About

Somto

Features
Read full description

Somto learns your taste from what you watch and recommends movies and shows on any streaming service. Netflix recommends Netflix. Somto recommends what you'll like: it starts from everything you've watched and puts the platforms you use most first. Nobody pays us to recommend a title. Mark what you watch, episode by episode, and rate it from 1 to 10 if you like. The more you log, the more the recommendations feel like you. Already have a history? Import it from Netflix, Trakt, Letterboxd or a TV Time export. On a show's page you see the community rating, how many people make it to the end and where others stop. If someone you follow started it or dropped it, you'll see that too. New episodes, upcoming seasons, release dates and trailers for the movies and shows you follow. You get a notification. Discussions are on each episode or the whole title, and what you haven't watched yet stays hidden. Lists work like Spotify playlists: private, shared with a group or public. In messages you recommend a title to a friend and talk about it there. And with more than 10,000 quiz questions you challenge the people you follow. You don't watch anything on Somto: it tells you what to watch and where to find it. Somto is an independent project born in Italy. It's updated often, and many new features come from requests by the people who use it.
