### 1/5 — Hard to use

*2026-08-25, version 26.34.2*

So many ads popped on top of what I was looking at I struggled to use the app to search for a show. Kept needing to close an ad to see anything. I recommend using the web site instead.

### 1/5 — Abysmal UI

*2026-08-25, version 26.34.2*

This app has one incredibly simple feature / purpose for existing, which is to tell you which streaming services have a particular show or movie that you search for. Bafflingly, they’ve somehow managed to over-complicate and screw up the UI so much that it cannot even reliably do that. You’d think it should be as simple as: search show/movie -> receive list of matching streaming services; evidently not. There are now promoted services that often don’t even have the searched movie (maybe they’ve fixed this, but it’s happened to me before) and apps that do have the movie are often omitted.

I’m pretty sure this is mostly technically user error, and if I sat down for 20 minutes to thoroughly familiarize myself with the interface I’d be able to use it effectively, but there’s absolutely no reason whatsoever that this shouldn’t be the simplest and most straightforward app/feature on the entire planet! I shouldn’t have to go in and set which services I have before you’ll show me if that service has the movie; just show all matches by default and have an option to omit them for people who want it.

I know every app/site on the planet has to be inundated with junk and ads and promotions and whatnot so they can make money, and also I’m sure this is technically my fault (subscribed to Hulu to watch a show that’s also on Netflix, which JustWatch neglected to mention), but my point is that this concept is so exceptionally simple that it literally should not be possible to have an ambiguous or unclear UI that is anything other than exceptionally simple and intuitive.

### 5/5 — Muito bom

*2026-08-23*

Excelente

### 1/5 — Interrupts background audio

*2026-08-22, version 26.34.2*

Stops background audio from playing as soon as you launch the app. Why?

### 4/5 — Un peu compliqué.

*2026-08-18*

La recherche n’est pas simple. 
Largo winch séries, S2E4 en français mais S2E5 le texte est en anglais. 
Merci pour votre logiciel  qu’a le mérite d’exister et d’avoir une version gratuite et ils sont rares. 
Continuer 👍👏

### 5/5 — Essential

*2026-08-16, version 26.33.1*

Best ever way to track down film and TV.

### 5/5 — Such a handy app

*2026-08-16, version 26.33.1*

This app is useful for finding which service a show it isn ( my husband otherwise guesses and we spend 5 mins going though each service) AND suggestions on what is popular across all the paid and free services.

### 1/5 — Intrusive Third Party Access

*2026-08-15, version 26.33.1*

I have used this app for a long time and found it to be one of the best, but recently the app wanted to access other devices on my network, and the app sought approval to plant cookies for 98 (yes, ninety-eight) third party vendors to access all kinds of information on the device.  It's now deleted.

### 1/5 — Account?

*2026-08-13, version 26.33.1*

How come now i need to create an account? So basically the app is just holding my watchlist hostage, trying to force me to create an account when i was able to use lists for YEARS without one? Thanks but no thanks.

### 5/5 — Life Saver

*2026-08-13, version 26.32.1*

Especially for stoners, who have cable🙋🏻‍♂️ 
and can’t ever
remember/know what shows I watch online🤷🏻‍♂️
🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️
