Rotten Tomatoes has introduced a new mobile application that aspires to serve as a thorough discovery and social platform for movie and TV fans, similar to Letterboxd. Accessible on iOS and soon on Android, the app goes beyond the conventional Tomatometer, featuring functionalities like personalized profiles, watchlists, personal ratings, reviews, and a system for social following. It unveils “Tomojis” for conveying reactions and encompasses all typical Rotten Tomatoes features including critic ratings, trailers, and entertainment news within a user-friendly design.
Moreover, the app includes aRTi, a generative AI search assistant in beta, crafted to assist users in locating streaming details, ratings, reviews, and tailored recommendations. Upcoming updates promise video reactions and improved profiles for engaged users, along with a badge system to gamify fan reviews. This launch marks Rotten Tomatoes’ endeavor to integrate its renowned scoring system with a more interactive, community-focused experience, establishing itself as a popular alternative to platforms like Letterboxd.
