What's new

Updates to I Like Movies, newest first.

7 September 2026

• Title pages now show how everyone on the app rated a title, side by side with your friends' average
• That score moves the moment you rate, change or clear your own rating
• Your collection and watchlist load faster, especially when coming back from a title
• Invite links now bring a friend straight to you: open one, install the app, and the friend request is ready to confirm
• Got an invite code instead of a link? Enter it on the Friends page to add the person who sent it
• New accounts get a one-time pointer to where friends and family are invited
• Share a rating as a picture to Instagram, WhatsApp and other apps from any title you have rated
• Share your Top 4 the same way, with a share button beside the edit pencil on your profile
• Both pictures are sized for an Instagram Story
• Links, selected filters and the active tab now use the app's gold, so what you can tap stands out from the rest of the text
• Episode pages open on a swipeable set of stills, with arrows and a tap to view any of them full screen
• Reordering a ranked list now uses the usual back arrow
• A momentary server hiccup while opening a page is retried quietly instead of showing an error

31 August 2026

• Get a heads-up when a show you are watching has a new episode, one alert a day at most, with an off switch in Settings
• You can now choose who sees what you log, with separate settings for watched titles and ratings, and for your watchlist
• Anything you log while set to Only me stays off your friends feed, and your own posts are marked so you can tell at a glance
• Settings is now a short list of sections, and your streaming services moved to a page of their own
• Title pages now show the IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic marks next to each score
• You can now sort your library by Metascore
• After you have used the app for a while, it may invite you once to rate it on Google Play
• You can now rate the app on Google Play from Settings
• Filmmaker pages with several roles now show their role tabs cleanly, and you can swipe across them when there are many
• Your watchlist can now be filtered down to the titles you already own, and your collection to the ones you also plan to watch
• Households now see everyone's owned titles in one collection, with a filter to show just one person's
• A list emptied by your own filters now says so, instead of suggesting you add titles
• Your library now opens with a few titles you have seen but never rated, so your first ratings are one tap away
• The assistant now works from what you have seen and saved until you have rated a few titles
• New members get a nudge toward the week's collection a day after joining, and a reminder to rate a few titles later that week
• If you have been away for a week, one reminder points you back to the week's collection

24 August 2026

• A flaky connection can no longer get you stuck partway through sign-up

• A brief connection hiccup no longer tells you your session expired

• Marking a movie as watched now shows the year you watched it, and you can change it any time
• Tips you dismiss now stay dismissed
• You can now delete your own feed posts, and they disappear for everyone right away
• The Friends page now leads with inviting a friend, and one search box both filters your friends and finds anyone on the app
• Friend requests you sent now sit next to the ones you received, and you can withdraw them
• Invite links now open a proper page with the store button, so friends without the app can install it first
• An invite link tapped before signing up now still brings you to the invite once you are in
• Title pages now open with a Synopsis section, followed by a Details section with awards, Metascore, budget, revenue and spoken languages
