An App for maintaining a "Wanna Watch" movie list

12 points·Shrihari··9 comments

I'm in the process of building this social web app that lets you maintain "Wanna Watch" movie list and discover new movies via friends.

Kindly help me by sparing a minute to take this survey : http://polldaddy.com/s/DB8919ED6D08FEA4

Love the questions. I really think this could a more useful app if it fulfilled both sides of the equation: let me enter movies I want to see, and remind me of when those movies are in theaters near me/released on DVD or Blu-ray.

I don't see the social aspect as really playing much of a role, at least outside the 1% of hardcore die-hard users.

The last question was interesting.:)I am assuming the monetization strategy is to provide links to amazon/itunes as referrals.

Kidding aside, a simple app would be great. Having lots of unnecessary feature would turn me off though.

Thanks for the responses guys. The survey has helped me understand various aspects of the app. Somethings that i never thought about in the first place, have become priorities now..

It really needs an iPhone app, so when I'm at the movies and see a really cool trailer I can add it to the list. The app needs to be ultra smooth though.

Actually, I am developing similar application. I think we should have a discussion about it and join the forces if feasible.
