Frequently asked questions

Getting started
What is ReelCrew?
ReelCrew is a community-first movie and TV tracking app built around the people you actually watch with. You log what you watch, rate it, react, and share an activity feed, a group watchlist, and a leaderboard with your crew.
Is ReelCrew free?
Yes. ReelCrew is free to download and use on iPhone and Android.
What platforms is ReelCrew available on?
ReelCrew is on iPhone and iPad via the App Store, on Android via Google Play, and as a full-featured web app you can use in any browser.
How is ReelCrew different from Letterboxd?
ReelCrew is built around small, private groups called crews rather than a public network. With your crew you share a feed, vote on a shared watchlist, schedule watch nights, run challenges, and compete on a leaderboard — just with the people you watch with. It also tracks TV per season, not only movies.
Is ReelCrew available on Android?
Yes — ReelCrew is live on Google Play. It's also available on iPhone via the App Store, and the ReelCrew web app works in any browser today.
Can I use ReelCrew on a computer or in a browser?
Yes. Alongside the iPhone app, ReelCrew has a full-featured web app you can use in any desktop or mobile browser — no install required. Log in with the same account for the same crews, feed, and leaderboard.
Comparisons & fit
Is there an app like Letterboxd but for tracking movies with friends?
That's essentially what ReelCrew is built to be. It borrows the logging, rating, and review mechanics people like from Letterboxd, but organizes the whole app around a private crew instead of a public profile — a shared feed, shared watchlist, watch-night scheduling, and a leaderboard — so tracking movies together with your specific friend group is the default experience, not an afterthought.
What's a good movie tracker for family movie nights?
ReelCrew works well for this. Create a private crew for your family, vote on a shared watchlist to decide movie night, and everyone logs and rates what you watched together afterward. It's designed for exactly this kind of small, recurring group.
Crews
What is a crew?
A crew is a private, invite-only group. Members share an activity feed, a group watchlist you vote on, watch-night scheduling, challenges, badges, and a leaderboard.
How do I start or join a crew?
Create a crew from your profile and share the invite link or code, or open an invite link a friend sends you. You can be in more than one crew and switch between them.
Can my crew vote on what movie or show to watch next?
Yes. Every crew has a shared watchlist that members vote on, sorted by vote count, so the group can see and settle on what to watch next together.
Logging & tracking
Can I track TV shows, not just movies?
Yes. TV is tracked per season — log each season you watch, rate it, and react, alongside your movies.
Does ReelCrew track TV shows I'm currently watching, episode by episode?
Yes. Check off episodes as you watch them, and finishing a season automatically marks it seen. You can also log the season with a rating and review for your crew to see, separate from the private episode checklist.
How do I log a movie or show?
Search a title, pick movie or TV, mark it watched or a rewatch, choose when you watched it, give it a rating out of 10, and optionally add reactions and a quick take.
What are challenges, watch nights, and badges?
Challenges are time-boxed crew goals with a champion. Watch nights let you schedule a title off the crew watchlist and collect RSVPs. Badges are earned for milestones, and the leaderboard ranks crew members across several categories.
Importing & data
Can I import my history from Letterboxd or IMDb?
Yes. You can import your watch history and ratings from a Letterboxd export (.zip or CSV) or an IMDb ratings CSV.
Where does the movie and TV data come from?
Titles, posters, and metadata come from TMDb. Streaming availability is provided via JustWatch and TMDb and can vary by region. ReelCrew uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB.
Does ReelCrew show where to watch a title?
Yes. A movie's detail shows whether it is in theaters, streaming, or available to rent or buy, and which services carry it. Availability is region-dependent.
Account & privacy
How is my privacy handled?
Crews are private and invite-only. You control how your name appears to others — full name, first name, or username — and you can block users and report objectionable content.
How do I delete my account or data?
In the app, go to Settings and choose Delete Account, which permanently removes your account and associated data. You can also see the account deletion and data deletion pages.
