  • Can I set my profile to private?
    Yes, much like in most traditional social media platforms you can set your profile to Private. Below are the steps: Log in to flickd app Click on your Profile button on the bottom right corner Tap the Settings wheel on the top right corner Tap Privacy Toggle the Private Profile button on. This will allow other users to find your profile, but they will have to send a follow request for you to approve. If your profile is private, users will only be able to see the information on your profile above the Awards section (included).

Please e-mail us on support@flickd.co.uk if you encounter any issues or would like to request import functionality from other platforms.
  • Do I have to provide my real name?
    We believe in creating a community of real people behind their accounts, this is why we encourage people to provide their full name. In order to preserve some anonimity we keep the last name to the first initial. It's then up to the users to decide whether to fully disclose their identity (by way of including their last name in the username) or to keep it to first name and last name initial. We believe this approach will help achieve our goals of creating a safe space for everyone to share their thoughts.
  • How are the ratings calculated?
    Currently, ratings are being pulled from TMDB, which powers the entire catalog database. The ratings on TMDB are on a 0-100% scale so we translated that into a 0-5 star point scale (e.g.: a 70% rating on TMDB would show as a 3.5 star rating on flickd).
  • Where are flickd user submitted ratings shown?
    Once a minimum of 100 ratings have been submitted by flickd users, their average ratings will be averaged with the TMDB average rating, and that score will be the one displayed on the page (e.g.: TMDB average rating is 70%, or 3.5 star, and flickd average rating is 4.0 star, rating displayed is 3.8 stars). In the future, we plan to have flickd user ratings as a separate score.
  • Can you display IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes ratings?
    We are aiming to bring different types of ratings to the title pages so users can benefit from different sources of ratings they are used to. Stay tuned for more on this.
  • How are badges awarded?
    Badges come in three different colours: purple, if they're TV and film agnostic, blue for film specific awards, and pink for TV specific awards. They are automatically granted and added to your profile once you meet the criteria set. The key to most awards is how much other flickd users find your contributions consistently helpful and engaging through liking your posts and reviews, across the different genres within TV and film. We may adjust these thresholds over time or add new awards to reflect our growing user base.
