Movie Recommendations Page

Inspiration

Thinking about all the people who entered this valentines day lonely (including me) inspired me to create this app. Since most people would watch movies in such a case, I thought about creating a movie recommendation app in the style of Tinder.

What it does

Swipe left, right, or even upwards/downwards to a selection of movies - in true Tinder fashion. Then, based on your tastes, the app will recommend you a movie to watch this Valentine's day. Don't worry, it is not necessary to be with somebody special to watch these movies :)

How we built it

I built it using the Java and Android Studio.

Challenges we ran into

Creating a Tinder-like swap mechanic was very challenging since I am a beginner to Android Studio. That took a lot of time for me to learn. Also, time management was a very big issue. I spent so much time on the swapping mechanic that I barely had the time to add the final "Recommendations" page. This is the reason why that part is a little underwhelming in the project.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I am proud with how the app looks. The Tinder-esque esthetic really works for this app. I am also proud that this app idea can be developed further in the future.
