## What is Tastemaker?

Finally. One place for everything you love.

Rate movies, TV shows, and books, all in one feed. Build a shelf that says something about who you are. Follow friends with great taste. Discover your next obsession through the people who know you best.

Introducing Tastemaker Studios.
Your taste should do more than sit in a feed. With Studios, members put real money behind emerging filmmakers and authors and vote on what gets made. You get a say in the next great films and books, instead of leaving it to an algorithm. Join now and you're one of the first 1,000, with a free vote in our very first grant cycle.

The Line - our daily movie game. Guess if the critic's score is over or under, beat the clock, build your streak, top the leaderboard.

Earn your place.
Unlock Achievements as you rate, share, and bring friends in. The first members to arrive become Founding Members, and that never expires.

Why Tastemaker:
- Movies, TV, and books in one taste profile. No more juggling Letterboxd for film and Goodreads for books.

- A feed driven by the people you trust, not a black box.
- A shelf worth sharing.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-06-16*

This app is tremendous, I love everything about it, and am recommending to everyone single person I know!

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2026-05-29*

As a user of Goodreads and Letterboxd who's been trying to figure out how to track TV shows, this app looked interesting so I downloaded it to try it out. I clicked "Continue as Guest" and got an error "Unable to load feed: HTTP Error: 401" with the screen flashing and glitching out.

Based on that, I don't really trust the rest of the app to be functional. I could sign up for an account, but phone number is required (no email address option), and I don't really want to give my phone number out without being able to try the app first. Oh well.

**Developer response:** Hi there! Thank you for downloading. This was a bug that we missed that is fixed now. You can search around and see how the app looks in guest mode. Also, we'll look into allowing for alternative ways to create account besides just phone number. Please give it another shot and let us know if you have more feedback!

### 5/5 — FINALLY

*2026-05-09*

I was so sick of letterboxd and goodreads ux being impossible to use and having to go back and forth between the apps to track and rate what I’m reading and watching. I’m so happy I can do it all under 1 roof PLUS tv. Thank you to whoever made this amazing app!!

### 5/5 — Love this

### 5/5 — Tastemaker is a game changer!

*2026-02-14*
