I have been using Friendspire for more than a year now and it is fantastic product. I’m huge fan😍. Earlier I was struggling to find content but eventually i got Friendspire and boom. Its really a great product you can find content based on your personal preference like genres you love or what streaming services available for you. Highly recommended✌🏻

Great app! Are you planning to add more languages? e.g. Russian and Czech
Markus MaraΓ±on Straarup
@violetta_k thanks for supporting, and great question! We are really hyperfocused on making sure that the content and the recommendations that people get is the very best. Therefore we don't want to go too broad too early. But over time it is definitely the plan to add more languages, like Russian and Czech.

@violetta_k Thanks for your comment and interest. I am in charge of developing the product at Friendspire together with our awesome team. Currently we only support English as an interface language inside the app, but we do cover any content globally. So if you are looking to rate books, podcast or movies in russian or Czech... No problem!

Just tried, not bad. I couldnt got any recommendations mabe because my ratings are very recent? And I couldnt change my profile pic! But the site looks gorgeous!

@bruno_miranda4 thanks for the feedback Bruno! Sounds like something isn't working quite as it should. Are you in the app or desktop? Can you tell me where it isn't working? Would love to get a little more info so we can squash the bugs πŸ› Would also be super helpful if you sent a screenshot or recording of the issue to markus@friendspire.com . THANK YOU!

I'm on desktop :)
Markus MaraΓ±on Straarup
@bruno_miranda4 thanks for getting back to me! Our desktop version is still under development. So you are totally right, it doesn't have the same features as the app. We have been focusing on mobile, and the team is now working hard to get desktop up to speed. Hope you will check out the app as well!

Great idea but so many focus. Where people might loose the purpose to use the product. the more narrow down your focus, the better it could be! I like the design and branding style. Keep it up!
Markus MaraΓ±on Straarup
@abir_hs thanks! I really appreciate the reflection. One of the things we discovered when talking with our users was that they really enjoyed having "everything" in one place. It both simplified their home screens, and brought all their friends on since they each like different things.

Makes your life easy because they truly have it all... Lists and streaming services are the two key features that i truly admire plus the interface is super easy to use and the fun part is you're able to see what your close friends are watching... Keep up the good work!!

@manu_jemini thank you for supporting Manu!!
Annie Spencer
Love Friendspire! I’ve found with the recent release it has really helped me discover new TV / books / podcasts that I like... I’ll definitely credit Friendspire with finding me some of the great books I’ve read in the last year that I wouldn’t have heard of otherwise.

@annie_spencer1 thanks for the support Annie! It makes me really happy that we helped you find some great books πŸ“š

Big fan of curation, making it easier to consume meaningful and fun content. Keep up the great work

@kerrymflynn thank you for supporting! It has just become so difficult to find anything because the options are becoming endless. Netflix came with the promise of gathering all your streaming needs in one place, but instead it seems like there is a new platform every month! Excited to see you on Friendspire!

Just found my most recent podcast and book on Friendspire, and love that i have a queue of TV shows and movies lined up so I can avoid the endless scroll through Netflix. this makes finding and enjoying content so much easier, big fan!
