Solves the streaming fragmentation problem
With 8 streaming services, finding where something is streaming was impossible. JustWatch tells me instantly. Essential app for the streaming era.
Saves money on rentals
Comparing rental prices across iTunes, Google Play, Amazon, and Vudu saves $1-3 per rental. Over a year that adds up. Price comparison works well.
New on Netflix alerts are great
Get notifications when new content arrives on my subscribed services. No more scrolling through "New Releases" sections on every app. JustWatch aggregates it.
Availability data not always current
A few times JustWatch said something was on Netflix but it had already left. The data is usually accurate but not 100%. Check before relying completely.
Filters by my subscriptions
Setting up my current subscriptions and only seeing content available on services I pay for is the key feature. No more seeing things on services I dont have.
How is this free?
A genuinely useful app that solves a real problem and its free. JustWatch should be preinstalled on every smart TV. Everyone with streaming needs this.
TV show tracking is useful
Tracking which episodes youve watched across shows on different services keeps everything organized. The progress tracking is well implemented.
Affiliate links might bias results
JustWatch makes money from affiliate links when you click through to streaming services. This might influence which results are shown first. Keep in mind.
Leaving soon alerts prevent FOMO
Getting alerts that a movie is leaving a service soon motivates me to watch it before its gone. The "leaving soon" feature prevents content FOMO.
International coverage
Works across many countries with different streaming availability. Essential for travelers who want to know what they can watch abroad.
Replaced all my searching
Used to open 5 streaming apps to find a movie. Now I open JustWatch once and know immediately. Saved countless minutes of frustration.
Recommendation engine improving
The personalized recommendations have gotten better. Based on my ratings and watch history, the suggestions are relevant. Not just popular but personally relevant.
App can be slow to load
The app sometimes takes a while to load content and search results. Performance optimization would improve the experience significantly.
Watchlist is universal
The unified watchlist across all streaming services is what every streamer should have built but didnt. JustWatch created the universal watchlist we needed.
Subscription cost tracker
Seeing total monthly cost of all my streaming subscriptions in one place was eye-opening. $75/month in streaming?! The cost awareness feature is sobering.
Genre browsing across services
Browsing by genre across all services simultaneously surfaces options you wouldnt find in any single app. Cross-service genre browsing is powerful.
Every streaming subscriber needs this
If you have more than one streaming service (and who doesnt?), JustWatch is essential. Its the meta-app that makes all your streaming apps work together.
Missing some niche services
Covers all major streamers but some niche services (Criterion, Mubi, Shudder) have incomplete data. Better coverage of specialty streamers would help film fans.
Timeline feature shows whats new
The timeline showing new additions across all your services by date is perfect for keeping up with fresh content. Chronological new releases across everything.
Problem solver app
JustWatch solves a genuine problem created by streaming fragmentation. Its the kind of app that makes you wonder how you managed without it. Pure utility.
