How it works
How FriendFlix works
FriendFlix rests on a simple idea: what you loved says far more about your taste than what happens to be trending this week. You rate, the app keeps track of where you are, and recommendations are built from your ratings, not from a catalogue someone needs to shift.
1. You rate what you have seen
Rating takes one tap, from search or from your tracking screen. Films, TV shows, video games and books share one scale, so a novel and a season can be compared on the same axis. About thirty ratings are enough for suggestions to become useful; below that, the app tells you rather than guessing.
2. Your progress keeps itself up to date
For a show, FriendFlix remembers the season and episode you reached. The tracking screen therefore always shows what you have left to watch, what has just aired, and the shows you drifted away from. No more reopening a streaming service just to find where you stopped.
3. Recommendations come out of your ratings
From your history, FriendFlix builds a taste profile: favoured genres, appetite for demanding storytelling, sensitivity to pacing. Every suggestion arrives with the reason it was picked for you. You can rate it straight from the card, without opening the detail view, which sharpens the profile as you go.
4. You compare with friends
Crossed profiles overlay two or more histories to surface what will land with everyone. It is the answer to the half hour spent scrolling a catalogue together without starting anything.
Frequently asked questions
How many ratings does it take to work?
About thirty already gives useful results, and accuracy keeps improving from there. If you kept the archive you exported from TV Time before it shut down, the import rebuilds your history in one go and you start with a full profile.
Do I have to rate things to use the tracker?
No. Show tracking works on its own: you can mark episodes without ever leaving a rating. Ratings only feed the recommendations.
Is FriendFlix free?
Yes, entirely, and with no advertising.
Are my ratings public?
No. Your history is private by default. You choose who you connect with, and therefore whose profile yours can be crossed with.
Your ratings stay yours.
