Tasty is a mobile app for iOS and Android that lets users curate and share personalized collections—or “mixes”—of movies, TV series, and books tailored to specific moods or occasions. The platform uses taste‑profiling algorithms to recommend content, enables social discovery by connecting friends’ mixes, and offers analytics that compare individual preferences with community trends. Monetization is based on a free download model with potential in‑app purchases or advertising.

Problem
Consumers of movies, series, and books often rely on generic recommendation lists that ignore individual preferences and lack social context, making it difficult to discover niche or mood‑specific content. The absence of a unified platform for curating, sharing, and comparing personal collections further fragments the entertainment discovery experience.
Solution
Tasty delivers a mobile‑first platform that builds a detailed taste profile for each user by combining collaborative filtering, content‑based analysis, and interactive rating games. The app generates personalized recommendations across films, TV series, and books, and lets users assemble “mixes” that reflect specific moods, genres, or themes. Users can publish these mixes to a social feed, follow friends, and view community‑wide taste insights that highlight alignment and divergence. Real‑time compatibility scores surface content that both the user and their connections are likely to enjoy, facilitating collaborative binge‑watching or reading sessions. All recommendations and social interactions are processed in‑app on iOS and Android, ensuring a seamless, privacy‑aware experience without the need for external services.
Target Audience
The primary audience consists of entertainment enthusiasts—movie buffs, TV series fans, and avid readers—who seek personalized discovery and enjoy sharing curated collections with friends and broader communities.
