Reko is an intelligent app designed for movie and TV enthusiasts who want a beautiful, streamlined way to manage their entertainment and find new stories tailored specifically to their tastes. Reko offers a premium, ad-free experience where all your information stays entirely on your own device. KEY FEATURES INTELLIGENT DISCOVERY FEED: Find your next favourite film through a seamless, card-based interface. Reko’s Smart Scoring algorithm analyses your favourites and ratings to provide a "Match Score" percentage for every title. It even explains the connection—for example, recommending Oppenheimer because it stars Cillian Murphy, just like your favourite, Peaky Blinders. COMPREHENSIVE WATCHLIST & ORGANISATION: Keep your watchlist perfectly organised with custom categories featuring unique icons and colours. Use the "What to Watch Next" feature, which uses smart technology to prioritise your existing watchlist and surface the content you are most likely to enjoy right now. TV EPISODE TRACKING & ALERTS: Never miss a premiere again. Reko tracks upcoming episodes for your shows, providing a dedicated countdown view and a calendar of what airs tomorrow or later in the week. Reko can also notify you when a new episode for your favourite show is about to be released, with automated alerts scheduled for 24 hours before it drops. REGION-BASED STREAMING AVAILABILITY: Find out exactly where to watch in seconds. Reko identifies subscription services, including Australian favourites like Stan, BINGE, and Foxtel Now, alongside Netflix and Disney+ based on your specific region. You can even filter your entire library to only show content available on the services you actually subscribe to. PRIVACY FIRST: Your data belongs to you, and only you. Reko requires no accounts, no subscriptions, and no data collection. All your favourites and ratings are stored locally on your device, ensuring complete privacy and instant, offline access to your library. SHARE YOUR TOP PICKS: When you find a film or show you love, you can generate a Share Card to show off your top picks to friends. These cards can be customised with different visual styles like "Polaroid," "Ticket Stub," or "Cinematic" before saving them to your photos or sharing them online. ADDITIONAL HIGHLIGHTS Powerful Search: Instantly find any movie, TV show, or actor across a database of over 500,000 titles. Personal Stats: View a detailed breakdown of your favourite genres, decade preferences, and viewing habits. Rate & Review: Use a 5-star rating system to help Reko learn your taste and fine-tune future recommendations. Completely Ad Free: Enjoy a pure, focused experience with zero interruptions. To understand how Reko fits into your life, think of it as a private digital cinema curator: it spends its time learning your unique taste to find hidden gems you'll love, keeps a meticulous calendar for your favourite shows, and stores all those notes in a vault that only you can open.

One front door for all your streaming apps. Pay once. Keep your data. ReelStack tells you what to watch tonight and where: which of your streaming services has it, where you left off, and when a new episode is out. No subscription, no account and no ads. Your library lives in your own iCloud, never on our servers. PAY ONCE. NO ACCOUNT. NO ADS. No login and nothing recurring, so there is nothing to cancel. One payment unlocks unlimited tracking, custom lists, For You recommendations and actor pages, forever. Export all of your library to a simple file anytime, free. YOUR SERVICES, YOUR ANSWER Tell ReelStack which streaming services you have, once. From then on every title says "on Netflix" when you have it, "you'd need Hulu" when you don't, and Rent when it's only a rental. Trending and search can show only what you can watch tonight. SAVE A SHOW FROM ANYWHERE Spot something on Netflix, Apple TV or IMDb? Tap Share, choose ReelStack, and it's on your Watchlist, with a note when it's on one of your services. Free for everyone. ASK SIRI "What's next in ReelStack" names the next episode of what you're watching. "Where can I watch Reacher in ReelStack" answers for anything you've saved, and your saved shows turn up when you search your iPhone. On iOS 17 and later. CONTINUE WHERE YOU LEFT OFF The shows you're partway through sit at the top of Watching, with the next episode and a play button that opens the right app. Come back after watching, answer "Did you finish it?", and your progress moves itself. CAN'T DECIDE? PICK FOR ME One answer, from what you've saved, on a service you have. Choose a film or an episode, or narrow by mood. Not tonight sends it away until tomorrow. NEW EPISODE AND SEASON ALERTS A push with the show's poster when a new episode airs or a new season lands, per show, so you only hear about the ones you care about. A finished show that comes back moves back to Watching on its own. KNOW WHERE TO WATCH Tap once and ReelStack opens the right service searching for the exact title, not the app's homescreen. Saved a film you can't stream yet? ReelStack tells you the day it lands on one of your services. And if a saved show moves services, the app says so. TRACK EPISODE BY EPISODE Mark single episodes watched, not just whole seasons. The badge that says an episode is out is the button that ticks it, and one tap catches up everything before it. YOUR WEEK AT A GLANCE Up next lays out everything you're waiting on, day by day, with the services you have marked. SEE WHERE THE TIME WENT Stats, free for everyone: hours watched, episodes, shows finished, your top genres and services, and a year of your watching at a glance. Your month comes as a card you can share. TAP A NAME Search an actor or director, or tap one on any show, and see everything else they're in, with what's streaming on your services first. A Premium feature. YOUR LISTS, YOUR WAY Group shows into custom lists: date night, comfort rewatches, finish this year. Your first list is free. PICKS THAT LEARN FROM YOU For You builds rows of recommendations from what you rate, like "Because you rated Fleabag five stars". BRING YOUR WHOLE LIBRARY Import your IMDb watchlist in one pass, hundreds of titles matched exactly, no retyping. FAMILY BROWSING Set an age rating ceiling once, and Discover and search honor it, so a kid can look for something to watch. NOT WATCHING RIGHT NOW? Put a show On Hold or mark it Dropped. It moves to Shelved, out of the way but never lost. SHARE YOUR LIST Turn what you're watching, or every show you've finished, into a clean poster grid to post or send. BUILT FOR IPHONE AND IPAD A real iPad layout, not a stretched phone app: wider grids and a side by side detail view. SYNCS ACROSS YOUR DEVICES Your library stays in step on every device signed in to your iCloud. Nothing to set up, and still no account. Powered by TMDB

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Reko at none against ReelStack's 1. ReelStack's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (12 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
