You can even rate in advanced mode, breaking it down by: Direction, acting, sound design, cinematography, story. Every movie makes you feel something different, so why rate them all the same way? - TV shows have landed on Monca Track your shows, episode by episode. Rate each one, and let Monca calculate the season average, then the show average, or override it with your own score if you'd rather. Tell us if an episode left you needing to jump straight into the next one with our cliffhanger meter, a first of its kind. Your status (caught up, on hold, finished...) updates itself, and you get notified the moment a new episode drops. Import your entire TV Time history in one tap (if you managed to export it before it shut down...). - Your Social Club, not your feed Follow your friends or your favorite movie and TV buffs, and find their reviews in your Social Club. Compare your ratings on the same movie or show, get their recommendations, and recommend a movie or show yourself to the people who follow you. On the TV side, an adaptive spoiler-protection system keeps your progress safe. - A daily recommendation, picked for you Come back to Monca every day to see which movie is recommended for you, based on the genres you love, your Social Club's reviews, your favorite decades, and more.
