Get Recommended The Right TV and Movies, Free

itcher is an app available for multiple platforms that provides community-powered entertainment recommendations. Its database of around 4 million titles is almost exclusively TV and movies. Officially, it’s known as ‘itcher – Recommendations’, and that’s what you’ll find almost every possible flavour of in this app.

A Mild Buzz

As a program designed to scratch your ‘itch’ for good stuff to consume, it’s no surprise that itcher is visually decadent, almost overwhelming, from the word go. You’ll see show upon show, movie by movie, organized into a huge array of panels as the home page. Looking more closely at the app’s recommendations, you’ll get more text and more reviews to tell you what you’re actually looking at. The app works well in this regard, and really, there aren’t many better ways to design an entertainment recommendation app! The problem is there aren’t that many user reviews, and so not much text. When the app has recommendations, they’re good ones, but the ‘buzz’ based features need time.

Usually Entertaining

Overall, itcher is a fantastically-made app that suffers somewhat from a small community and so many community-driven features. Because it relies so much on the app’s userbase, and has such a visually-heavy, detailed database of titles, it is also a little bit data-hungry, Despite this, it’s a great app to use to get a few recommendations when you’re sitting at home on a rainy day, looking for something to watch.
