Filmlog – Private Cinema Diary

I’m loving the simplicity of this app. It’s exactly what I’m looking for — a way to journal my thoughts about a movie in a space that is not a social networking app. One feature I wish was available is the ability to tag/label for easier sorting/filtering of my list. I’m noticing as my saved films list gets bigger, it’s becoming unruly to sift through. I would love to be able to tag my films with keywords of my choosing for specific searching later on. E.g. I can’t just search my saved films for “horror.” I have to scroll through all my saved films (thats ordered by date saved) and hope I run into a horror movie.

This app is almost great but a few glitches get in the way. As the first glitch, the app crashes a lot...usually when searching. The second glitch is hard to catch. For some reason if you try to edit a log that is already saved the app often saves the date as one day later than the date you set it at. For example if you save a movie to your watch list for January 1st, 2019 then go back to edit the date to, say, January 3rd 2019 it will save as January 4th. Sometimes this can be corrected by editing it again, sometimes it takes several tries. After finding this glitch I don’t have any confidence in the saved data. The third glitch happens when searching. If you’ve already saved a movie to your list you can search and bring up that saved log. That’s great if you want to search if you’ve already watched a particular movie. But, if the movie title has an apostrophe, for instance “We’re the Millers”, the search function doesn’t recognize the movie is already in your list. If the developer can reduce the crashes and fix this date glitch I would definitely recommend this app.

Love this app! Always wanted to keep a “film diary” to remind me of what I watched and whether I liked it or not, so I can avoid certain actors/directors... or seek out more films by them. Perfect.

Fantastic app so far! Easy to use. Just what I've been needing. Would love the ability to post to Facebook & Twitter in the future!

I was just talking to a friend about how I'd love to log in the films I watch and the ones I want to watch in the future. Really psyched that the app exists! I'd love to be able to rate the films and write reviews about them to. Maybe consider a rotten tomatoes connect or imdb connect in the future? Also for older films I don't think it matters to put the month like August 2009.. It should be just 2009. Anyway love the app, thank you! Hope there will be updates to make it better but it's a great start!

War immer super zufrieden. Simpel, leicht zu benutzen, kein Schnickschnack. Einfach App öffnen, durch bisher geschaute Filme scrollen und ggf. Neue hinzufügen. Jetzt neue Untermenüs, mehr Klickwege, weniger minimalistisch. Und die absolute Frechheit ist, dass sogar die Einstellung für den Startscreen hinter einer JÄHRLICHEN Paywall sitzt. So nicht mehr. Sorry.

Habe lange nach so einer App gesucht. Weniger ist manchmal mehr. Einfach, übersichtlich, so soll es sein.

Ich vergesse immer die Titel von Filmen, die ich später einmal sehen möchte. Mit der App kann ich die Filme schnell und schön speichern. Große Datenbank, tolle Posterauswahl - gefällt mir!

Einfach, intuitiv, ohne Schnickschnack: genau so eine App für meine Filmwunschliste habe ich gesucht. Vielen Dank!

Ich kann schnell nachschauen, welchen Film ich schon gesehen habe und planen welchen ich noch vorhabe zu schauen. Das geht super easy und übersichtlich 🙂 Bisher alle Filme gefunden, die ich speichern wollte 😊 Bin sehr zufrieden!
