ViewBuddy: Rate & Review beta - TestFlight

After months of working on this app, i created viewbuddy which gives a social aspect to rating and reviewing shows/movies. I saw other apps like this but wanted to create a twist. Would be curious to see what you think about it.

I made ViewBuddy, an iPhone app for finding what to watch through friends

I built ViewBuddy because movie/show discovery still feels oddly disconnected from the people you actually watch things with.

The app is for:

- seeing what friends are watching, rating, and reviewing

- comparing taste before you trust a recommendation

- building watchlists and playlists

- browsing as a guest before deciding whether to create an account

I'm the developer, and I'm looking for practical feedback from people who try a lot of mobile apps:

  1. Is the purpose clear in the first minute?

  2. Does the feed feel useful before you have a lot of friends on it?

  3. What would make you invite one friend?

  4. Does anything feel confusing, slow, or unnecessary?

No pressure to be nice. Specific criticism is much more useful than generic encouragement.
