You might also like…

This cohort of recommendations is full of movies I’ve already watched and rated. Seems like a pretty obvious bug.

@Altermattego  We do filter out titles for which you have already rated from the personalised recommendation features in the app. Your personalised recommendations are in the section on the app home page labelled “Top picks for you” — are you seeing titles here for which you have already voted (and voted more than 24 hours ago)? 

You mention the heading “You might also like …” in your post.  This is a subtly different feature lower down the app home page where we pick a title which you have already seen and we display the “More like this” titles from the source title’s page.  This is not intended to be personalised beyond the source title, and therefore we do not remove titles for which you have already voted, sorry. It is a supplemental feature to “Top Picks” and serves to also remind customers of similar titles which they may wish to re-watch. 

For personalised unseen recommendations please see “Top picks for you”

Hope this helps.

@Col_Needham​ thanks I’ll check this out. I appreciate your response and explanation of the different features on the home page.

I still think this section needs a rethink to better reflect its title, saying I “might also like” movies I’ve previously rated a 3 or a 10 just seems like poor UI that have room for improvement like if it’s not intended to be customised to the user perhaps a rename would be a more cost effective option.

@Altermattego​  This is a good point.  We have converted this into an Idea as the iOS app team regularly check-in on Idea posts here.
