Taste: Movie & TV Suggestions

A fun app where you can save, give reactions to movies and tv-shows and recommend those to others.

Yet another great idea ruined by mediocre investors

I love the app. I've been using the service since the website came out! My only request (for now at least) is that you are able to deeplink to a movie page. The share button currently links to the AppStore page so it's hard to share movies with friends.

Only app that I’m OK with paying. Have found several good movies.

I rarely write any reviews, but this app is not taking the recognition it deserves, everything is so good it helps me every time finding a new movie that I’ll definitely like

I like this app and use it quite a bit. However, there are some inherent problems. First off, did you know that “Wonka”, “The Waterboy” and “Elf” are all Asian Dramas? Yeah, me neither. But this app says they are. Oh, and “Billy Madison”, “Avengers: Endgame” and “The Color Purple” are all Bollywood Movies … So, it seems as though their metrics are a little off. The app is a good idea, just not executed well.

It’s a great idea on the surface, but the main reason I was interested was so my partner and I could each have our own profiles and then combine to see what to watch next (like the app was advertised to me to be able to do), but I’ve looked all over and can’t find a way to get an invite code or add a partner after both your accounts are set up. Very disappointing.

I love the way this app functions as both a diary of media I’ve watched and a database for info on movies I want to watch. It tells me how well I match the movie, who I should watch it with, pacing (so I know if I can play on my phone while I watch), and a lot more. It also keeps tabs of movies that my partner and I have both put on our “to watch” list, and curates a “movies in common” list for us to pick from!

There is one problem though… it’s extremely addicting!!! Every time I wanna watch a movie but unsure if it’s worth the watch, I check Taste! This is by far one of my top 5 favorite apps I have and im obsesseddd. I always enjoy writing reactions and it’s an easy way to find all different types of movies. 100% recommend!

RE-UPDATE App used to have five stars, and I used to use this app religiously. It was awesome and whenever there was a new update it wouldn’t be mandatory, I would use the app as is. But I am not a fan of this new dystopian tactic apps are taking to force consumers to update. It’s VERY aggressive. I couldn’t just use the older one without the new features on my iPhone 12 pro max? It has nothing to do with size of updates but more so the design philosophy -the fact that you think you know what’s better for the consumer and don’t give us an option. I will update as I please, I was content with the service being offered (even with my data being collected) so I didn’t see a need to jump to the next update. And what’s funny is that the old version of my app worked absolutely fine. I never updated it and now all of a sudden I can’t even open the app, it just auto routes me to the App Store. The fact that you’re even allowed to do that and re-write the rules after I already agreed to your old terms of service is wrong. Imagine this: I go to a grocery store and they offer me an orange as a free gift, I go home don’t eat it immediately and then a few days later the salesman comes to my house, puts that orange in a lockbox and tells me I can’t eat it until I sign new paperwork. The orange is literally right there. Nothing has changed with the orange it’s still the same orange (me not updating the app). Eventually anything I was ever gifted for free or even things I paid for - their old owners start coming up to me saying, “new rules or you can’t use X Y or Z, and you don’t have a choice, either you agree or you can’t use this anymore”. And just like the orange in this scenario it’s not that big of an investment for me to be too concerned about, I’ll just leave the orange in the lockbox and let it rot. As a producer and engineer myself I enjoy products as IS, if it works I don’t tamper with it unless I know that the next version is stable, I like to wait. As a company I understand you write your terms in a way where consumers like me don’t even have these rights to older software, but again I can live without this app. Even though it was great! It’s not about taking up space on my phone, it’s about forcing users to update because you think you know what’s best for them -despite the old app working perfectly fine with less features. I just won’t be using this service any more as unfortunate as it is. ____________ UPDATE STOP FORCING USERS TO UPDATE!!! It alie
