Discover Best Content To Stream: See what people enjoy on Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO, Hulu, Disney, Apple+ & co. Streamers around the world use Cinema Pointer to help each other decide the best movies or series to watch or avoid. Imagine getting home after work. You just want to see a good comedy to blow off stress or what you need is a violent action film to help process your anger at your boss. Whatever you need, there's no margin for guessing, as a miss will only aggravate you more. That's where team-work comes in & that's what Cinema Pointer is for. People using Cinema Pointer are already enjoying the benefits of team work. They are telling us that there's really a difference between only knowing what people watched (which is what Netflix Top 10 tells you) and knowing what people actually enjoyed watching (which is what Cinema Pointer tells you). At the core of Cinema Pointer is proprietary algorithm and artificial intelligence which synthesize user interactions to determine what movies and series users enjoyed in the past 24 hours. Then ranks and categorizes them into different Top 10 lists based on whatever you are in the mood for. For example: when you are in the mood for romance, there's a Top 10 list to show you the romance movies people enjoyed most on Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO, Hulu, Disney, Apple+ & co in the past 24 hours before you opened the app. There's Top 10 for Romance, Comedy, Action, Thrillers, Horror, Dramas and more. Cinema Pointer is so easy to use, you don't even have to register or create an account to use it. On top of that, it is absolutely free. No monthly subscriptions. Nothing. You don't pay anything. Zero!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cinema Pointer at none against Orbit's 1. Cinema Pointer also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Orbit's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 11 days). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
