Is WhatAMovie really free? What's the catch?

Really free — no subscriptions, no in-app purchases, no ads. There's no catch because there are no servers to pay for: your library lives on your device and in your own iCloud.

Do I need to create an account?

No. There's no sign-up and no login. Sync between your devices happens through your personal iCloud, automatically.

How do I know where a movie is streaming?

Search any title and WhatAMovie shows which streaming apps have it in your country — Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Max, Apple TV+ and many more — with data from JustWatch, plus ratings from IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic.

Does it work in my country?

Yes — availability is country-aware for 41 countries, and you can switch anytime. Handy when you travel.

Can it track TV show episodes?

Yes. Mark episodes as you watch, see progress per season and per show, jump straight to the next episode, and get notified when new episodes premiere — up to a day in advance.

I used TV Time. Why should I trust another tracker?

TV Time shut down in July 2026 and deleted its users' data. That can't happen here: your library is stored in your iCloud, not on our servers, and you can export it anytime.

Which devices does it run on?

iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and Apple TV — all native, all synced through iCloud.

Does WhatAMovie play the movies?

No — it tells you where everything is available and takes you straight there to watch with your own subscriptions.

Your movies.
Your shows.
Your library.

See where anything is streaming, save it for later, track every episode. Free forever — no ads, no account, no catch.

Free. Forever. Actually.
