Original release notes

Your own artwork on any film
Open the poster picker from any film and take one of the alternate posters, or upload your own from your photo library. Your choice follows that film everywhere in the app, and a screen in Settings lists every film you have changed, next to the artwork it replaced.

New From Friends
The home screen now leads with the films the people you follow just watched, rated and reviewed, instead of a row of faces.

Search by genre
Browse straight into a genre from search, and sort films the way you want.

Rebuilt screens
Lists, Members and People have been rebuilt. Follow buttons sit in the list itself, People shows what each person is best known for, and Lists browses by tag.

Calmer notifications
Similar notifications stack into a single row, and the list is grouped into Today, Yesterday, This Week and Earlier.

Also in this release
Sign in with Google. Add links to your other profiles, YouTube included. Your Likes tab is now a filter on the watched shelf, so liked films sit with everything else you have seen. Appearance settings show each theme as a preview and each language in its own name. Plus fixes throughout.
