Current Status of my APP

Current Status of my APP

I have been using MITappinventor for creating my app. I have done wireframing for my app on paper before actually starting to put together my app. So far I've gotten a pretty good gist of the things I wanted to include in my app but have had some troubles figuring out a way to make the App "community driven". This is because I have not found a way to add a couple of components that would shift the use of the app from an information based app to a community-based app where the information displayed is based on the people who use the app instead of the information I manually had to put in. I believe my next step is to add these components to my app which include a rating system (like on Netflix), a comment system (like on Youtube), and a "sort by" feature (like on Amazon or IMDb). Having these things would make the app do exactly what I would like it to do because then users would be able to search for a genre of TV shows like "comedies" and be able to filter their search to be organized from "highest rated tv show to lowest rated tv show" while having the understanding that all the shows being searched are rated by the community and not companies, and so they can trust that the ratings are accurate to the opinions of the community. This is what I want my app to do, to inform viewers about what TV shows are interesting to watch completely based on the community's' opinions. To do this I also need to add a system that allows users to upload new shows they encounter therefore if I have users I would probably need them to create an account on the app. Maybe I can connect them through their google accounts or simply have them create an account specific to the App. There is a lot of work I need to do on my part (a lot of figuring out, but I am really interested in creating this App and so I am just going to work harder to complete it). That's all I have for this week.
