Our Privacy Policy sets out how each tier is handled. • Sign In Your Way: Use Sign in with Apple or Google.

The Better Way to Stream Most "recommendation" engines just want to sell you more subscriptions. Bitflinger TV is different. We focus on your library and your preferences. It's the power-user tool for the Golden Age of Television. Free Tier & Subscription Bitflinger TV is free to use for as long as you like — a real account, not a countdown. A free account gets genre selection; the smart watchlist, search, and detail screens; Plex & Jellyfin; and your personalized streaming services — on up to 3 devices in your household, browsing the first 250 titles in each row.* An optional auto-renewable subscription adds: • Every title in every row, not just the first 250 • Unlimited devices in your household • Filter by critic/user score • Filter by release date • Personalized themes and card styles • Apple Family Sharing • Bitflinger TV (Monthly) — $2.99 / month • Bitflinger TV (Annual) — $23.99 / year New subscribers get a free trial where the App Store offers one; you'll see the exact terms and your eligibility before you confirm. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Your subscription renews automatically unless turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings. Canceling drops you back to the free version rather than locking you out. * First 250 per row: on the free tier, each row browses the first 250 unfiltered results for that row rather than the full catalog behind it. That cap is what keeps the free tier viable for us to run — a subscription removes it.

Stop juggling six streaming apps just to remember where you left off. WatchQueue is one home for everything you're watching — it tracks every show and movie down to the episode, shows you where to stream each one, and always knows what to play next. KNOW WHAT'S NEXT Open any series and the next unwatched episode is already waiting — with its synopsis, air date, and a one-tap jump into the app that's streaming it. Mark episodes or whole seasons watched, and your Up Next keeps itself current. WHERE TO WATCH — YOURS FIRST Every title shows exactly which apps carry it, split into Stream and Rent or Buy. The services you already pay for surface first, so you never rent something you could've streamed for free. DISCOVER SOMETHING TO WATCH New episodes this week, what's trending, and what's popular — plus a personalized row for each of your streaming services, so Discover reflects what you can actually watch tonight. YOUR LISTS, TOGETHER The Lists tab brings your Trakt lists and your Plex watchlist into one place as clean rails of poster art. Add anything to a list straight from Discover, Search, or a title's page. DECIDE IN SECONDS Not sure what to put on? Sort your in-progress shows by Fewest Left, Most Left, or Recently Watched — or just hit Shuffle. Started something months ago and drifted? Round up the ones you abandoned and finish them or let them go. ONE APP, EVERY SCREEN WatchQueue is a universal app: buy it once and it's yours on iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV. Your whole queue stays in sync across all of them through iCloud — no account required. BRING YOUR HISTORY (OPTIONAL) • Connect Trakt to pull in everything you've already watched and keep your progress in sync everywhere. • Point WatchQueue at your Plex server and it marks what you already own right on the posters — then opens any title or episode in Plex or Infuse. WatchQueue is great the moment you open it, and even better with the services you already use. One queue, finally in one place.
