App Profile: Taste: Movie & TV Suggestions

I have always said I’m not a movie person because all the movies my family watched growing up (especially my brother close in age to me and a movie junkie) I disliked or was meh toward. Since getting the app, I have begun to find films and documentaries that are well recommended to my personal tastes. It’s also fun to run across other people in the app who share the same tastes as you. I always remind myself that somehow Bridesmaids is someone else’s guilt pleasure too. One thing that I would like to see in the future is the utility of the karma. Making people with high positive ratings “gurus” or adding in some level of at least making myself feel like I’m cool and know what I’m talking about in film. Also, maybe pair with a movie chain or something and get people to exchange karma for discounts or tickets to the movies?

This app is exceptionally good at its intended purpose, which is of course getting recommendations and reviews from other people of movies and TV shows you might like based on what you’ve already told the app you like/dislike. I know a mere personal gripe isn’t enough to say an app is subpar, but I gotta say I really don’t have anybody in my life atm who feels even remotely as passionate about movies as I do, and it does get kinda lonely sometimes. I found this app because I was looking at apps online that would maybe help me find friends through my taste in movies, not even necessarily a dating app or anything. But I was disappointed when I found out that wasn’t a part of this app. I know there’s Reddit and other platforms for stuff like that, but that’s not really a meeting people and making friends kinda site, more so just passively interacting. Imo it would just be nice to have some kind of feature to allow that, just because of how clear cut the purpose of this app already is and how well it could probably be integrated. Since it’s literally called “Taste” I’m sure if there was a way to talk to people about each other’s taste in movies a lot of friends could potentially be made. Just an idea I guess.

One thing i think it needs is either a fivestar rating system or an out of ten system. i also wish you could save movies to your want to watch list, and have them rated. sometimes i want to rewatch movies🤷‍♂️. Another change is the quick rate. It shows way too many movies I haven’t even heard of! If it would use the movies i’ve rated highly or the movies i’ve watched to show ones i might’ve seen, it would be awesome. Lastly, i’ve had problems searching a couple shows/movies. Either i have the title slightly off or the title is short and not specific enough. For example, if someone put demon killer, not remembering or knowing the title, it should show demon slayer as well. The other problems example is so. I was trying to find the horror movie “The Boy.” searching the boy doesn’t really help much since so much comes up. i tried putting in the director next to it but then nothing came up. i ended up having to search just the directors name, then scrolling through their movies to find the boy. this is too complicated. but i am genuinely enjoying this app a ton.
