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.

About

Hobby Tracker

Read full description

Hobby Tracker keeps the film, series, book or game you're in the middle of front and center — and tracks the time you put into it. FOCUS ON WHAT YOU'RE DOING NOW Put any number of titles in focus. Each card shows where you left off — season and episode for series, page for books — and one tap starts a session timer. When you stop, the time is logged and shown back to you wherever that title appears. TRACK EVERY EPISODE AND PAGE Browse a series season by season with episode names, stills and air dates, and tick episodes off as you watch. Rate each episode as you go, and file older watches as "back then" so your history stays honest. Episodes that haven't aired yet can't be marked — the app knows the schedule, down to the hour. WATCH TOGETHER Invite friends with a link and group them — a partner, a household, a film club. Mark a title as watched, read or played together: progress moves for everyone, each person keeps their own rating, and a notification asks the others for their score. Filter Focus and Lists by who you share with. COLLECTIONS Build your own cross-category lists — "Rainy weekend", "Book club 2026" — and share them with friends as viewers or editors. A collection can hold a title you haven't added to your library yet. SHARE WHAT YOU FINISHED Share any title as a link, or as a story card for Instagram with your stars and a comment. Monthly and yearly recaps turn your posters into one card. NEVER MISS A RELEASE Upcoming films, series and games wait in their own list with a countdown. A series you've caught up on waits there too, with the date and time of its next episode. When the moment comes, the app tells you — with an optional local notification, no account needed. DISCOVER WHAT'S TRENDING Search films, series, books and games in one place, or browse what's popular this week — including what's streaming on the services you pick, in your country. See where a title streams, its cast, trailers, similar titles and community ratings, then add it with one tap. AN ASSISTANT THAT KNOWS YOUR TASTE Tell it what you're in the mood for, how much time you have and what genre, and get one confident suggestion with a reason — from your focus, your backlog, a collection, what's trending or your streaming services. It reads your own history: what you loved, what you dropped, what you're halfway through. Pick a friend and it chooses for the two of you. YOUR YEAR AT A GLANCE Profile shows everything you finished this year by category, a month-by-month history of episodes watched, pages read and time spent, per-category stats with a monthly chart and your top genres — and a short written note on your taste. SYNC ACROSS DEVICES Create a free account to keep your lists, progress and history in sync across your devices. An account is optional — the app works fully without one. HOBBY TRACKER PRO Everything in the app is free, including sync. The assistant offers 5 suggestions a week for free (20 in your first week); Hobby Tracker PRO makes it unlimited (up to 500 a month), refreshes your Profile note daily and unlocks the story card themes. PRO is an auto-renewing subscription: $1.99 per month or $14.99 per year (prices vary by region). Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings.
