MoviePass
MoviePass is a theatrical subscription platform that gives users monthly credits to watch movies at more than 4,000 theaters across the U.S. Beyond showtime browsing and ticket check-in, MoviePass set out to build a social layer directly inside the app, giving subscribers a place to share reviews, react to films, and connect with a community of fellow moviegoers. Agility led the development of these social features across both iOS and Android, covering the full stack from frontend to backend.
Social Features Built For The Way People Experience Films
-
Posts, Reviews & Reactions
Users can create posts, write movie reviews, and react to content with emoji-based reactions, all within a native social feed experience. The system supports full post and review lifecycle management, including editing, deletion, and moderation states, keeping the community feed relevant and on-brand.
-
Comments & Community Interaction
Threaded comments let users engage directly with posts and reviews, building conversation around the films they love. Combined with user reporting and automated moderation with human override, the system is designed to scale community interaction while keeping it safe.
-
Optimized Media Uploads
Image and video upload performance was significantly improved on both platforms, reducing friction in the content creation flow. UI fine-tuning and integration enhancements ensured the social features felt native to the existing MoviePass experience rather than bolted on.
Integrate With Your Team
Agility worked across the full stack, integrating directly into the existing MoviePass native codebase. The team handled both frontend implementation and backend service development, including automated moderation detection, user reporting pipelines, and feature flag management via DevCycle for controlled rollouts.
