Overview

Description

MyMovies is a movie search and collection app. This app allows users to not only browse and search the movie database but create collections of movies. Movie collections allow them to store their holiday favorites or superhero movies and share with other users, or to get recommendations based on their collections.

App Evaluation

• Category: Movies
• Mobile: iOS

• Market: Almost everyone watches movies making the market anyone in the world who enjoys watching movies and sharing what they watch.
• Habit: Users will use this a lot as people are always watching movies and a user creates collections.
• Scope: This scope allows for something that is probable to build within the timeframe, but also has optional stories if finished too quickly. We will add additional recommendation system if time permits.
