Friendspire: Movies, TV, Books Reviews

by Cuffsaddy

Solid app, would be better if there were more users for more ratings of course. there’s a weird error message when i tried to search but it still let me search, so no big deal. I love the idea behind it though, great potential here to build on.

It's different from other apps in that you get to see reviews on multiple categories: movies, tv shows, podcasts, books, and food and drinks. And you can also invite friends! I like that you can filter movies and tv shows by either streaming service or genre. This makes it a lot easier when you need to decide what to watch.
I also like that it has lists like "trending movies," "all-time greatest movies," and "recommended by critics." And you really feel a genuine connection as you read the reviews. Overall, a wonderful app that makes you feel like you're looking at fun suggestions from friends.

So much easier to find things to watch, and I love reading people’s reviews! Way less sterile than your typical Yelp review, plus the lists are a home run!!!

this app is amazing... it solves all my issues regarding bad reviews or simply those from people that I don’t trust. Whenever I need inspiration for what to watch, books or podcasts, this app is my go-to!

I only heard of feiendspire and its concept a couple of days ago and am actually very impressed. Friendspire has some of the best user-friendly features and I’ve gotten some great recommendations from its lists ! Great stuff.

My favorite part of an evening with friends is when the conversation drifts to talking about favorite movies, shows, books, or restaurants. Who better to turn me on to new things than the people I know best, and who know me best? That’s why they’re my friends, right?

I generally avoid social media because it’s so impersonal. There’s an illusion of closeness that just doesn’t do it for me. I was thrilled to discover Friendspire because it takes a specific aspect of my personal network and amplifies it by providing recommendations I know I can trust (I’m looking at you, Yelp), right here in my pocket.

And this app does this well. I especially like the bookmarking feature. I was always having a hard time keeping track of random notes about shows to see or places to go, but this app lets me keep a list right alongside my recommendations.

Minor nit: when inviting friends vial email, the subject header should populate with something more enticing than “view profile”... am I revealing my age that I still use email to invite people?

Wow! Friendspire is super helpful to find cool places to dine out. I also never pick random spots, as I prefer to make a safe bet on dishes that are recommended by people I know, and Friendspire just does that for me! Same thing for the movies I like! My friends are the best ones to recommend quality stuff!!!

Friendspire is perfect because you don’t need to scroll through a bunch of reviews from random people you don’t necessarily trust; this way it’s so easy to know the best places/movies/etc. that trusted friends would recommend!

Although the option to find more than just books I find Friendspire very helpful in finding recommendations for books.

I’ve used Friendspire across the board— when I was looking for a restaurant in Rome, to help sort through all the TV in quarantine, and to stock up on books for long haul flights! Consider this your guidebook to life, curated by your friends!!!

Everything my friends are reading / watching /listening to in one place. You can see exactly which services things are streaming on.

this app is an application that you can trust. I always say “why would I care about random people writing reviews” because I don’t. I care about people I trust and their opinions and this app gave me a platform to see it in action. Makes my life easier and Friendspire looks awesome!

Friendspire has made picking out movie nights and finding a good podcast to listen to a breeze. The amount of recommendations isn’t overwhelming, and you are able to see what your close friends are watching/reading/listening! The interface is super easy to use and overall just a great app.

I’m the kind who spends hours browsing through Netflix recommendations and Googling stuff to decide what to watch. This helps me with amazing recommendations according to my likes and filters and also helps me share and receive recommendations from my friends! The books and podcasts section is also so informative. Absolutely love Friendspire !

Stop looking for recommendations in different apps and websites head straight over to this app because they truly have it all! They are cutting through the noise and giving you REAL recommendations by following your closest friends! I love Friendspire because it makes it simple, clean and fun! Download this app you won’t be sorry✨💜

Friendspire has saved me so much time from endless Netflix/iTunes scrolling. Thanks to the this app’s recommendations I’ve been delighted to come across amazing books, series and movies that otherwise I’d never think of reading or watching on my own. I actually love reading my friend’s reviews and sharing with them my own take as well. This is a must quarantine app and I highly recommend it.

by Carterabass

All existing review based apps suffer from the same problem, the source is dubious at best. Friendspire solves this problem by sourcing reviews from a list of people you can curate yourself. If any other apps do this, and I’m not aware of it then they’re doing a poor job. Also, having anything that can be reviewed all in one app makes the user experience so much better. Kudos. this app is where it’s at.

by FriendspireFan

I’ve been using this app for the past many months and love everything about it! The concept of relying on reviews from your friends really resonates with me and I’m enjoying finding people to follow who share my taste in movies, books or restaurants!

The apps continues to become better and better for every new version coming out and really excited to see trailers and streaming integration added in the latest version 🙏

I downloaded Friendspire because I have more choices than ever before in what to watch, eat, and do but was still going to the same restaurants and watching the same reruns. I use it a lot for finding good suggestions from my friends and then keeping a running list of bookmarks I can return back to when I need it. It saves me time, but more importantly it gets me out of my routine and makes life more colorful :)

“Have you seen this movie?”, “Did you eat good places lately?”, “Which podcasts are you currently listening to?”

Typical questions you would ask friends or family, but you don’t always want to ask all before making a decision. Perhaps you ask one friend and find a review online where you get opinions of people you don’t know.

this app gives you all options to get a quick review of what friends and family recommends. Easy and convenient!
