Taste matching works best when you rate with nuance
Apps that ask you to rapidly swipe thumbs-up or thumbs-down on hundreds of posters still do not know *why* you liked a film. Because moviemates.social records your scores across 10 distinct crafts, MovieMates picks and "What You’d Both Love" reflect the actual filmmaking qualities you and your mates care about.
Because moviemates.social is built in Melbourne for people who watch films with their mates, every tool in the app is wired to turn solo browsing into a shared experience with zero ads and zero subscription paywalls.
Built for the whole movie night lifecycle
From discovering a trailer on MovieMates TV and voting in Group Decisions to scanning your ticket at the cinema gate and sharing your review card afterwards, everything lives in one free app.
Once the credits roll, slide the relevant crafts out of 100, compare your Squad Rating Average (S.R.A), and export a one-tap Share Card for your story or group chat.
