Watchlist - Movies & TV Shows

Overall it’s a nice looking app with potential. A couple of issues though. I would like to see an iCloud backup option, especially for an app that costs 1.99. Also, the feature “Where to Watch” doesn’t appear to be working which is a bummer. It would be nice if a movie in my list had a link to the movie’s trailer and specifies the exact release date. Which could then be added to your calendar.... I’d pay extra for that. Update: dev fixed the “Where to Watch” issue. 👍

My wife and I ALWAYS make comments like “I want to see that” or “We will catch that when it’s available for rent” but always forget. I have tried to use my simple Notes app on the iPhone but it doesn’t have the features here. Already watched the movie? Just double click it on your Watchlist! Best of all, it tell you where you can access the movie, rather than search yourself through the services. I’m sure upgrades and features will change, but I am loving it in this early release format and swear I am in no way affiliated with the developers or benefitting from this review in anyway.

Thanks so much for adding iCloud by the way. You emailed back to me, said you would do it, and you did my man! That’s when I bought the app, and I’m all set on what tv shows to watch next. All organized. Your commitment to updates are awesome, thanks for doing that. It gets better and better. I have a great idea that hopefully you could make happen, too. Could you somehow add in the Seasons for each tv series? for example, I’ve seen Stranger Things Season 1, but I want to see Season 2. That way I can mark that I’ve seen the first season and keep the second season on my watchlist. It would be nice to have! Thanks!

I just bought this on my iPad (where I watch most movies) and was disappointed when it showed up in the iPhone compatibility mode. I would LOVE to see this support ipad in portrait and landscape.... then maybe I’ll feel like it was worth my $2. Until then, it’s really awkward to use the app. Another note, for some reason I thought this app would give me a list of movies right off the bat and I’d ‘check’ the ones I wanted to see -discarding the rest. I guess I was thinking of something like a ‘tinder’ interaction where I could filter through an endless list of movies and fill out my watchlist as a form of exploration.

This minimalism fad is getting on my nerves. I’ve bought several apps now that end up having only the most basic function that comes in most similar free apps. I mostly wanted good movie recommendations, but all it is is one randomly selected popular movie every time you hit the search button. If you want a good app for a watchlist, go get Letterboxd or something that at least has some reviews with it. Also, the where to stream feature barely works. I only tried a couple movies but most said unavailable to watch even though I know they’re on one of the streaming services.
