can people successfully sign up, use the app, find it useful, and want to return to use it again some time in the future?

if yes, then you're there. don't overcomplicate it.

Thats the million dollar question. How to know if the app has breached that level of usefulness where user will want to come back? Hence the urge to blindly add more and more features.

If you are a movie buff, would you come back to the app?

personally and honestly, no, because it doesn't appear to be breaking any new ground in terms of functionality. i've seen plenty of similar movie apps in the past. if it is doing something new and different, i'm not seeing or perceiving it. people in general might use it, though.

to me, it would be new and interesting if you set up something that looked through my friends, saw what movies they liked, and produced an automatic recontamination list based off of that.

Thanks for that advice. I have been debating over a similar feature for a while. I will try to build it ASAP and intimate you about it.
