I have two requests, which are sort of related.
1) Please add the functionality in the mobile app to sync and then access in the app, the custom filters that have been saved on the desktop version. For example, I have a custom filter set that shows only Blu-ray titles, and another one that shows Blu-ray titles that are part of The Criterion Collection. There appears to be no way to apply these filters on the mobile app.
2) I thought a way to do this would be to add a filter in the mobile app, choose "title" and click "contains", then type in the word "criterion." However, when adding a filter for titles containing "criterion", the app shows 0 entries. But if I open my collection, and click on the 39 Steps, the title field shows "The 39 Steps: The Criterion Collection." So this title contains the word "criterion" in its title, yet when filtering the word "Criterion" this title is not shown (nor are any other movies with "criterion" in the title). I can only assume this means the filter by "title contains" function does not actually work. I would like to request this be fixed.

Being able to view which blu-rays I own, and specifically which Criterion blu-rays I own is the only reason I purchased the mobile app, yet there appears to be no way to view these when I am out somewhere without access to the desktop version.

I would like to add that I'm not interested in any workaround that requires manually adding each criterion blu-ray to a specific collection or list.

Thanks

It appears that searches/filters on the desktop work differently to those on the iOS app.

On the desktop, searching in the title includes searching the edition field as well. However, the iOS app only searches the title field, and not the edition field.

Strictly speaking "The Criterion Collection" is not part of the title, so I guess, strictly speaking, the iOS definition is correct, while the desktop definition of "title" is a bit looser.
