## What is Encue?

Stop bouncing between five apps to find one thing to watch. Encue shows you where any movie or show is streaming, and what your friends say to watch next.

One search, every service: subscription, free, rent, or buy, plus what's in theaters and what's coming soon. And your picks come from people you trust, not an engagement-driven feed.

FIND IT IN SECONDS
• Search any movie or show and instantly see everywhere it streams.
• Or describe a mood, like slow burn British crime or feel good 90s comedies, and search gets it.
• Not streamable yet? Tap Notify Me and Encue lets you know when it arrives.
• Filter by your services, genres, rating, and runtime, so every result is something you can watch right now.
• Browse every genre, or dive into collections like In Theaters, Under 90 Minutes, and Family Night.
• Tap any actor or director to see their filmography, ranked by what they're known for.
• Browse Top Charts: the highest rated titles worldwide and on each of your platforms.
• Catch New Season badges the moment a favorite show returns.
• Watch the trailer before you commit to two hours.

ASK YOUR PEOPLE
• Send a friend a recommendation with a note on why they'll love it, in the app or straight to Messages.
• Can't decide? Ask your circle what to watch and get real title suggestions back.
• Like and comment on what friends watch, rate, and review.
• Show your taste with Four Favorites on a shareable profile.

NEVER LOSE A TITLE AGAIN
• Save anything to your Watchlist, Favorites, or your own custom lists.
• Mark a title watched and it files into your Journal automatically, a tracker for every movie and show you've seen.
• Rate and review everything you finish, down to single seasons and episodes, so future you remembers.

Less scrolling. More watching. Your next favorite is probably one friend away.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-10-18*

My go-to app every night. Great for finding the latest series updates, movies hitting the networks and theatres, and the best way to share faves with family and friends! 5 star experience!!

### 4/5 — Love it!!

*2026-08-06*

I’m obsessed with this app. It’s so easy to use, and I love that I can send recommendations straight to friends and family. Coming from someone who watches her husband scroll for what feels like hours trying to pick something, this app is a lifesaver. Definitely worth downloading if you’re tired of the endless scroll too!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.15 — 2026-10-23

• Coming Soon and In Theaters, now right on Home.

### 1.0.14 — 2026-10-03

Big Games This Week grows again. Hockey joins the shelf with the NHL in ice blue and its own crossed sticks icon, and the WNBA playoffs arrive in rose with a basketball to match. Every league now carries its own color and icon, so an October full of playoff baseball, football Saturdays, hockey, and playoff basketball reads at a glance.

### 1.0.13 — 2026-09-22

Big Games gets sharper this update. Golf joins the schedule with its own icon and color, the soccer leagues now share one color so the shelf reads at a glance, and listings that are not final yet carry a cleaner Tentative tag. Baseball games show (tbd) until their day of game records arrive, more channels open with a tap from a game's card, and the busiest weeks now fit on the shelf without cutting a single game.

### 1.0.12 — 2026-09-12

This update fixes an issue where the Sign in with Apple button did not respond on some devices, so signing in and creating an account work reliably again. It also restores push notifications.

Also in this update: refreshed sport icons across Big Games, matching encue.app, and small polish throughout.

### 1.0.11 — 2026-09-11

Big Games is here. Home now shows a curated shelf of the week's biggest nationally televised games: kickoff times in your time zone, team colors and rankings, records, and the networks and streaming services carrying each one. Filter by sport, tap any service to jump straight to it, and open a game for the full rundown.

Also in this update: recommendation cards show full posters with expandable notes, notification badges got a cleanup, and lots of small fixes and polish.
