Encue vs Showries

Stop bouncing between five apps to find one thing to watch. Encue shows you where any movie or show is streaming, and what your friends say to watch next. Pick the services you pay for and Encue does the rest: subscription, free, free with ads, rent or buy, plus what’s in theaters and what’s coming soon. Your picks come from people you trust, not an engagement-driven feed. SEE WHERE IT’S STREAMING • Search any movie or show and instantly see every place to watch it. • Or describe what you’re in the mood for, like slow burn British crime or feel good 90s comedies, and search finds it. • Turn on My Services and Home and Browse narrow to what you can actually watch tonight. • Filter by genre, rating, runtime, and age rating. • Browse every genre, or dive into collections like In Theaters, Coming Soon, Hidden Gems, and Limited Series. • Top Charts rank the highest rated titles worldwide and on each service, with gold, silver, and bronze medals at the top. NEVER MISS WHEN IT LANDS • Add something that isn’t streaming yet and Encue keeps an eye out, then sends a notification when it starts streaming. • New Season and New Series badges flag the moment a favorite returns. • Track shows episode by episode and pick up right where you left off. ASK YOUR PEOPLE • Send a friend a recommendation with a note and a tag like Date Night or Watch Together, in the app or straight to Messages. • Can’t decide? Ask your circle what to watch and get real suggestions back. • Like and comment on what friends watch, rate, and review. • Follow Encue’s curator accounts for anime, horror, and indie films worth your time. • Show your taste with Four Favorites on a shareable profile. KNOW WHAT YOU’RE WATCHING • Every title page shows the cast, the crew, the trailer, release details, and the age rating. • Tap any actor or director to read their bio and see their full filmography. NEVER LOSE A TITLE AGAIN • Save anything to your Watchlist, Favorites, or your own lists. • Mark a title watched and it files into your Journal automatically. • Rate and review everything you finish, down to single seasons and episodes, so future you remembers. Free, with no ads. Less scrolling. More watching. Your next favorite is probably one friend away. Streaming availability data provided by JustWatch. Movie and TV data from TMDB.

Everything you watch. In one place. Your personal diary for TV shows and films: fast to update, beautiful to explore, made for people who take the couch seriously. Start tracking straight away — no account required. Link Apple, Google or an email later, and everything follows you to your other devices. ONE TAP. LOGGED. Mark an episode the moment it ends. The shutter snaps, Up Next moves on, and you always know where you left off. Track shows and films as watched, watching, planned or dropped, episode by episode — with a complete history of everything you have seen. THE AFTER-WATCH IS A RITUAL Rate shows, seasons and episodes. Write a review while it is still fresh, add a reaction, or join the conversation with a comment and a GIF. Spoiler protection keeps reviews and comments hidden until you are ready. Reaction percentages appear only once enough people have voted, so no single opinion sets the tone. Follow people, see what they are watching, like their activity and reply to the conversation. SHARING, DONE PROPERLY This is where Showries shines. Every opinion becomes something worth posting. Turn reviews, comments, reactions, predictions and winners into polished visual content: 9:16 stories for Instagram and TikTok, animated GIF comments, review carousels, quote cards and event results. Write the quote your way: pick the part that matters, set words in bold or italic, choose the size and watch the story change as you type. Too much to say? Showries splits it into numbered stories, ready to post in order — or saves them all to your photos at once. YOUR YEAR, TOLD PROPERLY See how much you have watched, what is still waiting, what you rewatched and which platforms you actually use. Explore your diary, monthly summaries, statistics and a year-end Wrapped made to share. AWARDS NIGHT, LIVE Follow the Oscars, Emmys, BAFTA, Golden Globes, Critics Choice, Cannes, Venice and more. See the nominees connected to your library, discover which films and people you have already watched, and follow the winners live. Live Activities bring the ceremony to your Lock Screen with live progress and the latest winners — follow the night without opening the app, and get a notification when a title you have watched wins. MAKE YOUR PREDICTIONS Think you know who will win? Choose your favourites before the ceremony starts. Predictions lock when the event begins, and once the winners are in, Showries tells you how many you got right — ready to share as a scorecard.
