Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about saving friend recommendations and choosing what to watch tonight.

How does Friends Recommend work?

Friends Recommend helps you save movie and TV recommendations from people you trust. Keep the title, who sent it, their rating and personal comment, see where it is streaming, and pick something for Tonight — without losing the tip in chat.

Is Friends Recommend free?

Yes. Friends Recommend is free on iOS and Android with no ads and no subscription required for core features.

How is this different from Letterboxd?

Letterboxd is excellent for logging films and reading community reviews. Friends Recommend is built for the tip a friend already gave you — who recommended it, what they said, and where you can watch it tonight.

How is this different from Reelgood?

Reelgood helps you search what is on each streaming service. Friends Recommend adds the human context: friend ratings, personal comments and Tonight picks from people whose taste you trust.

Which streaming platforms does Friends Recommend support?

Friends Recommend shows where titles are available across major platforms including Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, Apple TV+ and more, using streaming availability data.

Can I use Friends Recommend before my friends join?

Yes. Start your own watchlist and save titles immediately. Then invite one person whose taste you trust — you do not need a large network.

How do I add friends?

Add friends by username, contacts or invite. Friend connections are private — only people you connect with see your shared activity.

Is my data private?

Activity stays between you and the friends you choose. Friends can see recommendations you share and relevant watchlist signals you make visible. We do not run an ad-funded public feed.

What is the Tonight tab?

Tonight helps you choose what to watch from what friends recommended, recently loved or are already watching — so you spend less time scrolling.

Is Friends Recommend on Android?

Yes. Friends Recommend is available on the App Store and Google Play.
