Hi PH fam!

How long have you spent looking for a movie to watch? My record must be 1 hour and 30 minutes. In the end I settled with watching local Swedish TV-shows instead... That's why I ended up making this app, so I could finally start watching instead of searching. 😅

With Show Me a Movie you can: - Results from an always growing database of movies and series - Filter by rating, watch provider based on your country, original languages, genre and more. - Collection popcorn!

Share your worst picks when a movie-or-series-selecting adventure ended in a "Let's just pick this movie or series and watch it"!

Hi!

I just installed the app. But there is an error: status_code":408," status_message. request timed out

By the way, can you explain a bit about the gamification you did through collecting popcorn?

Hi @elyar_mohammadzadeh! It seems like your phone cannot connect to tMDB api, do you still encounter this error? What region are you based in? :)

Of course! It’s quite simple. Every free app that uses ads as revenue mostly displays them whenever, and I feel this not only annoys the user, but it also destroys the flow and design of the app. So instead of doing that, I tried to introduce something different (but not so different in the gaming world). While I could have just had a counter adding up whenever an ad has been shown, that did not satisfy my needs of watching an ad. And if I didn’t satisfy my needs, why would it satisfy my users? So the physicsbased popcorns were born :) it just works as a soft currency for the app. So in short: instead of watching an ad every 10th result, why not make it more fun with popcorn?

If I didn’t understand your question correctly, or if you have another, just keep asking and I’ll be glad to answer them 😄

This is huge problem, I wish if the app takes into account the 'my watch history to better recommend'

@medha_shamanth thank you for your feedback. I had an idea of introducing a filter as optional that it picks movies based on something like this, to get more results based on what the user would like. So you could either get total random results, or activate so the results try to find what you would like above the currently applied filtering. Hopefully I could add such a feature in the future!
