Hey all, I'm excited to announce that Version 3.0 of Cinephile (the biggest yet!) has been completed and will be uploaded to Apple tonight 🤩

I don't know long they'll take to review the update, it's a chunky one. Plus the app is transitioning from being fully private to having a social platform, so I anticipate some pushback from Apple.

**IMPORTANT!!**  
For those of you who haven't been keeping up with the news and are worried that I'm turning the app into a full blown social media platform, fear not! As I promised from the beginning, \*all\* social features in the app are completely opt-in. There's a toggle in the Settings screen which, if turned off, the app will look to you as private as it does today. The Profile tab and comments sections will be completely invisible to you.

  
I am VERY excited to open the platform to social features. Please keep it civil and let's continue to be nice to each other. Note that I have ZERO tolerance for any kind of abuse and self-promotion in comments, so I will have the ban hammer always ready. From the interactions I've had with folks in this community I have no doubt that we're going to build something special together though. If you see rotten apples trying to ruin our fun, hit that Report button and I'll take care of things.

Obviously the social features are the star of the show, but this version has a LOT more improvements as well. I'll you discover by yourselves ;)

  
Looking forward to seeing you all in Cinephile's feed!

  
Cheers,

Mario
