Watchlist | Movies & TV3.0.5 - App Store

Watchlist: Stop scrolling. Start watching.

With so many movies, shows, and streaming platforms out there, finding something to watch can feel overwhelming. Endless scrolling, and still nothing good? That's exactly why we built Watchlist.

- Save it in seconds. Add any movie or show to your personal watchlist with one tap. Use Voice Search to find titles just by describing them. Like Shazam for movies.
- Watch with friends. See what your friends are saving and recommending. Watchlist Overlap shows you which titles you have in common. Perfect for planning movie nights.
- Stop overpaying for streaming. Smart Picks analyzes your watchlist and tells you which streaming services actually match what you want to watch. And which ones you can cancel.
- Always ready to watch. Your watchlist loads the moment you open the app. Filter by genre, release date, or streaming service. No more endless browsing.
- Already have a list somewhere? Paste your movie lists from Apple Notes straight into Watchlist.

Love Watchlist? We'd really appreciate a quick rating in the App Store!

Version History Just ask. Tell Watchlist what you're in the mood for and get a ranked list back.

Tap the mic and say "Give me 10 sci-fi movies on Netflix" or "the best horror movies from the 80s". You'll get the most popular matches you can actually stream where you live, and you can add any of them to your watchlist right from the list.

Can't decide? Ask "What's a good drama I should watch tonight?" and you'll get five picks from the services you already pay for. No more scrolling until the popcorn goes cold.

Also in this update:
- Recent searches: bring back your last voice searches with one tap
