The goal of this app is to provide users with a seamless and personalized movie discovery experience based on their current mood. The app offers bite-sized, mood-tailored movie scenes, allowing users to quickly engage with content that fits their emotional state, whether they are looking for laughter, thrills, or romance. The focus is on delivering fast and intuitive interactions, with easy access to content that matches the user’s mood at any given moment.
Key Features:
- Movie Suggestions Based on Mood: After selecting their mood, users are given curated movie suggestions that match their current emotional state. This feature helps users easily discover new movies that fit their mood without the need to manually search through a vast catalog.
- Mood-Based Movie Scenes: The app uses mood selection to curate short movie clips that align with the user's current feelings, providing a personalized experience that changes based on user preferences.
- Swipe Interaction: Similar to social media apps like TikTok or Instagram Reels, users can swipe to see the next scene, making the process quick and engaging. This feature ensures the user is always interacting with fresh content, allowing for an effortless discovery process.
- Watchlist Integration: Users can add any movie scene to their watchlist, making it easy to come back later and view the full movie. This feature helps users keep track of the films they are interested in without losing their place in the app.
The app provides a simple, intuitive interface that focuses on delivering mood-tailored content through swipeable, vertical video clips. The use of large, easy-to-read fonts, clear buttons, and seamless transitions ensures users can quickly navigate through the app and enjoy a smooth browsing experience. By integrating mood-based recommendations and easy access to details and favourites, the app empowers users to make more informed and personalized movie choices.

You're off to a strong start — the overall design is clean and thoughtfully presented, and I appreciate the clarity in your design rationale. That said, here are a couple of actionable tips that can help you elevate the homepage further:
On the homepage, I’d recommend placing more emphasis on the visual aspect of the movie cards. Right now, the multimedia placeholders (thumbnails or posters) appear quite small, which limits the app’s ability to communicate the essence of the content. Since this is a movie app, visuals play a huge role in engaging users. Movie posters are designed to convey genre, tone, and mood instantly — all of which help users make fast and emotionally driven decisions. Increasing the size or prominence of the poster area will improve scannability and bring a more immersive, content-first experience.
For the “Continue Watching” section, it's a good idea to include a visual poster alongside the title. Relying only on text can make it harder for users to quickly recognize or recall where they left off, especially if the app is used sporadically or across multiple sessions. Our brains process visuals faster than text, and a poster can act as a memory trigger, making the experience feel more personalized and frictionless.
In short, lean into the strength of the medium — movies are visual stories, and your interface should reflect that. Prioritizing imagery will not only boost usability but also make the interface more emotionally engaging.
You’re definitely on the right track — keep it up and continue iterating based on user-centered principles!
