What the challenge is
The 365 movie challenge is the goal of watching 365 movies in a year, one a day. You pick the movies: classics, new releases, a director's filmography or whatever you feel like watching.
Cinapp was born from this challenge. Every movie you watch is logged in your diary with its date, and you can follow how many you have seen this year.
Rules
- Schedule the movies you want to watch. Each one goes into the next free day on the calendar.
- On the day, watch it and mark the movie as watched.
- If you can't, mark that you didn't watch it or reschedule the movie for another day.
- At the end of the year, count how many movies you watched. The goal is 365.
How the calendar helps
- A queue that's always ready. You don't waste time choosing: the movie of the day is already on the calendar.
- Flexible. Move a movie to another day when your schedule gets tight. Up to three movies fit on the same day.
- Reminder. In the app, with notifications on, you get a heads-up on days when you have a movie scheduled.
- Progress at a glance. Your profile shows movies watched, movies in the queue, movies not watched, hours watched and points.
How points work
Points count for movies scheduled for today or the coming days. Movies logged with a past date go into your diary but don't earn points.
| Action | Points |
|---|---|
| Schedule a movie on the calendar | +1 |
| Mark the movie as watched | +5 |
| Mark that you didn't watch it | -1 |
| Remove a movie from the calendar | -1 |
| Let the day pass without marking the movie | -5 |
| 3-day watching streak | +5 |
| 7-day watching streak | +15 |
| 30-day watching streak | +60 |
Ranking
The Cinapp ranking orders participants by points. In case of a tie, whoever watched more movies comes first. Each row also shows the movies watched, the ones in the queue, the skipped ones and the ones not watched.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to watch exactly one movie a day?
No. The goal is yours. The calendar takes up to three movies on the same day and you can reschedule any movie to another date.
What happens if I miss a day?
If the day passes and the movie is still planned, you lose points. To avoid that, reschedule the movie before the day ends.
Do movies I watched before starting earn points?
They go into your diary with the date you watched them, but they don't earn points. Points are for the movies you schedule and watch.
Can I start the challenge in the middle of the year?
Yes. Create your account, schedule your first movie for today and go at your own pace.
Is the challenge free?
Yes. The calendar, points, ranking and stats are free, on the site and in the app.
