Frequently Asked Questions
Find quick, comprehensive answers about communities, watchlists, social requests, account setup, and data sources below.
Film Diary & TV Tracking
Can I use Flixie without friends?
Yes. Keep your own film diary, track TV episodes, save a watchlist and explore recommendations before adding friends.
What can I record in my film diary?
Log a movie viewing with its date, rating out of 10 and diary note. You can mark cinema visits, record who you watched with and log separate rewatches.
Can I track TV episodes and seasons?
Yes. Track watched episodes and season progress for the TV shows you follow, so you can keep your place across different series.
Can I watch films and TV episodes in Flixie?
No. Flixie helps you discover, track and plan what to watch. Films and episodes are watched through external services or at the cinema. Separate subscriptions or purchases may be required.
Getting Started
What is Flixie?
Flixie is a social movie discovery companion app designed to bring film lovers together. With Flixie, you can search thousands of titles, build lists, track what you’ve watched, save your favourites, rate and review movies, and easily connect with friends to coordinate virtual or in-person movie watches.
Is registration required to use Flixie?
You can explore Flixie before signing up. Create an account to save your watchlist, film diary, TV progress and ratings, or connect with friends and make Watch Plans.
Where does Flixie’s data come from?
Flixie uses the TMDB API for movie details, synopses, ratings, cast information, and streaming availability. TMDB’s watch-provider data is powered by JustWatch; Flixie does not connect to JustWatch directly and is not endorsed or certified by TMDB or JustWatch.
How frequently is content updated?
Flixie refreshes movie metadata and watch-provider availability through TMDB. Availability can change, so confirm the current listing with the relevant streaming service before watching.
Communities
How do I find and join communities?
Open Social and choose Communities to browse communities for your favourite film and TV genres. Join the ones that interest you to discover shared reviews and take part in discussions. You can also choose communities during account setup, or skip that step and join later.
Does joining a community make my activity public?
Joining does not enable public review sharing. If you turn on Share on Around Flixie, your reviews and eligible public lists can appear beyond your friends, and shared reviews may appear in relevant communities you join. Discussions and replies you publish are visible to eligible users outside your friends. Your watch history, watchlists and watch plans are not included in public feeds.
How can I manage my community experience?
Manage community notifications and profile visibility in the app, save posts for later, and report or block users when needed. You can delete your discussions and replies individually. Leaving a community does not permanently delete your contributions, and turning off Around Flixie sharing does not delete discussions or public replies.
Watchlist, Watched & Favourites
How do I add a movie to my watchlist?
To add any movie or TV series to your watchlist, tap the bookmark icon or click the "+ Watchlist" button on the film’s details page. To review your full watchlist, go to your Profile and select the Watchlist tab.
How do I mark a movie as watched?
When viewing a movie card or details screen, tap the checkmark icon or click "Mark as Watched". Doing this will automatically log the title into your Watched History tab with the current date, and remove it from your pending watchlist.
How do I add a movie to my favourites?
Tap the heart icon on any movie details page. Favourites are showcased as a featured carousel on the header of your personal profile, making it easy to share your top cinematic tastes with visitors.
Friends & Watch Plans
Can I see what my friends think of a movie?
Yes. Movie pages show eligible friend activity, including ratings, whether they recommend the film and watchlist status. Friends keep their own scores and opinions; visibility depends on the app’s settings.
How do I add a friend?
Navigate to the social Search tab, enter your friend’s email, or username, and tap "Send Friend Request". Once they accept, you’ll be able to view each other’s watched histories and active watchlists.
How do I invite someone to watch a movie?
Create a Watch Plan with a friend or group. Suggest films, vote on options and agree a date, time and location for a cinema trip or a night in. You can start with a date and add more details later.
Where can I see my sent and received watch requests?
Use Watch Plans in Flixie to find your invitations, responses and upcoming arrangements.
Account & Settings
How do I change my password?
Go to your Profile tab, click the Settings gear icon, select "Account Security", and click "Change Password". Enter your current password followed by your chosen new password to update security.
What should I do if I forget my password?
On the login page of the application, tap "Forgot Password?". Enter your registered email address and we will send you a secure password reset link containing instructions to choose a new credential safely.

How do I rate a movie?
