REX - Great Recommendations from Friends
By REX Labs, Inc.
Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
Description
At REX, we think the best recommendations come from people you trust.
That's why we built our iOS app to be the easiest way to connect with friends to share your favorite movies, music, books, TV shows, videos, restaurants, bars, travel destinations, and anything else you like.
Features
• Share anything that’s too good to keep to yourself.
• Save posts you want to checkout later in one easy place: the Vault. No more emails to yourself, sticky notes, or screenshots necessary.
• Tap any post to watch, read, download, listen to, purchase or learn more about it. No more dead-ends.
• Explore featured and trending content - or curated collections.
• Use the Map to discover places down the street, or on the other side of the world from friends and experts alike.
• Filter by category. See what you want, when you want.
Welcome to REX.
This app uses background location sparingly to let you know when you're nearby places you've saved. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Customer Reviews
My go-to when I'm looking for recommendations
This app is many things: easy to use, well-designed, fun.
But the best parts are the whip-smart community, the expert curation by the staff, and the intelligent content. When I'm in need of something fresh for my mind - a good film, book, album, thing to see, video to watch, article to read - this is the place I come to.
LOVE REX
Rex is an amazingly complex but easy to use app. They really did a great job improving it over the last few months... its crazy how easy it is to find interesting things. theres nothing really like it. If you are bored, or stoned and looking for something to watch, go to Rex, videos section.
Cool Stuff
All the cool people are using it. Seriously. They are. And that's what makes Rex so unique.
Rex is a great app for finding and sharing cool things: film, TV, books, music, videos, people, podcasts, restaurants, bars, stores, etc. It's full of the interesting stuff that interesting people find interesting.
