Keep Track of All the Books, Movies, Podcasts and Games You Want to Check With This App

Friends’ recommendations are often the best way to learn about things like new books to read, TV shows to watch, or video games to play. These guidelines; however, come often for a drink or dinner, or when you are otherwise out with friends and away from your location, to add this new item to your “list”.

If you’re like me, then this “list” is really just a working Google doc where I manage to jot things down, but I never go through them again, which kind of goes against the purpose of making a list to start with.

This week I came across an iOS app called Sofa , designed specifically to address this issue.

The app, currently available for iOS only, serves as a repository for everything you want to see, listen to, and read later.

The app specifically tracks books and TV shows, music albums, podcasts, and video games. When you come across one of those that you know you want to check later, you can add it to your list in the app.

In addition to being in an arbitrary massive list, you can customize things as well. For example, you can create a Date Night movie list or a reading list for your upcoming vacation.

List entries also include information such as opening times for movies and TV shows and synopsis for books and podcasts, so you can remind yourself why you added this to your list to begin with.

As you listen to, read, and review your saved content, you can also mark it as completed, creating a shared list as you go.

The idea here is to just keep all of these great recommendations in one place, instead of going through multiple apps or lists to get to them.

This master list is also likely to come in handy in the future when you try to give the same recommendation to another friend.
