Before you read this chapter, I want you to reward yourself first. Order some pizza, play a game, eat out with your friends, or watch that tv series. Whatever it is, be sure that you reward yourself for this great achievement. You deserve it. After you do that, then come back to this chapter.

Awesome Feature Ideas

If need some help moving forward, here are some feature ideas that you can try to implement in your app:

1. Offline support using Room

   When a user goes offline and opens the app, they still see something on the screen. Famous apps do this and you should too because it will improve the UX of your app.

2. Bookmarks or watchlist feature

   Give your users the ability to bookmark movies that they want to watch in the future and a new screen to show the user’s bookmarked movies.

3. TV shows screen

   TMDb also has an API to fetch TV shows/series which can use for a new screen where the user can see a list of tv shows/series.

However, if you need some guidance going through these feature ideas, read the next section.
