1.2 Existing System and Need of System

Existing System:

 Users struggle to find a single platform that offers trending movie recommendations,
detailed information, and personalization.

 Difficulty in keeping track of movies users want to watch or have already watched.

 Limited ability to share or read reviews, reducing the decision-making support for
users.

 Cluttered interfaces in existing systems often hinder user navigation and satisfaction.

 Lack of seamless integration of features like watchlists and reviews in one app.

 Users face difficulty discovering new movies based on their interests or current trends.

Need of System:

 Develop a comprehensive platform integrating trending movies, detailed information, and

personalization features.

 Introduce a watchlist feature to help users manage their movie preferences and track
progress.

 Enable a user-friendly review system for sharing opinions and reading community
feedback.

 Design a clean and intuitive interface to enhance navigation and overall user experience.

 Implement seamless feature integration to provide a unified experience for users.

 Use algorithms or curated lists to recommend movies based on user interests and global
trends.

3. Drawbacks and Limitations:

 Internet Dependency: The app requires a stable internet connection to fetch trending
movies and details.

 Platform Limitation: The app is currently available only for Android, limiting access for
iOS or web users.

 Limited Personalization: The app offers basic recommendations and does not include
advanced personalized suggestions.

 External Data Reliance: Movie details and trending information depend on third-party
APIs, which may not always be accurate or up-to-date.

 Scalability: As user data increases, performance may slow down without additional
optimization and resources.

 User Engagement: The success of features like reviews and ratings depends on active user
participation, which may be limited.

Page | 29
4. Proposed Enhancement:

1. Cross-Platform Compatibility: Expand the app to be available on iOS and web

platforms to reach a broader user base.

2. Advanced Personalization: Implement machine learning algorithms to offer more

accurate, tailored movie recommendations based on user preferences and behavior.

3. Social Integration: Add social media sharing options so users can share their
reviews, watchlists, or movie recommendations with friends and followers.

4. User Rating System Improvement: Enhance the review and rating system by
allowing users to rate specific aspects of a movie (e.g., acting, direction, visuals) for
more detailed feedback.

Page | 30
5.Conclusion:

Movie-Guide is designed to provide an intuitive and engaging platform for movie

enthusiasts, offering features like trending movie discovery, detailed information, watchlists,
and reviews. By focusing on user experience and personalized features, the app aims to
enhance how users explore and interact with movies. While there are some limitations, such
as platform dependency and the need for advanced personalization, the proposed
enhancements will further improve functionality and broaden accessibility. Overall, Movie-
Guide has the potential to become a valuable tool for movie lovers, helping them make
informed choices and share their opinions with a larger community.
