How does Couchu learn my taste?
From the titles you mark as watched and the ratings you give, imported ones from IMDb, Letterboxd or Netflix included. The more you rate, the more the picks are yours; “Your taste” shows what it learnt, and if something feels off, just change a rating.
How do two of us pick one title?
Group night blends everyone’s taste into a single list and says why each title suits each of you; people without the app vote from a link. Or try “Match for two”: swipe through the titles and the first shared “yes” wins.
Is Couchu free?
Yes: you get 3 free searches a day in your first week, then 5 a week, plus the ones you unlock with a short video. Quick replies such as "4 more" do not count. Premium adds more searches and the group features.
Does Couchu suggest games too?
Yes, if you’re into them: board games and video games are two optional modes you pick at the start or in Settings › What you watch. For board games, how many you are, the length (where stated) and the games you own count; for video games, only the platforms you play on. Prices, from IsThereAnyDeal, are for PC games only.
Which countries does it work in?
In the countries listed in the app, each with the catalogues of the services in that country. The list will grow over time.
Do I need an account?
No, you can start right away. An Apple or Google account is needed only to subscribe or buy Couchu Coins, so you get them back on another phone too.
Does Couchu see what I watch on my services?
No. Couchu does not connect to your streaming accounts: it only knows the services you pick and the titles you mark.
Who picks the titles?
An artificial intelligence system, which picks only among the titles of our catalogue and writes the reason for each pick. It can be wrong: the app says so in the conversation.
Where does the data come from?
