This App Makes It Easier to Keep Track of Everything on Your Watchlist

Frankly, there’s too much content out there to keep up with. I don’t know how anyone stays on top of new episodes of the buzziest shows rather than rewatching the same comfort shows over and over again. But, still, there’s new TV and movies to catch up on, and if you don’t want to lose your mind trying to keep track of it all, you’d be well served to turn to a platform to help curate your interests.

JustWatch has always been on my radar as a solid option for finding new shows and movies to watch, as well as keeping track of the titles you complete. The company hosts a giant compendium of shows and movies, including which streaming services you can find them on. Think of it like a TV Guide for the streaming era. It’s available as a website, as well as an app for iPhone and Android.

Recently, the company added some cool updates to its Watchlist feature that seem worth checking out. The JustWatch Watchlist is now broken into three different categories:

• My Lists: This section is similar to the original Watchlist you may be familiar with, but there are some key new features here. You can now use it to build different lists of shows and movies you want to watch, which should work great for separating lists of titles to watch with your family from the ones you want to watch by yourself or with friends. (After all, Bluey and Oppenheimer don’t need to be on the same list.) You can also import lists from other JustWatch users or from IMDB, which should make finding something new to watch a little easier, and you can share your lists with other users. These imported lists will tell you which streamers each title can be found on, so you don’t need to go hunting for each one.
• Public Lists: This section is where you can go to find lists of TV shows and movies from JustWatch curators. JustWatch says you’ll be able to find lists for categories from the Academy Awards, to lists about specific actors, directors, or franchises.
• TV Show Tracking: This section should be a welcome addition to anyone who wants to keep tabs on the many, many shows that are out there to binge. You can add shows in your queue, then check them off as “Continue Watching”, “Haven’t Started,” or “Caught Up,” depending on their status.

In addition to the changes to Watchlist, JustWatch also updated its streaming service selection feature. According to the company, it should be easier to know how much each streamer costs, what you get with each, and where you can rent or buy content (as well as where you can watch that content for free).
