Ratings are how Filmtally learns your taste. They decide which directors and films your recommendations start from, which of your watchlist films comes up first tonight, and what your stats say about you.

So rating is kept fast. The day after a pick, Filmtally asks once whether you watched it: rate it from 1 to 10, say not yet, or say you skipped it. Any other film takes two taps.

  1. Rate in two taps

    Open any film, mark it watched and set a score from 0 to 10 in half steps. Add the date you watched it, or A long time ago for old favourites.

  2. Watch the taste meter fill

    The taste meter shows how well Filmtally knows you: Getting to know you, then Learning at 10 ratings, Tuned at 25 and Dialled in at 50.

    For You on a phone: search and mood chips above the taste meter and recommended films, each with a one-line reason
  3. See it add up

    Your ratings become your stats: average rating, favourite genres and decades, and how your taste compares with the Filmtally community.
