I use the app multiple times a week, and I’ve made multiple watchlists (movies to watch, shows to watch, tracking finished shows. Etc.) Updated Nov. 2025, as I’d still like to see these features: The reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 is for 3 preferential reasons: 1. I wish there was an “okay” or “eh” rating. The current ratings are dislike, like, and love. I feel like there is a middle ground for a lot of movies and shows.. “I didn’t hate it, but I don’t think I’d watch it again” would be an “okay” for me. 2. When you go to “rate more” and have the opportunity to rate shows and movies, there’s an option to click “not interested.” When this is clicked, it hides the movie or show. I wish there was an option to choose not interested or to hide shows when on the show/movie page. You can remove shows/movies from the recommended Watchworthy list, but they reappear when the page is refreshed. I wish we could hide shows from recommended without affecting recommendations. (For example, I liked a couple cartoon movies that are good for kids/family/adults. Now, there’s so many kids movies taking over my watchlist. Some of the movies are probably good, but I’d like to hide them from always being recommended to me without having to dislike them all.) 3. I wish there was an option to mark episodes as watched. Watchlists will show (for ex) “3 updates to your watchlist. However, I’d like to be able to mark one show at a time versus having to mark all updates as done at one time for the whole watchlist. ### 4/5 — Wish I could filter shows I’ve seen *2025-10-13, version 4.6.18* Makes it a pain when rating/sifting through shows. ### 2/5 — Recommendations couldn’t be more off *2025-08-22, version 4.6.18* Prolly the best UI of all the similar apps, but I’m here for the recommendations and somehow its horrible at it. I either disliked or not interested almost every horror movie that showed up but somehow it keeps suggesting the same violent stuff which no person who is right in their head would watch ### 4/5 — It’s a really good app, I would recommend it to others, but it needs one small fix. *2025-08-18, version 4.6.18* I’m really enjoying this app, It’s very useful, and I’ve found some of my favorite shows and movies on here, but I’ve recently come to realize that it is missing some movies and shows, I was adding the Child’s Play movies to one of my watchlists and I saw it was missing “Curse of Chucky” and I see this app doesn’t have many of the indie animated shows that stream on youtube, such as “Murder Drones”, “Meta Runner”, And “Sunset Paradise”, and one last thing, I’d like it if you guys added a feature where you can mark off the episodes of a tv show you’ve watched or are watching. ### 4/5 — Widget *2025-06-24, version 4.6.11* In the coming updates can you guys add an widget option with recommendations for shows pr movies for a quick overview ### 3/5 — Hi *2025-06-22, version 4.6.11* How do I like watch the movies? ### 3/5 — Movie *2025-05-11, version 4.6.9* I’m confused maybe I’m doing it wrong but every time I try and watch I movie it just gives me a description and rating and actors it doesn’t let me watch??? ### 3/5 — Helppp *2025-04-24, version 4.6.9* I love this app right? I give it three stars though because I don’t know it won’t. It won’t let me watch the shows for some reason and I don’t like that so please tell me how I can watch the shows. ### 2/5 — Meh *2025-04-19, version 4.6.8* The algorithm feels really off—most of the suggestions are shows I’d never watch or even consider. Honestly, the only reason I’m keeping it is because the discovery list is decent, but even that feels like it’s cherry-picked based on the bad the algorithm. Here’s hoping they fix things soon! ### 3/5 — NEEDS a way to filter out the BUY/RENT Option *2025-03-25, version 4.6.8* If you use Amazon Prime or Apple TV you get a really unrealistic list of movies available to you because there is no way to filter out the buy/rent option. I would only like to see movies that are free with my subscription. If the app had that it would be perfect. ### 4/5 — Almost perfect *2025-01-21* I really like this app, and I recommend it to lots of people. I use the app multiple times a week, and I’ve made multiple watchlists (movies to watch, shows to watch, tracking finished shows. Etc.) The reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 is for two preferential reasons: 1. I wish there was an “okay” or “eh” rating. The current ratings are dislike, like, and love. I feel like there is a middle ground for a lot of movies and shows.. “I didn’t hate it, but I don’t think I’d watch it again” would be an “okay” for me. 2.

