Terse: One Word Reviews

What if every review had to fit in a single word?

Terse is the one-word review app and social media tracker for films, games, albums, tracks, books and TV shows. One word. That's the whole review. Make it count.

ONE WORD. THE WHOLE REVIEW.

No star ratings. No long-form takes. Just the most honest, deliberate word you can choose. Terse reviews are more revealing than you'd expect. Your one word says more about your taste than three paragraphs ever would.

THE WORD CLOUD IS THE REVIEW.

Every film, game, album, track, book, and TV show has a living word cloud built from every one-word review ever submitted. Tap any item to explore it. Zoom in, pan around. See where the consensus lands, where it fractures, and what no one could agree on. This is collective taste, visualised in real time.

FEEL THE ROOM.

Every item has a sentiment histogram - a snapshot of how the crowd actually feels about it. Is this album beloved or divisive? Does the world feel warmth or dread toward this show? One glance at the chart tells you more than a hundred star ratings could. Your one-word review flows into it the moment you submit.

SOCIAL REVIEWS. NO ALGORITHM.

Terse is a social network built around opinions. Follow friends and people whose taste you trust. See their one-word takes on every film, game, album, track, book, and TV show. No essays, just the word they chose. Discover new favourites through people you actually know, not trending lists.

FIND YOUR TASTE MATCH.

See your compatibility score with any user - a taste match built from your real review history across every category. Two people who chose "haunting" for the same three albums have something real in common. Terse surfaces that connection for you.

EVERY CATEGORY. ONE APP.

Stop switching between apps to track what you watch, read, listen to, and play. Terse brings your film reviews, music log, book tracker, TV diary, and game log together in one place.

• TV shows
• Albums & tracks
• Books
• Games
• Films

Search, review, and discover across every category without ever leaving the app.

LISTS & COLLECTIONS.

Build lists across every category - a watchlist, a reading list, a "best of the year" collection. Share lists publicly or keep them private.
