Have been a Pro member of the community for a few years and always have a browser tab open with it to look up, rate, review, and add films to lists. With the app it makes it so much easier for me to look things up all the time and the app is working great for me so far.

I've been primarily using the mobile site on my commute to work since I first joined Letterboxd years ago. This is long awaited.
And they NAILED it. A lot of complexity in this little app but it's simple to use.
too bad they don t have an import from IMDB. i have hundreds of movies rated there already...#growthhack
@ourielohayon We do have that — it’s available to paid members through the web interface (http://letterboxd.com/about/impo...).
@ourielohayon @mrb i wouldn't use it, but seems like a way of making it easier to the folks wondering about making the change from imdb to letterboxd
@ourielohayon Thanks. It makes more sense to be available to all once the API is public.
@mjmsmith Yes we are. We have some work to do to prepare terms of use and technical things like key generation and rate limits but it’s a key focus now the app is out.
Feature request for the next update: Sorting for my watchlist and make it the default tab in my profile.
@davidesquimal We’ve added capacity all round and will continue to improve this daily.
@davidesquimal always found the mobile site working better than most mobile sites, but yea it could be better
Woohoo, finally a mobile app for my favorite movie site! Looks and works great. The loading times are a bit slower than expected, but I'm sure you will be optimizing it in the future. Everything else is pretty smooth.
My iPhone 6s running iOS 9.0.1 gets really hot while using the app, though. There is high CPU activity which eats up the battery pretty quickly.
@dubstrike We have a lot of performance improvements coming in the next release.
What I miss is: filter and info about availability on streaming or downloading services
@bradenhamm @vkt0r Aha! We registered domains and other sundries well before launch.
