It learns how you rate, not how everyone rates. Here's what happens between your first ten ratings and a recommendation you can trust.
Free on iPhone. Rate ten movies before you even make an account.
Every film you rate on the popcorn scale teaches poppd something. Not just "liked it" or "didn't", but how strongly, which genres, which eras, whether you finished it.
Ten ratings is enough to start. Fifty and it knows you well.
Some people hand out Popcorn Perfection freely. Some almost never do. poppd notices.
It checks its own predictions against the films you've already rated and works out what a strong match means for you specifically. A generous rater and a harsh one both get predictions that match how they'd actually score the film.
poppd looks for users whose ratings line up with yours across the films you've both seen, and treats their opinions as evidence. When eighteen people with your taste loved a film you haven't seen, that counts for more than a million strangers liking it.
You'll see who agrees with you, and where you part ways.
poppdAIOpen any film and ask Will I like it? poppdAI looks at the films you've loved and the ones you haven't, what your taste matches thought, and what it knows about the film itself: its tone, its pacing, who made it.
It tells you how you'd probably rate it, in your own popcorn levels, with two or three reasons in plain English. When it's guessing, it says so.
No black box. Each recommendation shows why: the people who agreed, the films it reminds us of, the feel of it, and what poppdAI thinks.
If the reasons don't convince you, dismiss it. poppd learns from that too.
It doesn't pretend. A match score is a compatibility score, not a promise. Early on, with few ratings and few taste matches, poppd says so and asks you to rate a few more. And the ranking underneath is built from your ratings, people like you, and poppdAI. Every card shows its reasons.
Free on iPhone. No streaming logins, no reviews to write, no algorithm you can't see.
iPhone now. Android later.
