more often than my banking apps but good website for movie recs. For Premium tiers that expensive, you'd think they're paying their IT team fairly.
★★★★ Aditia 7/1/2026 v3.5.6
I don't like the advertisment for gamble sites.
★★★★ Sean Reno 7/1/2026 v3.5.6

شركة شكدها شكبرها ماتحل مشكلة العطل
★★★★ MoRan 6/30/2026
WHY IS THERE SO MANY POP UP ADS 😭 i can't even let the app sit for a good minute without having an ad pop right after EVERY. SECOND. LIKEEE????? DOWNGRADE
★★★★ Bernica Putri Chandra Kirana 6/30/2026
too much ads
★★★★ Hero 6/29/2026
ads bro i dont even clicked it
★★★★ Fat 6/29/2026 v3.5.3
stupid ads
★★★★ jonathan alexander 6/29/2026 v3.5.6
ads opening by itself even though I didn't tap. App gets really unstable after 10+ mins of use.
★★★★ Nugroho Muhammad 6/29/2026 v3.5.6
The app keeps redirecting me to an add on different window without tapping anything and it won't stop. It's now practically useless to even opening the app
★★★★ Abyantama El Anwary 6/28/2026 v3.5.6
The ads are really annoying. I never click on them, but somehow they keep opening and redirecting me to advertisers' pages. Do you really need the ad revenue that badly?
★★★★ Patricia Velasco 6/28/2026 v3.5.6
too much salt (ads) can ruin the meal
★★★★ V. 6/28/2026 v3.5.3
Too many ads, the most annoying thing about these ads is that they take me straight to the app, the second I open the app, I’m immediately hit by a stupid ad.
★★★★ Alex Arco 6/28/2026
i'm not even CLICKING ANYTHING WHY IS IT REDIRECTING
★★★★ Mighty Pepper 6/28/2026 v3.5.6
edit: they redesigned the UI for the app, the app is much worse now.
★★★★ virly meidina 6/28/2026 v3.5.6
ads just popping up so suddenly even when i'm not scrolling or click anything. this is annoying.
★★★★ king cyrel Mejarito 6/27/2026 v3.5.6
i wish i can take a video of how it repeatedly opens Tiktok shop by itself and almost forces me to buy certain items, even when I haven't clicked any of the ads
★★★★ Drew Brummett 6/27/2026 v3.5.6
for once, the bug complaints are true
★★★★ NONA GOGO 6/27/2026 v3.5.6
It's full of problems; it doesn't open frequently, it freezes often, it opens for two days then closes, and it won't open for a week. Please fix these problems because they make it difficult to use.
★★★★ Noah Henderson 6/27/2026 v3.5.4
The platform is a 4.5, the mechanics of the software is a 3.5 at best. the problem as other people have pointed out is the app itself. God awful. Mine hasn't crashed, but it slows down/lags to all hell after using the app just a few minutes, or scrolling through too many movies. HUH?!
★★★★ Saoirse Fae 6/27/2026 v3.5.6
what's with the ads pop up omg that's so annoying
★★★★ nadine 6/27/2026 v3.5.6
ads every breathe i take
★★★★ Alya S. 6/27/2026 v3.5.6
knp sekarang kalo mau pencet apapun malah tb² buka ke apk shopee ya, padahal sblmnya jg ada iklan tp fine² aja
★★★★ Mariam Elkhedel 6/23/2026 v3.5.6
its so hard to make an account
★★★★ Mohammad Faraz 6/23/2026 v3.5.4
It's horrible. The idea is amazing and all the features are good. But there are so mmay time outs. It says error loading movies or socket timeouts. It's realy frustrating. Please fix it. You are ruining such an amazing app.
★★★★ Ricedayo 6/23/2026 v3.5.3
Ads have started just popping up randomly and has made this unusable. Will be scrolling a friend's page and then taken to the play store seemingly at random without warning
★★★★ Rana 6/23/2026 v3.5.2
often open an ads by itself
★★★★ Randy 6/22/2026
Used to work without issues. Even with poorly designed ui it was fine. But now I cant even open the app after the update. Crashes instantly and getting a "socket timeout" error message. fix this please
★★★★ oswald munar 6/22/2026 v3.5.4
ik premium tier or something exist but is it really reasonable to have ads that open automatically? it really makes the experience feel cheap (yes it really is cheap because its the free version) ik u guys have to generate revenue, but at least consider the experience of the users when using the app.
★★★★ Gzy Tzl 6/21/2026 v3.5.4
Reklama vesaire tıklamadığım halde aptal aptal beni trendyol a gönderiyo adam gibi yapın şu sistemi kafayı yicem
★★★★ Sofia Leonardo 6/21/2026 v3.5.4
too many ads
★★★★ Andra Sandru 6/20/2026
The most awful app I have ever had the displeasure of installing. Could not get past the captcha. It simply refused to verify and returned me to the create account screen.
★★★★ Natalie Ma 6/16/2026 v3.5.4
Don't bother downloading & just use the website. This app is downright unusable. It hides the back buttons and doesn't resize the displays so you get locked on certain screens.
★★★★ Casey Lee Danger 6/15/2026 v3.5.3
Used to work perfectly fine, but in the past month I've started consistently getting 403 error messages every time I try to change a poster or backdrop, which is a feature I specifically pay for. Extremely God damn frustrating as a long time user.
★★★★ AHURA erfan 6/15/2026 v3.2.2
Great concept but the app itself is such a pain to work with
★★★★ Zahra Heidari 6/12/2026
TV time is wayyyyyy better.
★★★★★ Zeynep Gülen 7/4/2026 v3.5.6
Since the recent updates, I've been experiencing a very strange issue. Whenever I open the app, after about 10 seconds it automatically launches the shopping app in my phone, even if I don't touch anything. And it keeps opening.This only happens with Letterboxd-no other app on my phone behaves this way. I've already tried clearing the cache, reinstalling the app, and restarting my phone, but nothing has fixed the problem. Please investigate this issue, as it makes the app very difficult to use.
★★★★★ Adrian Gaeta 7/3/2026 v3.5.6
there's a bug that I encounter somewhat frequently, where if I go to another app while writing a review (without closing letterboxd), when I return, the review will be gone. just gone. god forbid I want to look up a vocab word. really infuriating when you were writing something for 45 minutes. please fix this!
★★★★★ H Behn 7/2/2026 v3.5.6
App just doesn't work most of the time. It freezes and times out. Huge disappointment.
★★★★★ Nelson Pereira 7/1/2026 v3.5.6
The idea and features are promising, but it's really slow and constantly giving you messages of errors, pages and infos that simply don't load. Please fix this technical issues. At a certain point people just don't have the patience for those errors and give up. It's a shame.
★★★★★ Glenn 6/29/2026 v3.5.6
I love letterboxd but i kept getting redirected into ad for no reason? i didn't clicked anything or there's a time that i keep still on the screen but it redirected anyway! please fix this!
★★★★★ Jasper Chan 6/24/2026 v3.5.6
always crashes
★★★★★ Malin Bakke 6/18/2026 v3.5.4
I was very excited for this app until I realised it does not allow tracking of TV series. I will not use one app for movies and another for TV series, so I am moving on to an app that supports both.
★★★★★ Nathaniel Eddy 6/17/2026 v3.5.4
I wish it were more like similar platforms for books, and maybe a bit clearer to use
★★★★★ Dav 6/17/2026 v3.5.4
you absolutely need to add shows so we can have an all in one app to track all of our media watching and ratings. and how come we can't see the total number of ratings? should be a basic "feature" of the app
