JustWatch: how not to miss the best streaming content
JustWatch is one of the best Android applications to install on your smartphone: trust me, you won’t be able to do without it. A few years ago choosing which film or TV series to watch was quite simple, in fact it was enough to go to Netflix and browse the catalog. But now that the streaming services market is becoming more and more competitive and each service has its own exclusives, browsing each catalog has become really difficult.
Precisely for this reason JustWatch can become your valid helper, given that tracks all content across 37 streaming services, showing you where you can find a certain movie or TV show. In fact, just search for the title to find out if that content is available on Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, Apple TV+ or other services. Also, it shows you whether the content is also available for rental or purchase.
You can also search for new content to watch in the “popular” and “new” sections of the app, discovering new movies or TV series. Furthermore, each content card is accompanied by a small written synopsis and the trailer. In the new tab “sport”, then, you can see the programming of your favorite sports and the services that host the games.
