Feature Night
Read full descriptionHide full description
Feature Night is a shared watchlist for the people you watch with. Make a group with your household or your friends, see what everyone wants to watch and what they thought of it, and let one button settle what's on tonight. No more scrolling while everyone says "I don't mind." WATCH GROUPS Make a group for the people you actually watch with. Share a watchlist, recommend things to each other, argue about them in the group chat, and see what everyone thought afterwards. RATINGS FROM PEOPLE YOU KNOW A 92% from strangers tells you less than a 4-star from your sister. Every title carries a Group Rating alongside the critics score, so you can see what the people you watch with actually thought. PICK FOR GROUP When nobody can decide, one button will. It doesn't pick the highest average — it picks the film the least happy person in the room can live with, which is how the argument actually ends. It tells you why it chose what it chose. FOR FAMILIES A watch group can be told there's a child in it. Anything added above that group's rating waits for a manager's approval before anyone sees it — whoever added it. Accounts belonging to teenagers are never offered R, NC-17 or TV-MA titles, anywhere in the app. ON YOUR SERVICES Tell it what you subscribe to and it will stop suggesting things you'd have to rent. Or don't, and see everything. Feature Night is free, has no ads, and doesn't sell your data. You can delete your account and everything in it from Settings, immediately. This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB.
