Last week MacRumors included Faro in a list and a lot of you arrived at once. Some of you found it slow, couldn't log your own films or couldn't swipe back. Thank you for telling me. All three are fixed: • Log any film before you make an account, and your ratings come with you when you sign up. • Swipe back from any film, person or list page. • The servers are upgraded for busy evenings. Also new: service buttons open the film in your streaming app, and a new Awards page. Phil
Choose on your phone. Watch on the big screen. Faro helps you decide what film to watch on your services, on your own or with friends. Then Faro can open the film on your TV, ready for you to press play. No more half past eight, everyone on the sofa, still scrolling. RATE WHAT YOU'VE SEEN Every film gets one of four answers: Not for me, Didn't click, Liked, Loved. The more you rate, the better the picks get. Once you've rated a handful, choosing takes about a minute. HELP ME CHOOSE Tap Help me choose. Set a filter or two if you like: under two hours, say, or only the streaming services you already have. Faro comes back with a small set of films and you choose. Keep the ones you're torn on in a shortlist, then lock one in as tonight's pick. Filters mean exactly what they say. Ask for under two hours and nothing longer turns up. If nothing fits, Faro tells you and checks with you before it loosens anything. DISCOVER Discover has collections of highly rated films, all at no extra cost on the services you have. Free to watch this week is a list of films on free channels, picked by Faro's founder every Wednesday. Home shows more from the directors and actors you rate highly. WATCH WITH FRIENDS Add friends who also have Faro by their @username. Watch Together weighs everyone's taste at once and suggests films the whole group might go for. A Film club is a shared list for the group. Anyone adds films and everyone reacts. FILM CLUB - SOFA EDITION Start a film night from your phone and everyone in the room joins with a code, on their own phone. Each person adds up to three films and reacts to the rest, then you all rank them. The film that suits the most people wins. ON YOUR TV Faro has an Apple TV app. Choose a film on your phone, press Watch on TV and Faro can open the film in your streaming service's app, ready to play. Or browse and choose direct from the TV app. ONE PAGE PER FILM Trailer, clips, cast and where it's streaming in your region. Save it for another night or mark it seen. Not interested? Say so and it stays out of your picks. COMING FROM LETTERBOXD Import your ratings export in one step. The file is read on your phone and never uploaded. LIGHT AND DARK Golden Hour is the light look, Midnight the dark one. Faro follows your phone's setting or you pick one yourself. ACCESSIBILITY Faro works with the settings you already use: VoiceOver, Voice Control, Larger Text, Sufficient Contrast, Differentiate Without Colour Alone, Reduced Motion, Dark Interface and Captions. NO ADS, NO TRACKING Faro is free, with nothing to buy inside. Your data is never sold or used for advertising and what you share is seen only by the people you invite. What's trending has no say in your picks and nobody can pay to put a film in front of you. FROM PHIL I built Faro on my own because choosing a film was eating the best hour of my evening. Support lives in the You tab and comes straight to me. If something's wrong or you have an idea, write and I'll read it. Faro uses film data and images from TMDB.
