Curated for You

One of the standout features of JustWatch is its personalized recommendations. You’ll find that the more you use it, the more it learns about your preferences and the more likely it will be able to suggest content you will enjoy. This makes it easy to discover movies and TV shows you might not have otherwise known about.

Designed as an app to keep all your streaming needs in one place, JustWatch helps you find where to watch a movie or TV show online. Once you type in the title of a movie you’re searching for, JustWatch will show you all the platforms where you can stream, watch for free with ads, buy, or rent it.

JustWatch connects with many of the top streaming services on the market — including Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video — and examines their content libraries for the most current results.

All Your Go-To's and More

JustWatch is also a powerful search engine that you can use to find specific titles, or to narrow down your search by genre, release year, streaming service, and more. This makes it easy to find what you're looking for — whether you're in the mood for a romantic comedy, sci-fi, true crime, or a brand-new TV show.

But the app isn't limited to movies and TV shows — it also offers a comprehensive list of streaming options for other types of content, such as documentaries, stand-up comedy specials, cartoons, and even anime.
