Common questions

Why does my Letterboxd sync only show recent films?

Letterboxd has no public API, so Flicker reads your public RSS feed instead, which only covers your last ~50–100 logged entries. It's a sync of recent activity, not your full watched history.

I connected Letterboxd but nothing imported

Either the username doesn't exist, or your diary is private. Letterboxd's RSS feed only exposes public activity, so a private profile has nothing for Flicker to read.

Why does a recommendation not match what I asked for?

Each session mixes a random set of questions, and answers are combined into one search against TMDb's catalog. If your combined answers were very narrow, Flicker loosens the search once rather than showing nothing, so an occasional pick can be a looser match.

Does Flicker work without an internet connection?

No. Every recommendation and search comes from TMDb's live catalog, so a connection is required.

Is my data backed up anywhere?

Watched and Saved lists live only on your device. There's no account or cloud sync, so reinstalling the app or switching devices will not carry them over.
