Stop Searching. Just Watch.

Stop Searching. Just Watch.

It’s the end of the work week and you’re ready to watch a movie. You’ve been waiting all day to watch Pulp Fiction, but where can you stream it? This is question that leads film buffs into a frustrating and timely scavenger hunt. 

 

It’s not uncommon to check dozens of service subscriptions before finding your flick. In more unfortunate instances, the movie is not on any streaming service– wasting time and energy (as if you had much left wasted). Throughout the hunt, some users become distracted and compromise for another title to save time and discard original plans. It’s a struggle to find what you want to watch across several streaming services because often you don’t know what’s available unless it’s directly recommended to you.

With JustWatch, movie searches begin and end in one seamless experience. Find where to stream, rent, or buy any movie or TV show. The website shares elements with IMDB.com, but regarding finding streaming options, it is much more comprehensive than IMDB. IMDB is owned by Amazon. The “Watch Options” often pushes Amazon Prime subscription or rent/buy options ignoring other viable options, or they only suggest one of several streaming options. JustWatch may not replace IMDB for movie information, but it does include the IMDB rating, trailer, and film synopsis to explore other movie options within the website.

JustWatch is best utilized as a comprehensive searching browser across your various streaming subscriptions. There are four main tabs where you can surf and explore TV and movie titles across all your subscriptions.

JustWatch is available to download using the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
