Frequently Asked Questions
- What should I watch tonight?
- Open Flickd and you'll get 3 picks made for you: Tonight's Pick (your best match for right now), a Discovery Pick (something a little outside your usual lane), and a Watch Again suggestion (a comfort rewatch). All filtered to the streaming services you already pay for, with one-tap deep links to start watching.
- Does Flickd work with my streaming services?
- Yes. During onboarding you select which services you subscribe to (Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, HBO Max, Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+, Peacock, Paramount+), and Flickd only recommends content available on your platforms, with direct deep links so you can start watching in one tap.
- How does Flickd recommend what to watch?
- Flickd uses a 26-feature scoring algorithm that learns from your swipes, viewing sessions, and check-in streaks. It weighs genre affinity, popularity alignment, keyword similarity, temporal patterns, and more, so its picks match your real taste rather than what's trending.
- Is Flickd free?
- Flickd is free to download. After onboarding, a subscription unlocks unlimited personalized daily picks, swipe-based discovery, viewing insights, and your streaming personality profile.
- What is a streaming personality?
- Your streaming personality is the engine behind your Flickd picks. The app analyzes 7 traits (variety seeking, mainstream vs indie taste, serial commitment, rewatch tendency, critical eye, genre loyalty, and mood range) and matches you to one of 10 archetypes like Binge Sprinter, Hidden Gem Hunter, or Prestige Purist. The more you use Flickd, the sharper the picks get.
