TV recommendation app Watchworthy has released two new features that give viewers access to more personalized recommendations. This includes new recommendations categories for streaming services and collaborative watchlists to get movie suggestions for your entire group of friends.
Watchworthy is best known for its “Worthworthy” score, which indicates how likely a TV show or movie is worth your time. The app leverages parent company Ranker's first-party data pool for personalized recommendations, as well as a variety of TV shows from “like” and “dislike” to “interested” and “not interested.” We also use data collected from onboarding quizzes that ask you to rate yourself. ”

Watchworthy also rolled out its “Watch Together” feature. This allows you to send friend requests to other people and allows the app to provide “group-appropriate suggestions” based on everyone's personal preferences.
