Not working as it used to

Used to love this app but recently it’s stopped working as it used to
If I search for a title, the title shows up and it shows icons below it for the services it’s available on, but when you click on the title and it goes into it, now only the pay to view services are shown and not all the services where it can stream as were shown in the previous icons.

Great service - terrible scrolling

I love this app but the scrolling on my watch-list has always been so bad. It stutters and jumps about after you've scrolled a bit through a long list. It's the only app on my device that does this. Maybe you don't test on long lists so don't realise how bad it is?

Also, as others have requested, having a list of the new additions from your list that have become available would be great too. Basically just the list of notifications you've sent.

Otherwise a great app.

Must have

This app is absolutely great and necessary. If you need to find out where and when to watch any show, movie, specials and other things this is where to find out!

Deceptive privacy settings

Good luck disabling marketing cookies. Deleting the app after being unable to tell how to disable their over 90 cookies.

My first go-to

This is a really helpful app for when I quickly want to find which streaming service a film is on.

Hard to use

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.

Abysmal UI

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.

Interrupts background audio

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

Un peu compliqué.

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 👍👏

Essential

Best ever way to track down film and TV.

Such a handy app

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.

Intrusive Third Party Access

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.

Account?

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.

Life Saver

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

Customer support

Steven at customer support was amazing and helped me with all of my issues in a timely fashion!

NOT PAYING FOR THIS

Unreal how greedy - now you have to pay to see what’s new?! Been using this for years but no more. Sucks that you have to pay for the least little thing. Not everyone wants a million paid subscriptions.

This is bs

It says just watch but you can’t even watch anything unless you have the subscription

Wants way too much data

Like the title wants way too much data for an app that just tells you where to watch something. Started it up and it like is and our 98 third party providers. You have lost your mind if you think this is okay. Saw that laughed out loud and immediately deleted the app.

The Telly Brain

I can now keep track of what to watch and where. Wonderful application.
