Smashbomb is a social platform that allows you to research and discover things based on recommendations from people you know/respect/trust rather than seeing reviews from anonymous people who may or may not be trustworthy.

Imagine a social network where you can rate anything (products, services, movies, games, books, places, events, mobile apps, podcasts, tech, websites, etc), but where your activity stream consists purely of recommendations/ratings from people you follow (friends, celebs, industry people, experts, etc).

When a user adds a review, they select a rating out of 10 – if they rate at 7 or over, it’s a ‘Smash’ and if they rate something at under 7, its a ‘Bomb’ (to be avoided!).

Being an active 'Smashbomber' will enable the community to show their appreciation for your awesomeness through the awarding of Kudos Points (KP). You will earn KP for reviews, sharing lists, adding new items, and any other contribution to Smashbomb.

Increasing your KP will earn you new badges and eventually claim your rightful place on the Leaderboards, leading to fame and notoriety!

Love this app!
Have been using this for a few months now, and have earned my T!
It fun, I love to read what others write, and it is a great forum to have a rant about your favourite (and least favourite) things.

I’ve been on Smashbomb for nearly a year now, and let me tell you that when they say “rate anything,” they’re not kidding. Got an opinion on a new app you downloaded? Review it. Can’t believe how good the last book you read was? Review it. Listened to a mind-blowing podcast? Review it. Hated the new Motley Crue movie? Review it. Tell the world what you think! Obviously I’m partial to the Book Reviews. ?

But it’s not all reviews & ratings. Smashbomb also features giveaways, polls, orbs (groups), lists (yay!) and more. I’ve joined a number of orbs, and even participated in a Christmas Book Exchange.

Those “thumbs up” icons you see are “kudos,” which are awarded for many things: reviewing, adding items, etc. Each user is given a set number of “kudos points” each day, which the user can then award to other Smashbomb users. Think of it like those ubiquitous Facebook likes, except with a daily limit. The more things you do, the more your limit increases. Other users can award you kudos as well.

One of my favorite features is the ability to add an item that doesn’t yet exist on the site. For instance: Once I finish a book, I search for it on Smashbomb in order to review it. If the book does not exist, I can add it to the site, including details and a cover photo. Once you’ve added an item, others can also rate it and add it to their own lists. I’ve so far added nine books, and I'm sure I'll add many more!

You can also earn badges for completing various actions, and choose which badges to display on your profile. I’m currently an “Oracle” (hmm…possible new nickname), and I’m about halfway to “Guru.” ?

And, of course, there’s a Smashbomb app as well, so you’re not married to the desktop site.

Smashbomb is fun because it’s different. It’s a social networking site, but more, and less. You won’t find lengthy political rants, duckface selfies, or neverending #hashtags here. And honestly? Sometimes it’s nice to take a break from all of that.

So far so good. Its an easy to use platform, you're able to review most things and add items that aren't on the database. You can comment on people's reviews and follow other users. The giveaways are a great added extra and I've won a few.

Smashbomb Review
Smashbomb is a pretty cool social media app for entertainment recommendations. What do I mean? Well, you can rate and review all kinds of things like movies, tv shows, books and more; as well as discover things through recommendations too. You can also recommend stuff to your friends and follow each other to see what stuff they've recently reviewed. Find out what they love or what they hate, or what they really felt about a certain movie/tv show, etc.. You can even join "Orbs" which are groups where you can talk with other members about different topics related to recommendations. You earn points for adding reviews and rating things and even earn different badges for contributing that show off your status in the community. There's even a system of points called Kudos points that you earn for adding reviews and ratings and the more you earn the more you can give to friends and followers. These points are used to enter giveaways where you can win all kinds of prizes from Funko Pops, DVDs, table top games and even video games.

So in conclusion, I think this app is pretty awesome. I've been using it now for a couple of weeks and have really been enjoying it. It's pretty fun adding reviews for movies and shows I've seen, earning points towards winning awards and also giving points to other people writing reviews helping them get more points to win stuff too. And the best is just finding something cool that you haven't heard about before like a movie or tv show you were thinking about watching but weren't sure about. Because there's nothing that sucks like staring at the menu screen at Netflix/Hulu/Prime etc... and not knowing what to watch and just staring at that screen for 15 mins. Especially with things like fake reviews and trolls out there and paid reviews that hype up a movie that you wind up spending good money on seeing in theaters only to feel like you were robbed. It's a cool place to get some good opinions and if you get your friends to join or add in the fun then you will be able to see and share your reviews, ratings with each other and actually know who they're coming from.

Can review many types of media and import ratings and/or reviews from other sites. (0 more)

Smashbomb allows users to review many types of media.
I recently discovered Smashbomb. It's similar to Goodreads but you can review more than books. Movies, apps, TV shows, music, video games, tabletop games, podcasts, and tech are reviewed also.

You can access Smashbomb by downloading the app or by going to Smashbomb.com.

You can easily import your ratings and/or reviews from Goodreads. I had difficulty importing my ratings from IMDb. When I figure out what I'm doing wrong I'll write a blog post to explain.

You earn badges and can be awarded KP, kudos points.

Users can award you KP because of your review or "for submitting high quality content". The amount of daily KP you are rewarded is based on your KP score. The more KP you earn, the more influential you become.

"Some badges are earned based on kudos points (KP) awarded by other users, and others are awarded by Smashbomb directly." As of 11/27/18, approximately 90 badges are offered. "Higher level badges are a sign of authority and trust, which will result in increased exposure and more followers."

I like the KP system, the badge system, and the concept of being able to go to one place for all of the reviews offered.

A great review website
I was recommended Smashbomb by a friend who knows I like talking about books and films. I had a book blog, but I was sick of doing endless weekly scheduled posts and wanted to be able to review what I wanted, when I wanted.

Smashbomb gives me that freedom. I love that you can review anything you want and have enjoyed posting on Smashbomb so far. I also enjoy interacting with other members through the different orbs the site has.

I also like the limit on 'likes' you can give everyday. Instead of just liking something so that people go and read your reviews, the limit makes you really consider which information is worth reading or liking.

I haven't really got to grips with the giveaways yet, but that's something I would like to participate in the future.

When I'm looking for reviews about a certain book or film, I enjoy reading the varied opinions of others.

If there are no reviews of a book I have read or film I've watched, it's also really easy to create my own page.

I really enjoy this website and I look forward to seeing how this website will grow in the future.

It’s addictive!
I read books, I like to write about the books I read. Smashbomb is great for people like me - I’m always recommending books to my ‘real life’ friends (both by their request and just because I can’t shut up about some books), and now I can recommend books to complete strangers! What’s not to like!! Oh, and I like how I can ‘dabble! In some of the other things on here (film, apps etc). Quite handy to read up on films to share with my children and for myself too.
