### 5/5 — Best movie discovery app!

*2026-08-07*

Finally a movie discovery app that actually suggests new movies and shows I haven’t seen before. Not like all those other generic apps. It so fun to see your friend’s recommendations and their watch list!

### 5/5 — My favorite new app!

*2026-08-05*

I didn’t even know I needed this app, but a friend introduced me to it, and I can’t recommend it highly enough! It’s been a great way to track all of the movie recs I’ve saved across multiple Notes over the past few years, and I have gotten a number of movie recs I wouldn’t have found otherwise! The perfect fit for movie lovers or honestly for anyone looking to avoid the Friday night “what do you want to watch”.

### 5/5 — Really great app for cinephiles

*2026-07-29*

It’s been great! It’s great app to keep my watchlists and films that I’ve seen nice and organized!

### 5/5 — Cool movie suggestions!

*2026-07-28*

Cool app.  Very modern user interface and experience.  The app suggested many of my favorites before I could input them, and then quickly made some suggestions that I’d never heard from my usual Internet new movie and new TV sources!

### 5/5 — Must download for any movie lover

*2026-07-28*

Finally a replacement for Letterboxd with some much needed additional features! It’s got a super helpful recommendation engine that is strangely accurate. I've found a couple hidden gems through this that fit what preferences really well. Also some cool social features so when your friend watches The Room for the 23rd time you can roast them accordingly.

### 5/5 — For movie lovers!

*2026-07-28*

Great features that help make movie-watching a group activity.

### 5/5 — The NEW Facebook!

*2026-07-18*

This is exactly what I need! I’m always looking for great shows, and the fact that I can share with friends and look at what they’ve watched is so fantastic not only from the standpoint that it saves me time but also that I get to connect with them and discuss the show!
