Which is the better film? Prove it. Showcanon turns your watch history into a ranked canon - not star ratings, not reviews. You vote in head-to-head matchups, and an Elo rating system (the one chess uses) builds your personal top 100 from the choices you actually make. RANK - Two posters. Tap the better one. Your canon reorders itself live, and every vote sharpens it. TRIAGE YOUR WATCHLIST - Swipe through a daily deck of recommendations: seen it, want it, not for me. Your wishlist builds itself. DISCOVER - Trending films, what's in theaters, tonight's best trailers, and open debates the community is voting on. REELS - A feed of trailers for films picked around your taste. RANK WITH FRIENDS - Shared lists with live consensus. Make a list, send one invite link, and see where your group actually agrees — and where it goes to war. WEEKLY SHOWDOWN - A community tournament every week. Sixteen films, one theme, everyone votes. SHARE THE ARGUMENT - Any matchup becomes a poll you can post anywhere. "Which is better?" — let your followers settle it. No ads. No 5-star ratings. Just your taste, taken seriously. Start as a guest - no account needed. Films and TV, powered by TMDB.

Push notifications: new followers, follow requests, the weekly Showdown, and your nightly pick. Follow friends — and go private. Public or private profiles, with follow requests you approve. Smarter ranking. A new rating engine (Bradley–Terry) reads every vote, so your top 100 sharpens faster — now with confidence and tiers. Call it a draw. Two films dead even? Say so — a tie is real data now, not a coin flip you have to fake. Tonight: one tap from your watchlist to what's actually worth watching tonight, with where to stream it. Matchup context: every head-to-head now tells you why these two films are facing off. Face ID lock. Require Face ID or Touch ID to open Showcanon — optional, in Account → Privacy. A faster start. New here? The first screen hands you a grid of films to mark seen, and deals a fresh set whenever you want one. Your streaming services, in Settings — so recommendations match what you actually pay for. Speed and polish throughout.
