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

Binge Queue — Your Personal Watch Library Binge Queue is a personal tracking and journaling app for the movies and TV shows in your life. Everything in the app is built around your data — your logs, your ratings, your collections, and your viewing history. Your Watch Journal Log every title you watch with a date, where you watched it (at home, in a theater, or on a trip), who you were with, and your personal notes. Your journal is entirely yours — every entry is created and owned by you, stored privately on your device. Your Ratings & Reviews Rate any title 1–5 stars and write a personal note about what you thought. See your full rating history, average score, and distribution in your personal Stats view. Your Collections Organize titles into custom lists with any name and emoji you choose "Pizza Night Picks," "Flight Movies," "Books I Want to Watch," or anything else. Build your library your way. Your Tags Create personal tags with custom names and emojis to label titles however makes sense to you — mood, occasion, who to watch it with. Your tags are unique to you and can be applied to any title. Your Episode Tracker Track exactly which episodes you've watched, season by season, for any TV show. Your progress is stored privately and syncs across your library. Year in Review At the end of every year, see a summary of everything you logged — how many titles, which months were busiest, your favorite venue, and the people you watched with. Generate a shareable summary card to send to friends. Viewing Goals Set a personal target for how many movies and TV shows you want to watch each year. Animated progress rings track your pace against your goals, powered by your journal. Recommendation Inbox Log recommendations from friends so you never forget who told you about something. Track whether you've watched it, add their note, and see the full history of what people have suggested to you. Watch Reminders Set a local notification reminder for any title so your device reminds you when it's time to watch — even when the app is closed. Library Backup Export your entire library — journal, ratings, collections, tags, watchlist, and episode progress — as a file you control. Restore it anytime, on any device. iOS Integration Titles you save are indexed in iOS Spotlight, so you can find anything in your library directly from the home screen without opening the app. Discovery Tools Search and browse a comprehensive movie and TV database to find new titles to add to your library. Filter by genre, decade, streaming service, runtime, rating, and more. See which of your streaming subscriptions carry a title and where else it's available. AI Critic Get an AI-generated consensus review for any title — a score, a TL;DR, and a breakdown of what works and what doesn't. Add your own API key for OpenAI or Anthropic, or use the built-in fallback. Privacy: All your personal data — journal entries, ratings, collections, tags, and goals — is stored privately on your device and never uploaded to any server.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BingeQueue at none against ReelStack's 1. ReelStack's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
