Possibility to filter films, which aren't specifically dated
I missed a watch date on couple of films and only way I found to chech which films didn't have a date in my diary was to manually go through all of em. I would suggest you add a filter option for that, because it's a real pain in the ass if you notice that some months later and need to try to find out which film it is you didn't date properly.

Add tooltips for the eye and heart icons

Renaming lists to a previous name creates a redirect loop
Create a new list called "name1".
Rename list to "name2".Viewing name1 now redirects to name2.
Rename list to name1.
List is now longer viewable.
1 voteThis is a known issue. It comes right when the internal cache for list slugs expires, but is frustrating in the meantime.

Improve List organisation
Currently we can sort by:
Name useful for specific, one-off types of list but not very helpful when you've got a lot of 'Top 10' Lists or just can't remember exactly what you named something.'When Updated' useful for finding the most recent lists but not great for finding something you last edited a year ago, or a list that's edited at random intervals.
'Popularity' for sorting through my own lists this isn't at all useful (unless I have a sudden desire to know what my most popular lists are)
Equally we can only split between Public and Private.
Would…
1 voteWe can probably add When Created as a sort order, will take a look at this in the new year.

Show the writer/author on title page!!!
A FILM STARTS WITH A SCRIPT
“To make a great film you need three things – the script, the script and the script.” – Alfred Hitchcock
Whilst there are many important jobs in film (producer, cinematographer...), I think that the writer just MUST be up there directly to be seen and not hidden with the other cast and crew.
IMDB and Plex, both display the name of the writer directly below that of the director. For good reason. I find not doing this is grossly negligent!1 vote -
Filter a user's film list by 'reviewed' or 'not reviewed'
It would be very useful to be able to see at a glance items which do not have a review in either one's own film list or the film list of another Letterboxd member.

I keep getting click bait spam on your app
I’m really enjoying using this app and I’m new to the platform. So it’s worrying me that I always get the same type of click bait / phishing type of advert that claims I’ve won an iPhone cause I’m the 1000th customer. Please fix this, if I’m investing time and putting my info into this app, I need to be assured that data isn’t completely being ransomed to anybody. I’m not ignorant I know cause it’s free we can expect adverts but click bait spam ads, really ??
1 voteWhere are you seeing the adverts? In web views inside the app? The app iteself does not serve ads at this time.

Integrate with Filmstruck as their rating and tracking engine!
I love Letterboxd, and I love Filmstruck. Sadly, Filmstruck has no rating system nor way to track what I've watched. How cool would it be if your two organizations partnered up! It would bring visibility to Letterboxd and give Filmstruck a huge missing feature.
Hopefully you're at least having coffee with the Filmstruck folks on occasion. :)
1 voteWe’d love to work with them on something like this and have reached out.

Show "Movie Status" on main pages
When scrolling through movies, there's no way to see what you've already marked as "watched"/"want to watch"/"liked". This functionality is available on Goodreads (for reference). Currently your browsing UX is not as pleasant as it could be due to the confusion of not knowing whether the "watched" movies that you see are already marked as such, which causes people like me to want to check/re-mark them.
1 voteThanks for your feedback. We do have a “Fade Watched” option which you can engage for most poster grid views, that fades out films you’ve marked as watched. Showing watched, liked and watchlisted status for every film all the time in those views leads to a very busy interface and detracts from the browsing experience.

2016 Year in review
Hello,
My name is Andrei and I saw the 2016 Year in Review landing page. Everything is really nice except the first screen of the landing page (the one with the dot that is flipping and changing colors). That screen is really confusing because I was waiting for the content to load (for about 10 minutes) until I scrolled down. I hope that my feedback can be of use :).
Have a nice day,
Andrei1 voteThanks Andre. That page should load up a selection of posters and show them to you. Sorry if that’s not working for you! (We’ll double check that it’s working in your Edge 14 browser.)

How do I import notes from a previously exported list?
When I export my Letterboxd Lists, the Notes I have entered appear in a field with the DESCRIPTION header. However, there does not seem to be a way to import those Notes into a new Letterboxd List. In other words, there is not a field in the Import Header template that seems to correspond to the DESCRIPTION (or Notes) field. Can you help?
1 voteThe export and import options are not 100% compatible with each other at this time. We do not support notes import. We’ll look at support for this in the future.

Will go Pro if links with Amazon Prime UK and Netflix UK
Hi there, I will immediately go Pro if the filtering worked with Amazon Prime and Amazon Video UK and Netflix UK as they offer different lists.
Please let me know if this is in development.
Thanks

Adding a link to Blogger
I have a movie blog that I do with a couple of my buddies that I would love to just be able to post my Letterboxd reviews to as well. Would it be possible to get a link by the Facebook and Twitter symbols to Blogger.com as well?

have some way of seeing film ratings when viewing a list
As the title says really. When I'm viewing a list for inspiration for stuff to watch, it would be handy to see the average rating and/or number of likes without having to view the film's page.
Perhaps only displaying this in list mode would be sufficient, and use up some of the blank space in that view.
1 voteWe’re planning to at least show the list owner’s rating in list detail view. We’re not fond of average ratings across the site, but will investigate other options for representing the best films, perhaps a sort option by popularity.

Fix your counting algorithm
After un-rating all of my films, it now shows that I have -1 films rated. Meanwhile it says I have 4 reviews when I in fact only have 3.
1 voteWe cache a number of data points in the site, which occasionally leads to inconsistent totals. When the relevant cache expires, your totals will correct themselves. We’ll take a look and see if we can improve our handling here by not allowing negatives!

Broken List Display
It won't show all films in my list even when I set it to show all. They only appear when the list is set display in any order other than 'ranked.'
What gives??

A few glitches when it comes to lists
I've encountered two frustrating glitches when it comes to lists. First, with lists of a certain size (~2,500 films or more) I cannot edit them on the desktop browser without the website subsequently deleting every film on the list past ~2,500 (I can't remember the exact number). This problem does not occur when I edit lists on mobile. Secondly, I've found that for these huge lists, it also likes to skip a number. For my ranked list, which has 5,151 films on it, the list will skip 2,920, going straight from 2,919 to 2921. As a result of this, the…
1 voteThe list editing limit on the web is about 3,300 we believe. We’re looking to adopt the same approach as in our app, but it’s not ready yet.
The missing list items is probably due to a film in the list having been deleted from the site (we routinely remove entries that TMDb removes for not being films). Adding and removing a film from said list should fix it, but obviously that’s not possible if you strike the first issue. Noted.

Bookmark lists
Please make it possible to save or bookmark lists from other people. It sucks having to search every time for a given list.
Alternatively, show the liked lists on the profile under "lists", below the own lists.1 voteIf you “like” lists that you want to save, you can look at your Likes on your profile and then click the title of the Lists column to see all liked lists.
