Coming from tv time and the import was pretty smooth it looks like. First thing that caught my eye though was unless I’m not seeing it, for tv shows it would be nice to have an option for the poster art in the home section instead of the episode art. I love that there is a grid option cause I always preferred that layout. Love to see already a “haven’t watched in awhile” section. One issue though is there is no sort for that to last watched sorting. Next unless I don’t see I still hope we get a “haven’t started” section next. Update it would also be nice if when holding on a show in the home or library changing the library status wasn’t multiple clicks. Would be nice to just have it there right away when long pressing. Also another qol of life change would be a way to select multiple shows at a time under library cause so many of my shows didn’t go to “gave up” or “paused” to match tv times
After the announcement of TV Time’s discontinuation, I began looking for something to “replace it” in my heart, and I soon found Cinephile. I love the design, UI, look, and feel. It’s just so charming, and it’s really the only app I can see myself continuing my TV and Film journey with. It’s just so beautiful and clean. I can only really think of a few things to make my experience on this amazing app better. 1. To my knowledge there isn’t a way to post/read public comments on Films, Shows, or Individual Episodes and I would really like that, as to feel a better sense of community in the app. 2. I would really like a companion website so I could access Cinephile outside of IOS devices. 3. From my research, It doesn’t seem that this app uses any AI features or content, and I prefer it that way. I just hope it stays AI free… Regardless of if my wants come true, I will be using this app quite a lot and I’m excited for my future using it. Thank you for the amazing app!! <3
I did it- I dropped my IMDB account!!! After 10 years, I found something that beats out the competition! I was wary since IMDB import wasn’t a thing on here and my 3K+ watchlist would not be fun to manually switch over. After reaching out to the creator it wasn’t even a WEEK before IMDB import was added. The creator is super responsive and it shows that this is a passion rather than a little project. It still has room to grow- higher detail on film data and greater sorting options (like by genre or IMDB rating), but I’m not even worried about them. This app gets better with every update! I’m a die-hard for this app now.
Cinephile is the ultimate companion for movie and TV lovers who want to stay organized, discover great titles, and track every watch session in one pl...
