The Movie Rating App Where Your Circle's Opinion Is the Algorithm
Most movie apps show you global averages. movienot shows you what your five closest friends actually thought. The difference is enormous.
There are dozens of movie rating apps — IMDb, Letterboxd, Rotten Tomatoes, JustWatch, Trakt. They all solve the same problem the same way: aggregate millions of ratings from strangers into a number. movienot takes a different approach. Instead of trusting the crowd, it trusts your circle. Rate movies with one tap. See what your actual friends thought. Discover films through the people whose taste you've calibrated over years.

Why movienot uses four reactions instead of stars
Every star rating system has the same flaw: everyone uses stars differently. A 4/5 from one person might mean "one of the best things I've ever seen." From another, it means "pretty solid." movienot uses four reactions that mean the same thing to everyone: Must — Essential. Watch this immediately. Good — Solid. Really enjoyed it. Ok — Fine. Wouldn't push anyone. Pass — Skip it. Saved you two hours.
