According to Downdetector, 70% of reported problems involved the Letterboxd app, while 11% related to login issues and 10% affected the website. Users reported being unable to open the app, refresh film pages, or access their watchlists. The outage quickly gained attention on social media, with users using X and other platforms to share their frustrations. One user wrote, \"Guys is Letterboxd down?? I was about to log the movie but the app won't open.\" Downdetector's public comment section filled with similar reactions, with users expressing their frustration at having to visit Downdetector instead of Letterboxd. The platform has since acknowledged the issue, posting an image of Spider-Man with the caption \"Hang in there\" and a message stating that their team is working to restore access as soon as possible.",
