## Review summary

Users praise Taste for its design, rich watch-history diary, and strong recommendations that help them track what they’ve seen. However, many reviews cite a heavy paywall, plus persistent data and content gaps such as missing 2025 data and delayed episode updates. Additional concerns include limited filtering/search options and privacy/login friction, with some longing for broader language/region support. Despite these issues, the core tracking and recommendation features remain the app’s main strengths.

### Pros

- Well-designed UI with a solid database.
- Detailed movie diary: tracks what you've watched by genre and year, and shows your favorite directors.
- Strong, algorithmic recommendations.
- Effective at helping you keep track of what you've seen.

### Cons

- Premium subscription gating core features and recommendations.
- Data/content updates are inconsistent (e.g., 2025 data missing from charts/recent years, new episodes not added).
- Limited filtering and advanced search options (poor customization and discoverability).
- Privacy and signup friction (email verification issues; requests for DOB/mobile number).
- Content suggestions gaps (e.g., Bollywood not prioritized; Arabic language support lacking).
