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 | 24
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.

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,
MovieGuide has the potential to become a valuable tool for movie lovers, helping them make
informed choices and share their opinions with a larger community.
