New
Google Authentication: Users can now sign in and sign up using their Google account, eliminating the need to remember yet another password. The integration automatically creates a CINERS account linked to your Google email, making onboarding seamless and instant.
New
Independent Explore Filters: The Explore page has been completely re-engineered with a new filter system that operates independently for Movies and TV Shows. When you switch between tabs, your active filters will never bleed across as each tab remembers its own state.
New
Email Verification on Email Change: You can now finally update your email address without needing us. When you update your email address in your profile, we will send you a verification link to your new address. Your email will only be updated once you confirm ownership, ensuring your account remains secure and under your control.
New
Username Changes Without Admin Help: You can now change your username directly from the Profile page without needing to contact us or wait for a manual update. The edit flow is simple: click Edit, type your new username, and save.
New
Infinite Scroll: Say goodbye to pagination! Everything across the site that has multiple items, now load content dynamically as you scroll down, loading 28 items at a time. No more page refreshes, just smooth, continuous browsing through the entire library.
New
Sort Controls with Per-Tab State: Every list tab now has independent sorting controls. Sort by Last Added, Release Date, or Alphabetical, with ascending and descending direction toggles. Each tab remembers its own sort preference independently.
New
Up Next as a Standalone Page: We made the decision to separate Up Next from the Lists page, giving it its own dedicated space. This made more sense structurally. Up Next is about what you are actively watching right now, while Lists is your complete library. The new standalone Up Next page is more visually refined, and episodes intelligently reorder themselves as you mark them as watched. If you finish an episode that was buried deeper in your list, it immediately rises to the top without requiring a refresh, keeping your next priority always front and center.
New
Dedicated Season Pages with Ratings: TV Show seasons now have their own dedicated pages with significantly more detail than before. Each season page displays its premiere date, episode count, and full episode grid, along with the ability to mark the entire season as watched with a single click. You can also rate individual seasons independently from the parent TV show, allowing for more nuanced tracking when a show has stronger and weaker seasons.
New
Clickable Posters and Backdrops: Every poster and backdrop across the site is now clickable. Clicking on any image in the Posters or Backdrops tabs opens the full-size version in a new tab, allowing you to appreciate the artwork in its full resolution. No more squinting at thumbnails, just click and enjoy.
Improvement
Complete UI Overhaul: Every page has been redesigned with a refined hero section, improved typography, consistent spacing throughout, and sexy touches on just about everything. The dark theme has been deepened with richer blacks and more intentional accent colors, creating a truly cinematic browsing experience.
Improvement
Tab Architecture Standardised: The tab switching behaviour across Search Results, Movie pages, TV Show pages, Lists page, and wherever else has been unified into a single, consistent system. Subtabs like Watched/Watchlist now use a segmented button group design, making it all seamless.
Improvement
Empty State Handling: We caught and eliminated dozens of visual bugs where empty containers would render awkwardly. Now, when no results exist, whether in search, lists, or related content, the interface responds intelligently. Empty sections collapse automatically, and clear, context-appropriate messages will guide you instead of leaving blank spaces.
Improvement
Release Date Sorting with TBA Handling: When sorting by release date, titles without a confirmed date are now intelligently positioned. In descending order, upcoming and TBA titles appear first, followed by the newest releases. In ascending order, the oldest confirmed dates come first with TBA titles last, exactly as you would expect.
Improvement
Forgot Password and Reset Password Flows: The password recovery system has been completely rebuilt with clear step indicators showing exactly where you are in the process. Styling is consistent across both pages, and the eye icon toggle works on all password fields.
Improvement
Footer Stability Across Short Pages: Pages with minimal content, such as the verification screen, empty search results, and the Contact page, now maintain a minimum height that prevents the footer from awkwardly floating up or being cut off mid-screen.
Improvement
Watchlist and Watched Buttons Unified: The watched and watchlist toggle buttons now work consistently across every page and every context, from the Explore page to Search Results to the Lists page and even dynamically loaded infinite scroll content. The underlying JavaScript uses event delegation so that buttons loaded via AJAX respond instantly without requiring page reloads.
Improvement
Up Next on Homepage: If you are signed in, the homepage now greets you with a beautifully redesigned Up Next section. It pulls the next 10 unwatched episodes, sorted intelligently by release date and your viewing history. You can mark an episode as watched directly from the homepage card without navigating away. The next episode slides into its place automatically without a page refresh. It makes staying on top of your shows effortless.
Improvement
Watched Button Disabled for Unreleased Titles: We have zero tolerance for time travelers. The watched button is now universally disabled across every page, hero sections, search results, Explore cards, lists, and Up Next, whenever a movie or TV show has no release date or is scheduled for the future. You cannot mark something as watched if it has not been released. The button appears greyed out, ensuring honesty in your tracking. This applies to movies, TV shows, individual seasons, and episodes.
Improvement
Brand New Calendar Page: We are genuinely proud of this one. The Calendar page has been rebuilt from the ground up to give you a clear, browsable overview of what is releasing. You can navigate between months with forward and back controls, and each month displays every movie, TV show, and season premiere scheduled within that window. It is clean, fast, and makes discovering upcoming releases a joy rather than a chore.
Improvement
Redesigned Changelog System: Our changelog pages have been completely overhauled with a clean, versioned layout. Each release now has its own dedicated page with color-coded tags for New, Improvement, and Fix entries, making it easy to scan what changed at a glance. Navigation between versions is seamless. You can move forward and backward through releases with dedicated previous and next buttons at the bottom of every page, or jump back to the full changelog index to browse every version we have ever shipped.
