Provides a convenient and easy to use Manager for all the shows and movies we now stream from various services and cable networks. It's great for those of us who stream content from several sources and would like to keep track of where the content is hosted, information about seasons and episodes, when the episode is available (day of week) and when the show and each season is available. You can store all this information with Streamrack! And the most import feature - you can keep track of all the streaming services or network channels where the series or movie is hosted. When a new show title and type is entered, it’s searched for information used to pre-populate the show’s poster, premiere date and season information (for a series). There is a default set of Channels (streaming services and networks) made available for selection when the app is installed, and additional Channels can be added to the selectable list. There is also a filter option on the Show List screen that allows you to filter the list of shows by their title, by the channels that host them, by show type, by shows that are marked completed or not completed, or for series that have episodes that premiere on a particular day of the week. The app is implemented with Apple CloudKitI So you can install the app on all your iOS devices and share your stored information.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: CMSPlayer at 156 against StreamTrack's 1. CMSPlayer also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and chart position (#190 vs unranked). StreamTrack's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and price ($1.99 vs $2.99). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
