Digaroo makes it easy to discover, rate, and review the things you actually spend your time on — movies, TV shows, books, board games, video games, podcasts, music, restaurants, and recipes — all in one clean, ad-free app. See what your friends are into. Leave your own ratings. Find something worth your time. HOW IT WORKS Add your friends. They rate things. Those ratings land in your feed — with what they actually said about them, not just a score. Rate them yourself, or bookmark the ones you want to get to. When you're deciding what to watch, read, play or cook tonight, your bookmarks are the shortlist. ONE FEED, OR ALL OF IT Pick a category, or choose All Categories and see everything at once. Look at everyone, one friend, or work your way through a ranked list — Best Picture winners, say. BOOKMARKS THAT REMEMBER WHY Save anything with one tap and add a private note — "Sam said to watch this", or "for the flight". The note stays with the bookmark, and only you can see it. PROFILES WORTH VISITING Everything someone has rated, what they're saving for later, their Top 10 lists, and their Spotlight — the three things that define them in a category. MUSIC AND PARTY PLAYLISTS Rate songs, albums and artists. Then build a party playlist from what your friends have actually rated: pick who's coming, set how long you need, and send it to Spotify. NO ADS. NO ALGORITHM. NO STRANGERS. Whether you're picking a movie for tonight, your next book, a game for the table, or somewhere to grab dinner, Digaroo gives you real recommendations from real people. • Follow friends and compare tastes • Share your Top 10 lists in any category • See what's trending in your circle • Get recommendations sent directly from friends • No ads. No tracking. Just great recommendations. Digaroo is built for people, not algorithms. Find something good from people you actually trust.

Change channels without taking your hands off the wheel, or tap the star to add one to your favorites. Add the widget to your Car Multimedia Dashboard to start your last channel with a single tap.

Each channel entry includes three editable fields: stream link, optional website link, and optional program guide link (provided by the user).

Custom Notifications Set repeating alerts to be reminded when your favorite programs are on air. Quick Access to Favorite Channels Add channels to your favorites, arrange them in any order, and open them with a single tap. Your favorites are waiting on the home screen widget, the Lock Screen and in Car Multimedia, so you can switch between channels without ever unlocking your phone.
