### 1/5 — You have to pay for every single movie!

*2019-06-25, version 1.4.0*

You can’t watch any movie you want, it chooses a random one and you have to pay for all of them

### 4/5 — Helps stir your noggin

*2014-09-26, version 1.0*

First impression is that it takes too long to load. Then when you select your Mood and Genre it takes a while to load but not quite as long as starting the app. All of this leads to the anticipation of a great movie selection. 

I selected "couples" as my mood because I never know what to watch with my wife and the Genre was "mystery." It recommended a movie called Exotica. It's about a guy who owns a nightclub and jealously watches his ex-girlfriend perform nightly. My wife would absolutely hate it. 

Try again and it recommends a Charlie Sheen movie with aliens. What a mystery indeed. 

I change the Genre to "thriller" and get the Sixth Sense. I would not have thought of that on my own and it certainly is a good choice.

As far as recommendations, I was hoping the mood options would include mental states like angry, happy, relaxed, excited, depressed, motivated, learning. So for example if I was depressed then it would recommend a comedy. 

Also, an option that limits suggestions to what is available on Netflix or Hulu might be useful to many people. 

Overall this is a fun app and I'm glad something like this is out now. Thanks!
