CHARLOTTE, N.C.– If you subscribe to Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu, Apple TV, Disney Plus, or Paramount, you know how much time it takes to find something to watch. You open one app, search for a title, then realize it is not there. You open another app, then another, until you finally give up or settle for something you have already seen. That is where an app called JustWatch saves time and frustration.
JustWatch is a free smartphone app that shows you where every movie or TV show is streaming. It gathers information from all of the major services in one place. You can choose which subscriptions you have and see what is available without switching between apps.
When you open JustWatch, select the streaming services you pay for. It includes everything from Netflix and Hulu to free options such as Tubi, Pluto TV, and The Roku Channel. Once your list is set, you will see what is new, what is popular, and what is trending with other users. The list updates daily.
You can browse by genre, such as comedy, mystery, or horror, and during the holidays, search specifically for Christmas movies. The filters make it even easier to find something worth watching. You can narrow results to movies with high ratings on Rotten Tomatoes or IMDb, so you avoid wasting time on shows that disappoint.
When you find something you like, tap to add it to your watchlist. It is a convenient way to plan a family movie night or keep track of titles you want to watch later.
The app also includes pricing information, so if a movie is not available on your current subscriptions, you will see where to rent or buy it.
JustWatch is available for iPhone, Android, smart TVs, and through its website. It is one of those small tools that make streaming simpler and help you spend more time watching instead of searching.
