Despite the recent success, the application is from 2011, the result of the creativity of two Australians: Matthew Buchanan and Karl von Randow. Today, almost 15 years later, the social network has over 20 million active users throughout the planet.
The platform allows you to record all the films you have ever seen (if you have a good memory), with the possibility of assigning them notes. These notes range from one to five stars and you can also read or write short reviews.
As a good social network, Letterboxd also allows you to follow and be followed by acquaintances and other users. You can see their updates, as the films they have looked at, in addition to the notes they gave, among other information.
Interestingly, the app is free and is available for Android and iOS, as well as a PC version. There are also paid versions, which offer some extra services, such as notices every time a film on your list reaches a streaming service.
