I really would like to delete my account there and move on. Is there anything, solid enough, with a good rating system, some lists that I can make for myself or at least a simple “to watch”?
Would be cool to have a “where to watch / stream / buy” section and some basic info like people behind the movies and so on.
Major pros: good website and cross-platform mobile app.
I just installed letterboxd to check how it feels but before migrating anywhere I am more interested what I will read here.
I think tmdb should have you covered
Yeah, I have a tab opened to check it out too, do they have any ios app?
I don’t think they have their open official app but they offer their API free to developers I think.
I’m on Android and I’ve been through several TMDB apps but I don’t really like any of them. I do know that Letterboxd use their API as well but that’s a more social based thing.
On android, you can probably use hermit to approximate an app. It takes web pages and puts them in. Sand boxed app. I find it works pretty well for lot of websites.
it is proprietary and has trackers from Microsoft
You know of any open source alternatives?
Just add it to your homescreen? If it’s a PWA (tmdb is), you can even kinda install it from your browser and it behaves mostly like an app.
Edit: If you mean as a developer, just write the app as a PWA.
Thanks, I’ll give it another try. I’ve tried to install pwa’s on android with Firefox in the past and it seemed to have issues, especially on sites I logged into. But it’s been a while so why not? I installed mtdb and it looks pretty great.
Thank you, I’ll give that a go.
What are you expecting from a native app? Installing their website as a PWA works really well.
Is there any way to add it to App Library without adding it to the home screen? If there is, I don’t need the app at all, probably.
Can’t you remove it from the homescreen afterwards? Just a guess though, no idea if it’s possible, not an iOS user.
Unfortunaly no… I will research it further but probably will just slowly migrate to TMDb and then it will resolve itself somehow.
Doesn’t quite cover all the bases, but there’s this: https://github.com/zyachel/libremdb
Related app, but which can also be used without Trakt: Series Guide.
Been using Series Guide for years. Love it.
I like letterboxd for my movie review needs. It feels more like a community.
Trakt, Yamtrack, TMDB
I use the JustWatch app on my phone. Has all the info you’re looking for.
JustWatch turned to absolute shit. It’s worse than IMDb in many ways.
