Great recommendations deserve better than a chat thread
Tips get buried. By Friday you're searching again. Friends Recommend turns those tips into a watchlist you can actually use.
- 01
Over dinner
Mentioned once, then the conversation moves on.
- 02
Later in WhatsApp
Buried under work chats and voice notes.
- 03
Friday night
You want to watch. The tip is already gone.
“You need to watch Slow Horses.”
Mentioned over dinner. Sent later in WhatsApp. Forgotten by Friday night.
With Friends Recommend
Saved
Keep it, share it, add it to your watchlist — then open Tonight when you're ready. No searching. No wondering.

How to recommend movies to friends
6 tips so your picks actually get watched — not buried in chat.
Share. Save. Watch.
Three things the app is built for — so movie night stops being a search problem.
01
Share great recommendations
Send friends titles you love — with your rating and a personal note — and get the same back from people whose taste you trust.
02
Build a watchlist worth watching
Keep the great stuff in one place: what friends sent, what you want next, and where each title is streaming.
03
Never wonder what to watch
Open Tonight and pick from your watchlist and friend activity. No hunting. No endless scroll.
Recommendations worth sharing
Send a title with your rating and a personal note — and get the same back. Every recommendation keeps the person, what they said, and where it streams. Not a poster grid. Not a chat burial.

Watchlist
A watchlist of great things — with the friend tip still attached
Save what friends recommend and what you want next. Their rating and personal comment stay on the title — so you remember why it made the list, and where it streams.
Friend recommendations land on your watchlist with who sent them.
Keep the why — their score and comment stay with the title.
See where it’s streaming before you sit down.
Tonight
Never wonder what to watch again
Tonight shows what friends have loved, are watching, or saved — alongside your watchlist. Open the app. Pick. Press play. No searching, no endless scroll.
Friends loved

Start your own watchlist
Save three great titles today, then invite one person whose taste you trust. Sharing starts — and your watchlist fills — without needing a big social network.
01
Start your watchlist
Save titles for yourself from day one — no friends required to begin.
02
Save three titles
Keep the ones you keep meaning to watch, with where they stream.

Not another film diary. Not another streaming search.
