Someone mentions a film. You want to watch it tonight. Twenty minutes later you're still hopping between apps trying to work out who actually has it. That's the part Watchmode fixes. Search once, and we'll tell you exactly where anything is streaming: which of your services already includes it, where it's free with ads, and what it costs to rent if it isn't. Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, Max, Disney+, Apple TV+ and 180 more — all in one place, with the services you already pay for shown first. Then it keeps going. RECOMMENDATIONS THAT ACTUALLY KNOW YOU Rate a handful of things you've loved, and a few you couldn't stand. Watchmode learns fast. Ask it for a movie, a series, or tell it to surprise you — and say whether you want something everyone's talking about, a hidden gem, or a proper deep cut. Every suggestion is already filtered to services you can watch on tonight. No trailers for things you'd have to subscribe to. A SHOW TRACKER THAT KEEPS UP Six shows on the go and no idea where you left off in any of them? Watchmode remembers, episode by episode. Up Next tells you what's ready right now, one tap marks a whole season watched, and you'll get a nudge when a new episode or season finally lands. A WATCHLIST THAT WORKS WHILE YOU FORGET ABOUT IT Add anything you like the look of — the film from the trailer, the series three people have now told you to watch, the one you'll get around to eventually. Then forget about it. When something on your list finally lands on a service you already pay for, Watchmode tells you. No checking. No missing it the month it quietly arrives. And make lists for whatever you want: date night, October horror, the films you're mildly embarrassed to admit you've never seen. SEE WHAT YOUR FRIENDS ARE WATCHING Follow your friends and their ratings show up right on the film you're considering. It's the difference between a stranger's four stars and your mate who's never once steered you wrong. Already have a viewing history? Bring it with you from Trakt.tv, IMDb, Letterboxd or TV Time. SEARCH EVERY SERVICE AT ONCE This is the bit people don't expect. Search across every streaming service in one go, then filter it down properly: by service, genre, cast, director, release year, runtime, language, even by critic score or user rating. Hide everything you've already seen. Sort for the genuinely great stuff. Save a search you'll want again — "horror on my services, 7.5 and up" — and re-run it whenever. Want the best-reviewed documentaries on Prime? The highest-rated thrillers you can watch free tonight? That's a few taps. AND WHEN IT'S NOT AVAILABLE HERE Watchmode works in 30 countries — the USA, Canada, Great Britain, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland, Poland, Portugal, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, India, Japan, South Korea, Singapore and South Africa. If something isn't streaming where you are, we'll show you where it is. Free to use. Works with the subscriptions you've already got. Got a problem or an idea?

Press the Strike button on the Watch App. 5. Clasp your hands as if you were holding the hammer and raise them to gain momentum for the strike. 6.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Watchmode at Free against HighStrikr's $1.99. HighStrikr's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
