Stop scrolling. Start swiping.
MovieSwipe is an iPhone app for deciding what to watch. You swipe right on films you like and left on the ones you don't. It learns from every swipe, keeps films you've already seen or skipped out of your feed, and filters everything down to the streaming services you actually pay for. You can also just describe what you're in the mood for — "something funny for date night", "a dark thriller" — instead of setting filters one dropdown at a time.
The problem MovieSwipe solves
Most people don't have a shortage of films to watch. They have a decision problem. A streaming home screen shows a few hundred titles at once, and comparing a few hundred options is far more expensive, mentally, than answering a few hundred yes-or-no questions. So the browsing drags on, gets harder the longer it lasts, and a meaningful share of evenings end with nothing watched at all.
MovieSwipe replaces the browsing with a sequence of binary choices. One film at a time, roughly a second per title. And because it remembers, the feed gets better every time you use it rather than showing you the same catalogue again.
What MovieSwipe does
- Swipe to discover. Right for films you'd watch, left for the ones you wouldn't, up to mark one you've already seen. That's the whole interface.
- It learns your taste. Every swipe teaches it something. Films you've already liked, skipped or watched stay out of your feed, so you're never shown the same thing twice.
- Search by describing the mood. "Something funny for date night." "A dark thriller." "A hidden sci-fi gem." Describe what you feel like watching and the feed rebuilds around it — no genre dropdowns, no filter stacking.
- Filter by your streaming services. Tell MovieSwipe what you subscribe to and which region you're in, and it only shows films you can actually start tonight. No more finding the perfect film and discovering it's a €14 rental.
- Find similar films. Love something? Explore titles close to it and keep going.
- Watchlist and history. Save films for later, and keep a record of what you've already seen so you never have that "have we watched this?" conversation again.
Who it's for
MovieSwipe is built for the ten minutes before the film starts, not for cataloguing your viewing life. It's most useful if you have two or three streaming subscriptions and can't see across them, if you keep landing on the same recommendations, or if you open a streaming app, scroll for twenty minutes and close it again.
If what you want is a film-criticism community with reviews and lists, or a lookup tool for where a specific film is streaming worldwide, other apps do those jobs better — we compare them honestly on the comparison page.
Pricing
MovieSwipe is free to download and includes in-app purchases. Current subscription pricing is shown inside the app and on the App Store listing, since it varies by country and can change. Any subscription is handled by Apple and can be cancelled at any time in your Apple account settings.
