Ratings and Reviews
I love this app
Honestly, I’m a movie buff and love re-watching the same movies with new perspectives. Sometimes it's hard to remember all of my favorite movies or tv shows. I use this app to save shows that I've watched, want to watch, or rewatch. I love the grouping of recommendations based on your saves, for example, “my favorite comedy shows and movies.” I tend to do this on my own time, but I think it could go further, like when I'm in the mood for empowering movies with a strong female lead in business. It could, for example, recommend The Devil Wears Prada and The Intern, two of my favorites. Or if I want to watch movies based in Paris, it could group recommend Pixar's Ratatouille with another Paris-based movie. Or even groupings based on classic chick flicks. I understand this would take a lot more time, and you would probably would to have someone physically creating collections, as opposed to Ai like I think it is now. But hey, if you're interested in I’m all on board. Overall I love this app. It’s free, and if you watch movies or tv shows, I don’t see any reason not to use it!
Hit or Miss
Some of the features on this app are pretty good. I especially like the option to ask specific questions and get recommendations from other users. But when it comes to the “today” page, it’s a complete hit or miss. Some days they’ll only show me 3 or 4 movies, and none of them will be even close to things I like (which is super frustrating because you have to wait a full 24 hours for new ones.) But other days I’ll get 6 or 7 that are great. It’s also annoying that they ask me to choose from podcasts every day, even though I clearly don’t like podcasts, as I haven’t saved a single one. Yet they will show me literally zero books, even though I have multiple lists full of novels. Basically, the user recommendation feature is great, but the algorithm is mediocre at best. Beyond that, this app also just has a bunch of little problems that altogether make it annoying to use. The biggest one is that if your post exceeds a certain character limit, it just shows a “...” but there’s no way to view the full thing. You also can’t comment on a move or book unless you’ve liked it, and it sometimes crashes. It’s also pretty stupid that they mark it as 12+ but if you aren’t at least 13 you can’t even make an account, this didn’t effect me but it did effect my brother and that’s just dumb. Among other smaller problems. Just needs some updating for sure.

No negative reviews allowed
I don’t know if anyone else has this problem but for me it doesn’t seem like this app is a fan of negative reviews. I tried to leave a negative review on a book that was genuinely bad, I feel like I was just being honest and not overwhelmingly mean (this is the review I wrote)“This is one of the worst books I’ve ever read. Specifically what I hated about this book is that it was all filler. Halfway through the book there’s a bit about marks backstory and it was multiple chapters when it really could’ve just been one, the author just restated the same things over and over similar to how you would in an essay that wasn’t long enough (i suspect the overwhelming amount of filler is because he had a page count to reach) this is basically how the entire book was too. The unnecessary information genuinely upset set me to the point I almost gave up reading this. The worst part had to be at the “end”where you can tell this was actually how the book was supposed to end but then there is just an extra 119pages of filler (i am once again assuming he had some sort of page count to reach) I only got this book because another book this author wrote was really good (orsk) come to find out it was almost entirely ripped off of a creepypasta about a forever expanding ikea.” It would not let me post any negative reviews but when I tried posting a simple “i liked this book” it was allowed

Hi Sam! You should have totally been able to post this review with any star rating you selected. Did you get an error message by chance? Sounds like something was just disconnected when trying to post. We're happy to take a look more closely if you share your account details with support@likewise.com. Thank you!
