Movies & TV

Watchlists, availability checkers, release calendars and logging apps.

What is in this category

The useful ones answer a single question: given everything I already pay for, where can I watch this tonight. Around that sit release calendars, episode trackers, and logging apps for people who like keeping a record of what they have seen.

One thing to check before committing, because it is the most common disappointment in this category: which region the availability data covers. Streaming rights are regional and they change monthly. An app built for one market will be confidently, fluently wrong in another.

What to look for

Four things worth checking

  • Is the region right?Availability data for the wrong country is worse than no data, because it looks authoritative.
  • Which services does it cover?Most cover the large platforms. The smaller ones you pay for are where coverage thins out.
  • Can it import what you already have?Rebuilding a watchlist by hand is the reason most people abandon these apps in week one.
  • Episodes or titles?Tracking a series properly means tracking episodes. Not every app does.

Questions worth asking first

  • Do I want to decide what to watch, or record what I watched?
  • How many services am I actually paying for right now?
  • Does it tell me when something is about to leave a service?
