How to Quickly Find Out What’s Streaming on Multiple Services at Once
There is more to do watch more than ever, but maybe you still find yourself lazily scrolling through the “What’s new” carousel on Netflix and not seeing anything that really captivates you… so you do the same for Prime Video and Disney+ too.
The reality is that there is so much stuff on each of these streaming services that we can never hope to get through it all. The solution is to be a little more targeted in managing your viewing queue. By spending more time finding what you actually like, you’ll spend less time looking through thumbnails.
There are apps and sites that can help you here, cataloging everything that’s currently available on your streaming platforms of choice. There are a number of choices, but these are four of the best options.
JustWatch

JustWatch aims to provide a comprehensive movie, show, and sports listings service, and you can find it on the web, Android, and iOS. You don’t need to pay or even create an account to use the basic search function, but if you sign up, you can start creating your own watchlists. Meanwhile, paying $2.49 per month removes ads from JustWatch apps and gives you access to more lists and more filters.
There are two ways to use JustWatch: you can search for something specific you want to watch, or you can browse and see what’s available, platform by platform. If you opt for the first approach, on the web you can simply type the name of a movie or show into the search box at the top of the screen.
When you get a match, all of your viewing options will appear. These are broken down by streaming platform, but also by how much you’ll need to pay (if any) and whether you can watch them as part of a subscription (like Netflix) or whether you need to buy or rent the title.
Alternatively, just click on JustWatch to see what’s good. Select a specific streaming platform, for example, and you’ll be able to see what’s new or popular on that service. You can even combine filters to cover all the services you’re signed up for. Click on any title and you get a wealth of information about it, as well as options to add it to your JustWatch lists.
