What is JustWatch?
JustWatch is a search engine for streaming. You type in a movie or TV show and it tells you which services stream it, and where you can rent or buy it instead. It saves you from opening one app after another to check what is available.
The site also has top 10 charts, new arrivals and a section of free movies and shows. You can keep one watchlist across every service and get a notification when a title you want becomes available to stream. JustWatch covers many countries, and it has a mobile app and a JustWatch TV app with its own rental store.
