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.
