Recommendations for movies and TV shows from your friends
Discover what to watch thanks to people you actually trust. On Somto, recommendations come from friends, not just any algorithm.
Why it works
The best recommendations come from friends
No algorithm knows your taste better than the people who actually know you.
When a friend tells you "you absolutely have to watch this," that recommendation beats a thousand automated suggestions. That's exactly what Somto is built around: follow people you trust and see in real time what they're watching and rating.
Every rating, every title your friends add, and every discussion they have becomes a recommendation for you. So when you don't know what to watch tonight, you already have a list of ideas from people with tastes like yours.
