Pain points
Intrusive full‑screen video ads disrupt usage
"Now they have video ads crawling around your screen. Shameful" and "Full screen unskippable AI slop ads are way too much for me"
Limited social features make it feel isolated
"It’s easy to feel isolated within your own profile" and "You should be able to find your friends more easily"
No proper support for TV shows and ratings
"Tv shows are a need" and "Pretty good app it’s just annoying how you can’t rate shows"
Age restriction blocks younger users
"I love letterboxd but i cant use it because its 17+ and i have restrictions"
Bugs
App crashes when posting or reading comments
"When I went to leave a comment on said review, the app immediately crashed" and "Since the iOS update it will let me read maybe 3 reviews before crashing"
Login and account creation failures
"I can sign in on the website but not on the app" and "Account doesn’t work – password reset never works"
Ads cause unexpected redirects and UI blocking
"Ads are taking over the entire screen while scrolling" and "Pop ads constantly show up in my face and redirect to third‑party sites"
