Letterboxd is the perfect iPad app for any movie lover, allowing you to keep up with the latest releases, track the films you’ve seen, and interact with your friends and favorite movie critics. The iPad is the perfect size to use as a journal, and Letterboxd is the best way to keep track of every movie you watch so you can look back and see if you’ve seen something or even check your old star ratings.

Letterboxd is completely free, but you can remove ads by upgrading to Pro for £16.49/$19 a year. The app is beautifully designed, and if you love films, you’ll wonder why you’ve not been using the platform your whole life. By logging or reviewing movies as you watch them, you’ll quickly build up an amazing archive of every single film you’ve ever seen.

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to create your own watchlist, log a movie, add a friend or film critic to see what they watch, and take full control of your movie-viewing experience. Letterboxd is the ultimate app for any movie lover out there, and best of all, it’s incredibly simple to use.

Looking for a movie to watch? Letterboxd has you covered. From the Popular tab (at the bottom of the screen), you can view all of the most popular films of the week to help with choice paralysis.

Letterboxd allows you to see what streaming platform each movie is available on. Once you’ve chosen a film to watch, click on the poster and then the Services tab. Letterboxd will show you everywhere you can stream the movie to watch it.
