Rating your movies & shows has never been this addictive. - A rating system as unique as you Out of 20, out of 10, in stars: pick the rating system that feels like you! 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. On the TV side, get a fresh recommendation every month, picked by your Social Club. - Complete stats See your entire film (and TV) taste laid out in numbers: your favorite genres, your underrated and overrated picks, the decades you explore, the countries you discover, your total watch time... and so much more to uncover! - Badges that expand your horizons Unlock badges as you watch: Asian cinema, Cannes winners, David Fincher superfan, 90s movies... Explore worlds you might never have tried otherwise, and level up! Shows have their own badges to unlock too. - A watchlist you'll actually use Save your upcoming movies and shows to your watchlist: filter by genre, sort by date added or release date, get alerted when a movie you're waiting for hits theaters. No more 200-title lists forgotten in a corner! - Movie Night Not sure what to watch in theaters this week? Monca suggests THE movie to see, matched to your taste, solo or with your Social Club. One pick a month for everyone, unlimited with Monca+. - Poster of the Day Every day, rate the mystery movie poster and see how your score compares to the community's. A fun little ritual to go with your daily recommendation! - Monca+ Take it further: more daily recommendations, unlimited custom lists, weekly recommendations sent to your Social Club, release alerts for the movies you're waiting on, spotlight the actor or character who stood out to you in every movie or show, and unlimited Movie Night picks.
