## Review summary

Matched Movie App for Couples has a good core idea, appealing to couples wanting shared movie suggestions. However, multiple users report significant bugs, especially relating to enabling notifications and connecting with partners via codes. Recommendations often don't align well with preferences or streaming services. Users also express privacy concerns over extensive data collection and complicated account deletion. Despite these issues, some find the app functional if notification settings are manually enabled and appreciate the matching concept.

### Pros

- Idea and concept of matching movie preferences for couples is appealing.
- Some users report the app works well once notifications are enabled.
- The app has features that users find desirable such as matching and recommendations.
- It allows rating of multiple movies which can improve suggestions over time.

### Cons

- App requires enabling notifications for basic functions but often fails to prompt or enable them properly.
- Users are frequently stuck at the "Add Partner" screen because they cannot enter codes or bypass the step.
- Recommendations are often inaccurate or irrelevant to selected genres and streaming services.
- App is buggy and prone to crashes or unresponsive behavior on multiple devices.
- App requests excessive personal information raising privacy concerns, with difficult account deletion process.
