Open a film or show's page and tap a star to rate it. Once you have rated it, a Write a review option appears — a review always needs a rating attached to it.

You do not mark things watched directly. A film counts as watched once you rate or review it; a show counts as watched once every episode is ticked off in its seasons list. It is derived from what you have actually done, so it can never quietly disagree with your shelf.

You choose when you post one: Public, which anyone can read, or Followers only, visible just to people who follow you. You can tell which is set from the visibility control in the review composer.

Open a review to reach its author's profile and follow them from there. Cast and crew have their own follow button on their own page, reachable from any title's credits.

Settings → Account settings → Delete account. The app tells you exactly what is about to be removed before it happens, and the action is immediate and permanent once confirmed.

Can't sign in, or want only part of your data removed? See criticshelf.com/delete-account for every option and exactly what is deleted or kept.

Yes. Email support@criticshelf.com from the address on your account and we will send you your ratings, reviews, watchlist and profile.

A self-service export inside the app is planned but not built yet, so this is the way to ask for one in the meantime.

Email support@criticshelf.com — that reaches a real person, not a ticket queue.