Some of the movies are probably good, but I’d like to hide them from always being recommended to me without having to dislike them all.) ### 1/5 — Good in theory *2025-01-11, version 4.4.1* An app to help you find new shows to watch? Sounds great! You can tell it which services you subscribe to? Even better! Oh, wait. It ignores that and only gives you shows on services you DON’T have? Well, that’s not really helpful at all, is it… ### 4/5 — Needs a watched category *2025-01-10, version 4.4.1* App has a pretty good UI and being able to rate shows and make watch list is cool but once you rate or watch a movie it just disappears and there’s no way to track what you’ve already seen. You could make another watchlist call it *watched* but that’s inconvenient and should be built in ### 3/5 — Not bad *2025-01-03, version 4.4.1* I found out the app that I wanted to watch, but I can’t watch it cause I have to download Netflix ### 4/5 — App is completely broken for me *2024-12-30, version 4.4.1* All I get is a blank screen that says “something went wrong and we can’t continue”. Completely broken ### 1/5 — You can’t even watch the movie you want to watch *2024-12-24, version 4.4.0* I wanted to watch home alone and I can only watch the trailer ### 4/5 — No Apple TV app?? *2024-12-16, version 4.3.0* I like what I’m seeing from this app so far on my phone, but I was surprised to see that it doesn’t seem to be available on the Apple TV App Store, which is literally the only place I watch TVs or movie. It would be great to add recommendations to my watchlist while on my phone but then pull it up and actually link to them from Apple TV. ### 4/5 — Can't add friends *2024-12-01* Cool concept but adding friends hasn't worked, just links back to downloading the app even though we both have it. ### 4/5 — watched or seen it list? *2024-11-28, version 4.2.0* it's an awesome app for recommending shows but i keep seeing some that i have already seen. i wish there was a button for "watched/seen" or some kind of list for that ### 4/5 — Sometimes missing movies *2024-10-13, version 4.1.0* There are times when I search for a movie only to find it missing in the app. And these aren’t rare movies, these are movies from within the last couple of years. Such as “It Lives Inside” from 2023. It’s airing on Hulu right now. Also, when I search for something and can’t find it on any of my streaming providers according to WatchWorthy, I’ll google the same movie and discover it’s on YouTube Premium (not the same as YouTube TV). So I’ll be able to watch it there. These are two of the handful of issues I’ve come across with this app. I wish it worked as well as google or IMDb for searching. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not worth the time *2026-04-03, version 4.6.20* Alas ### 1/5 — Not usable *2025-06-03, version 4.6.10* Went though the process of rating a bunch of stuff and then was never emailed the validation code. I assumed it wasn’t real time so tried to come back later. Now I’m getting the generic error message. Is this app real? ### 1/5 — Deleting *2025-05-27, version 4.6.10* Bro you’re a freaking app to make suggestions for shows to watch, you asked if you can send push notifications and I said yes cause I thought what could this app notify about 🤷🏻‍♂️ 2 days later i regret my decision and am deleting the app completely because WHY THE FXXK DO YOU SEND 12 NOTIFS A DAY!!? ### 1/5 — Just hold up a second *2025-04-28, version 4.6.9* I have used this app for 5 minutes and it keeps pestering me to rate it. Also it seems to keep updating itself while I select and rate items (feature I suppose) but then it inexplicably refreshes the list and my place in the list. This app could be useful but currently annoying. ### 1/5 — Trying way too hard *2025-04-23, version 4.6.8* I’m overwhelmed ### 1/5 — Keeps reloading while scrolling *2025-04-11, version 4.6.8* Keeps reloading while scrolling. Also most of the recommendations are trash. My favourite new shows dont even get a worthy rating ### 1/5 — Nonsense *2025-03-28, version 4.6.8* Nonsense!!!.. scammers 😡😡😡 ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-03-24, version 4.6.8* I want to add my friend but I can’t just goes to the App Store ### 1/5 — Bad review *2025-02-23, version 4.6.3* Doesn’t have all the shows I want to watch, like Baddies Midwest and everything like that. Took too long with the voting just for them to not give me what I want. I’m not impressed and more shows and movies. Couldn’t even watch HunterxHunter ### 1/5 — Cannot create an account *2025-01-18, version 4.4.1* After “Enter your details” (name and email address), the “next” button does nothing. Some Settings pages overfill my iPhone SE’s screen, so I cannot change some settings. I could not select Amazon Prime Video as one of my services during initial setup because only one edge of the button was still onscreen and tapping that edge did not turn it on. If I restart my iPhone, will all my ratings disappear without an account? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Movies *2024-05-18, version 3.28.2* Can u make it so we can find movies I love the app so far but could really use it for movies ### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for *2024-01-10, version 3.24.3* I’m particular about my shows. I will take hours to research my next watch, and give up pretty quickly into new shows when I can tell they aren’t for me. I’ve long looked for an accurate recommender to help me find my perfect show, and the shows I have watched from this app i’ve loved. Super user friendly too! ### 5/5 — A+ *2023-12-18, version 3.24.1* Uber helpful. Love having multiple lists. ### 5/5 — Watchworthy is awesome. *2023-10-23, version 3.22.0* I was struggling to find good movies to watch and then I found watchworthy it asked me if I liked/dislike a couple of movies and then it gave me a bunch of new movies to watch. ### 5/5 — Love the idea *2023-06-27, version 3.12.0* I love the idea of this app! It gives me recommendations based on what I’ve watched! I don’t need it to keep a running list to remind me of the things that I’ve watched, and when a new season is coming out. Half of them were limited series or confirmed last season shows. I wish it would give me recommended shows and let me add them to a watch list and I can come back and mark it off my list! ### 5/5 — Fantastic App! *2023-05-22, version 3.8.0* It blows my mind this app is free and doesn’t try and show a subscription down your throat. This app is amazing! It works great, runs smoothly, has a ton of really cool features, and awesome animations to keep things fun and engaging. 10/10 recommend Please keep this app free 🙏🏻 ### 5/5 — Best Recommendations *2023-04-22, version 3.6.0* Best app at surfacing recommendations and almost always extremely accurate! ### 5/5 — What I’ve Been Waiting For! *2023-03-08, version 3.1.0* Watchworthy nailed it! I’ve been looking for an app that could recommend things for me to watch. There are so many streaming services that I sometimes have analysis paralysis. This app cuts through the noise. The recommendations are better than anything I’ve come across so far. Somehow they know me better than my friends. There are tons of ways to discover new things and add them to a watchlist so I don’t forget what I was into. I particularly like their Worth Your Time feature. Overall, this is a great app. Highly recommended!!! ### 5/5 — When are you streaming Dont Hug Me I’m Scared *2022-11-30, version 2.29.1* The reason why I want to know because I want to watch and I watched videos of the show and I want to watch it and please make more seasons for USA Please ### 5/5 — It’s great *2021-01-23, version 2.2.1* I like it because I always forgot the shows I haven’t watched yet. It is also hard to find good shows to watch. Now I finally have a place to find good shows. My only complaint is that you can’t find or add any movies to your watchlist. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
