### 4/5 — Great app but need improvement

*2026-06-05, version 2.6.0*

In terms of functionality this is a very good app for what it does. However, I think it needs an overhaul of UI design at this point with iOS apps heading into displaying glass effect. Design looks outdated.

### 3/5 — Loved it, though fear it now lacks updates

*2026-04-27, version 2.6.0*

I once rated this as 5 stars, I loved it and still use it all the time. But now I haven’t seen any sort of update in years. They used to send a yearly email detailing the sort of things they were looking to implement in the year ahead. Even the compiled yearly list of when films came out that I have seen is only showing up to 2024. 
Is this app dead? Is it still being updated? There hasn’t even been a review in a year

### 5/5 — Great way to track what you watch

*2026-01-28, version 2.6.0*

If you bounce around between shows and like to remember if you’ve seen a movie, or have movies suggested to you by similar viewers likes, this is for you. My favorite part is being able to track which episodes I last watched.

### 2/5 — App has lost its luster

*2025-12-29, version 2.6.0*

When I originally got this app I was very happy with the features and the idea of building your “Taste” profile. However over the last year, there have been no improvements to the app. The recommendations haven’t gotten anymore accurate as I’ve built my profile. Match percentages are often wrong or misleading. The sync function does not work for streaming services and has never been fixed. This app has so much potential. I feel like Taste is missing their opportunity to become a household name in movie and TV recommendations.

### 2/5 — Don’t have old school movies

*2025-11-19, version 2.6.0*

I’m wanting to find more movies similar to the ones I’ve watched and seen (old school 1930s-90s movies) but the layout that decides what movie genres and concepts your into isn’t very thorough shows you a few modern ones and that’s all. If your looking for more suggestions that match your neiche you won’t be satisfied yet I hope they can fix it maybe with some ai to tailor to people’s tastes

### 1/5 — App sucks

*2025-11-12, version 2.6.0*

It gives you nothing

### 4/5 — Great app, but no way to remove followers

*2025-10-18, version 2.6.0*

I love using this app to find new movies/shows and to keep track of the ones I have already watched. The only thing that really irritates me is the fact that there are only 4 options when rating something. I feel like having an option in the middle for “okay” movies/shows would be great. Not sure why they decided to use 4 stars instead of the basic 5 star system.

Edit: Anither thing I’ve noticed is that there’s no option to remove a follower. Unless the other person decides to unfollow you, you are stuck with them. Even “block/flag” doesn’t remove them. Please add a way to remove people!!! 🙏🙏

### 4/5 — My one downfall…

*2025-10-11, version 2.6.0*

Please PLEASE give us more characters to write reviews. When I read reviews on this app it feels so vague and uninspiring. I can only correlate this with the amount of characters used because when you read reviews on apps such as letterboxd, you can read the passion for movies in their writing. I envy that they can fully articulate their opinion on that app without being restricted. 

You could say “why don’t you just use Letterboxd then”, and thats a fair thing to say. However, I prefer every other feature on this app and it’s the one I have been using for years so I would prefer this app to tweak this one issue that would greatly improve the experience over abandoning the app altogether.

### 4/5 — needs more

*2025-09-26, version 2.6.0*

this would be perfect if the app also tracked your top actors and composers as well as the directors.

### 4/5 — Exactly what I want, but needs some updates.

*2025-09-05, version 2.6.0*

Exactly what I want for movie recommendations, but some of the extra features still don’t feel fully refined. The Crunchyroll section is all messed up.
