Maimovie: AI Movie & TV Finder

Looking for saw X. Fairly popular film That just released. Your algorithm decided I was looking for every movie that had an “X” oh the title.

When I first downloaded this app, I was very happy with it. This latest update has left me seething. I am being forced to fill out a huge questionnaire on my tastes, and am being blocked from keyword searching. All I want to know is whether a particular movie is available to stream. I don’t want to create an immediate, large data dump for the recommendation engine. Stop trying to force me to hand over a pile of data from the get. Let *me* choose what type of search I want.

I’m a filmmaker and designer. This app is right within my demographic. But I have no idea what, exactly, it’s meant to do? The interface is overly simplistic and also utterly archaic so I really have no clue what purpose it even fulfills. As a database, it’s poorly constructed. IMDb functions more easily. As a recommendation generator it has failed to give me anything other than insanely popular films I’ve already rated in the app. As a review site, it’s difficult to even use. Letterboxd is much more welcoming. Perhaps with a more elegant tutorial and introduction this may do something. But as is, this was no good.
