This would be an awesome change
We would also need this feature/improvement
This is unlikely to happen since it draws on some open source data sources including wikidata from memory. Nothing sources from imdb, so unless someone updates these sources it doesn't show from what I understand

Does someone actually look at any of these issues??
I also would like to know ;-) The site says : "...all content and images on the site are contributed and maintained by our users." Who are they ? Where can we reach the community that maintains the database ?
I don't often see the owner of the app responding to these messages, more so the community which is why I dropped financial support. As to updating data etc, search these issues for wikidata (I think) and you may find some of the other sources. I tried updating the Readme on this site to list the sources that had been acknowledged about a year ago but this change was rejected so I guess we can remain oblivious. Good luck

@tgreve15 I searched "wikidata" and didn't come up with any of the other sources. Do you recall any of them?
I am certain there was more before, but I can't find the comments now either. The closest I see is the following from #88
@svzi Just because it's on IMDb doesn't mean my API will have it, I get data from a lot of different sources, none of which are IMDb.
These titles (Afflicted, Insatiable) were shortly added to Wikidata.org after you opened this issue (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q56054858) of which my API was automatically updated the next time they were requested.
Another option could be to use The Movie DB, although it seems like all their data is manually contributed by members using the service, not coming through any external sources like WikiData. That API is also closed, but at least you know where all the data is sourced from. :)

I should say that the TMDB API is more open than this - there is no request limit or payment required. It also has more features. All the popular shows will be updated for sure.
"The Mandalorian", premiered yesterday. OMDB api has no information today on IMDd rating and we are unsure when the information will be refreshed.
"Joker" was released in October, the IMDB rating information on OMDB api today is missing 90,000 votes.
For me, and maybe for many of us, it is important that we get as much as possible accurate and up to date ratings.
Could we perhaps have new/hot premiers updated once a day? They can slowly be phased out to update every 2, 3 days, etc. This was an idea somebody mentioned earlier in one of the posts here.
