Rank what you watch.
Know what to watch next.
Make friends along the way.
Rank every movie and show you've seen into S–F tiers. MoviePal turns those rankings into recommendations you'll actually love, then matches you with people whose taste lines up with yours so you can message them, compare lists, and plan movie night together.

- Match and message people with your taste

Tier lists, not star ratings
Rank everything you've watched. Five tiers, zero overthinking.
Stars are vague. Tiers are honest. Drop every movie and show you've seen into S, A, B, C, or F, and watch your taste turn into something you can actually see — and share.
One list, every tier
Movies and TV shows live together. Drag to reorder inside a tier, or tap a title to move it.
See the consensus
Every title shows the community's tier distribution, so you know when you're the outlier.
1.4M+ titles
Search movies and series with instant, typo-tolerant results. New releases are added daily.
Made to be shared
Export a clean tier-list card sized for Instagram Stories and TikTok in one tap.
Recommendations
Recommendations built from how you rank, not what's trending.
Your tier list is a taste profile. MoviePal reads it — what you put in S, what you put in F, and everything in between — to find titles you'll actually love, and tells you why each one made the cut.
For You feed
A personal feed that updates as you rank. Every pick shows its reason — "because you loved Stalker" — and one tap adds it to your watchlist or tier list.
Pal, your movie companion
Ask Pal for a pick in plain English. It knows your rankings, skips what you've seen, and checks in with a suggestion when you've gone quiet.
Filter by your streaming services
Only see what you can watch tonight on Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Max, Apple TV+, Hulu, and more.
Teach it in one tap
Mark a pick "Not interested" and it's gone for good. Rank something and your next batch gets sharper.
Movie night, solved
Stop scrolling in a group chat. Get one pick for the whole room.
Shared recommendations for two, group recommendations for everyone. MoviePal blends the tier lists in your friend group and finds what all of you will actually enjoy — on the services you already pay for.

- Matches are checked by title and year, so remakes don't get mixed up
- The import runs on your device and only the titles you confirm are saved
Everything else you'd expect
A watchlist that knows where to watch, and rankings worth posting.
Save anything in one tap, add a note so you remember who recommended it, and see at a glance which of your streaming services has it tonight.
Watchlist with notes
Hold any saved title to jot down why it's there. Sort by when you added it, or filter by genre, service, and runtime.
Where to watch

Community tier distribution
See what percentage of MoviePal put a film in S versus F. Great for settling arguments.

Goodbye Letterboxd - Hello MoviePal
“I have always loved movies and I hate how outdated Letterboxd is. Im so glad I finally have a user-friendly app to log all my recent watches. My favorite feature is how it suggests movies based off my tier list. An absolute must-have app for all movie lovers.”
Favorite new app
“Awesome new app to log movies and shows by tier. Been able to DM other users on the app that have the same taste in movies and shows as me, which has been really cool. Enjoying it so far and found a bunch of movie recs that I had never heard of before.”
Fun app!
“I never write reviews, but I am loving MoviePal. It's such a fun and easy way to keep track of movies, rank them, and see what my friends are watching. I especially love the DM feature and FYP, it makes discovering movies and sharing recommendations so much more fun.”
better than letterboxd
“this has so many more features that i had been wishing letterboxd had so im making the switch completely. super sick”
Made a friend!!
“Honestly wasn't expecting to have matches with ppl who also like the movies I do haha”
Save time finding movies to watch
“Actually makes finding movies I can watch with other people 1000x easier”
FAQ
Questions, answered.
Everything people usually ask before they download. Anything else? Email us any time.
Is MoviePal free?
MoviePal is free to download from the App Store. Full access to features like recommendations, taste matching, and messaging is included with a MoviePal subscription, which starts with a free trial. You can cancel any time from your Apple Account settings.
How is a tier list different from star ratings?
Stars ask you to be precise about something that isn't. Tiers ask a simpler question: is this an all-time favorite (S), something you loved (A), good (B), meh (C), or did you hate it (F)? Because everyone answers the same five-way question, MoviePal can compare taste between people far more reliably than star averages.
Can I import my Letterboxd ratings and watchlist?
Yes. Request your data export from Letterboxd (Settings → Import & Export), then open the ZIP with MoviePal. Your ratings are mapped to tiers (you can adjust the mapping) and your watchlist is imported. Titles are matched by name and year on your device.
Does MoviePal track TV shows too?
Yes. Movies and TV series live in the same tier list, the same watchlist, and the same recommendations. The catalog covers over 1.4 million titles and updates daily.
How does the taste match percentage work?
MoviePal compares the titles you've both ranked and how far apart your tiers are. Ranking the same film S versus F counts against you much more than A versus B. The result is a single percentage that updates as either of you ranks more.
Is MoviePal available on Android?
MoviePal is currently an iPhone app. We're focused on making the iPhone experience great first.
Who can message me?
Friends can message you directly. Anyone else, including taste matches, sends a message request that sits in a separate inbox until you accept it. You can block or report any user from their profile or a conversation.
Find your taste twin
Meet people who watch exactly like you.
MoviePal compares your tier list with every other member's and surfaces the people who rank movies the way you do — down to the percentage. Then it gets out of the way so you can talk about them.

Compatibility you can trust
The match score weighs every shared title and how far apart you ranked it — an S versus an F counts for a lot more than an A versus a B.
Message anyone, safely
DM friends directly, or send a message request to a match. Requests stay in a separate inbox, and blocking and reporting are one tap away.
A profile that says something
Add a profile photo, earn a title from Binge Watcher to Cinema Scholar as you rank, and let friends browse your tiers and watchlist.
