## Letterboxd Reviews in South Africa

### ****- "Amazing but needs one more thing"
Plssss I beg add a series section. It’s so confusing and annoying when some series are on Letterboxd and some aren’t. And series and movies have different rating standards so pls add a series section
-- Slushcraft, 2025-01-02

### ***** "tv episodes"
love the app, just a suggestion to include a feature where you can mark each episode you’ve watched individually
-- Ewan3031, 2024-06-26

### ****- "Favourite app but i wish…"
Wish Letterboxd had a search bar for the followers section bc having to scroll to look for someone is so annoying
And also maybe turning the “following” button into a “friends” button or changing the colour or something when your mutuals with someone
-- ¡nd¡, 2023-07-23

### *---- "I seem to create an account"
I keeps telling me to check my timezone if it’s accurate or not. 
I’m in South Africa by the way…does this app not work here?
-- Karlie Van Wyk, 2023-07-06

### ****- "Great, but needs an additional feature."
It’s a great app for all things movie related. I just would like a better feature/page to swipe through more movies to “watch” “like” “rate” and “add to watchlist”. From what I have seen you can only do this on the popular page and if you search. It should be more like tinder where there’s a main page just for swiping! And you don’t see the same movies that you have already swiped etc.
-- Coetzee JJ, 2023-04-28

### ***** "Everything I wanted and more…"
Almost a perfect app in terms of design and function. Insanely user-friendly with plenty of interesting features.
-- Aligi Boni, 2022-02-12

### ***** "get it"
movie lovers will enjoy this fr
-- Mx Carter, 2022-01-04

### ***** "Yeah"
Instead of nicotine I open this app
-- kinfilm, 2021-03-29

### ***** "For any cinephile"
Great app
-- Steez_Zee, 2020-04-18

### ***** "I love using this app. It’s for people who really want to get acquainted with fellow movie lovers."
Just awesome!
