MovieMatch

What is it?

MovieMatch is an app that helps you and your friends pick a movie to watch from a Plex server.

MovieMatch connects to your Plex server and gets a list of movies (from any libraries marked as a movie library).

As many people as you want connect to your MovieMatch server and get a list of shuffled movies. Swipe right to +1, swipe left to -1.

If two (or more) people swipe right on the same movie, it'll show up in everyone's matches. The movies that the most people swiped right on will show up first.
