Problems with lists on mobile

I tried to link to one of my lists in a text, but when I did so, I found that there were some deficiencies to how it displays in the mobile app as compared to how it displays on the desktop site.

The list I was looking at was https://www.imdb.com/list/ls072001581/ . The problems are:

  1. Each of the films on the list has a comment along the following lines: "Released theatrically with Snowball Express (1972)." However, on mobile, it displays as "Released theatrically with tt0069291." Displaying the title constant is a lot less user-friendly than displaying the titles being referenced.
  2. On mobile, the title of the list does not appear, nor does the three-paragraph description/explanation of the list, nor does my username as the creator of the list. So when I sent the link to the list to another person in a text, I realized that the recipient wouldn't see anything that explained the point of the list.

Depends how the list is opened on their phone. I don't see any problems in a mobile browser on iPhone. In the iPhone app I see the title, the description and the referenced titles displayed, though not as links. I don't see the username.

@Peter_pbn​ Thanks. To be specific, I'm using an Android phone, so this may be an Android-specific problem that does not affect iPhone users.

@gromit82 ,

Your list looks fine in the browser:

https://www.imdb.com/list/ls072001581/

or

https://m.imdb.com/list/ls072001581/

However, I'm also seeing the same problem with your list with the IMDb Android App.

For instance:

The Magic of Walt Disney World

Released theatrically with tt0069291.

Death of the Red Planet

Release theatrically with tt0070940.

The title IDs correspond with the titles Snowball Express (1972) and Yessongs (1975)

but are not clickable.
