About

Pledd

Read full description

Pledd is an app for keeping track of your shows, animes and movies, without the hassle. You check off an episode when you've watched it, and Pledd shows you the next one. You can also see when new episodes of your shows come out, and find everything you'd set aside for later. No more wondering where you left off: you open the app and you know what to put on. Your library brings together everything you follow, shows and movies, sorted by status: watching, to watch, finished, paused. When you follow a lot of things at once, it makes all the difference. Each detail page gives you the essentials: which platform to watch on, the cast, seasons and air dates. You can rate every episode, share how it made you feel, vote for your favorite character, and see what other members thought. And if you like numbers, your stats are there: time spent watching, episodes seen, favorite genres.
