Press Release - August 2014: New website!
Kwixer for iPhone and Windows Phone Delivers Entertainment Recommendations All in One App & Website
Why use five apps, when you just need one? Search, share and listen to personalized entertainment recommendations with Kwixer – now available for iPhone, Windows Phone and online at Kwixer.com. Kwixer delivers the best recommendations for movies, music, books, games and restaurants, all in one app. Kwixer is the one entertainment app you need on your phone.
“There are many apps out there that are exclusively music, movies, books and so on, but none that consolidate all online entertainment information and reviews in one place,” says Rodrigue Haijar, Kwixer Co-Founder. “Kwixer offers entertainment lovers a one-stop platform to ‘Kwix’ and share movies, music, books, games and restaurant recommendations.”
With Kwixer users are able to discover new entertainment, listen to personalized recommendations from the assistant, rate and share reviews on social media, create to do lists, and explore their entertainment preferences such as their favorite director or actor. Also, an exclusive in-app upgrade delivers up-to-date personalized entertainment news. Kwixer is also fully bilingual, offering users simultaneous search in both English and French.
More than just a social recommendation engine, Kwixer recognizes that friends don’t always have same taste. Kwixer uses your entertainment preferences and shared interests with friends to provide the best possible suggestions. The more you Kwix, the better your recommendations become. Intelligently designed, Kwixer is also self-learning to find new patterns of interest from actors and authors to genres and themes. For example, if a user likes multiple science fiction movies set in the future, then Kwixer will recommend other movies, but also books and games with that same theme.
“Offering an all-in-one entertainment recommendation app is just the beginning for Kwixer,” says Jeremy Pekmez, Kwixer Co-Founder. “We want to become your entertainment assistant. We are working on new updates, including adding TV Shows and more intuitive features to the assistant. The most exciting upcoming feature are ‘group recommendations’ that would suggest movies, restaurants and playlists for a group of friends.”
Kwixer is available as a mobile application for iPhone and Windows devices. With the newly launched beta website, Kwixer is also accessible on your desktop with www.kwixer.com. Users can log in easily via Facebook or e-mail and begin receiving personalized entertainment recommendations.
More About Kwixer
Kwixer is the creation of two young developers, Rodrigue Haijar and Jeremy Pekmez. After meeting in university and working together as developers, they joined forces to participate in the Imagine Cup and Pitch You App competitions. One day at the office, after listening to co-workers chat about what movies to watch and what songs to listen to, they had an idea to change the way we experience entertainment recommendations. They also noticed that people would recommend entertainment on Facebook and Twitter, but the information would appear on your feed and then disappear forever— it wasn’t being used to its full potential. There were multiple apps for music, books, music, games or restaurants, but none that consolidated all entertainment information and social network reviews. Why use five apps, when you just need one? Using their spare time and late nights, Rodrigue and Jeremy created Kwixer from an idea in 2011, to a reality for everyone in 2014. Visit www.kwixer.com and start Kwixing today.
