I was really hoping for TV show suggestions. It only gives me the option to rate movies. The movies it wanted me to rate were 80s and 90s. I'm assuming that's based on age but I prefer modern shows so that was also a fail. Lastly, it gives like 8 genre options and none of them are normal options, like crime or drama. It's so weird! If I could at least limit my options to only TV show suggestions, I might give it another shot. It's a shame, I'd have bought premium if it was worth it.

Good recommendation engine. UI/UX design can use some improvements but functions well overall. Lightweight and fast (which is refreshing compared to IMDb's app). Much heavier on data use than I'd prefer. $20 for a year of premium is a bit much for only one bit of functionality which should probably be standard but unfortunately I don't have any more suggestions. Devs not responding to a review when explicitly asked loses a star.

If you like movies and shows but you hate having to comb though netflix to find something you'll like, this is the app for you. Just rate some movies that you've seen, and it'll give you personalized recommendations that you can save to your watchlist. In my experience, these recommendations tend to be very accurate to my Taste, lol.
