Reelgood - Streaming Guide Reviews

I really enjoy Reelgood. I helps me see wha films are on witch current services and the fantastic amount of films presented on Reelgood.
One of the features I love, (and is probably my favorite) is the watchlist. I love putting movies on my “seen” and “haven’t seen” list. I mostly put movies on my “seen” list. I like seeing my movies all in one list, witch is why we are here. There are two separate lists, “On your services” and “Not on your services.” If you put a movie on your watchlist, then it goes to one of those lists on there. Witch is a really good feature, but there is no option where you can see the films in just one list. To me, that’s a big thing. I want to see all of my movies In one list, and the fact that they are split in two does not really make me happy. Unlike the website, you can have the option to see all of your movies in one list as well as seeing witch movies are on your services or not.
Maybe there is a option to change that and I just haven’t found it yet, but as of now I could not find anything, and it’s bothering me.
Thank you.

If you have a Roku, this app will change your life.

No more wasting time hunting for something to watch or where to watch something. I spent 1 hour adding TV shows and movies to my watch list and now I’ve got enough to watch for at least a year and I’ll save god knows how many hours over that time not wasting my time looking for something to watch every time I turn on the TV.

With this app I know if something is available on any of my services for free. I don’t have to hunt around in each of my services to see if it’s available. And, this app will notify me if anything in my watch list becomes available for free on any of my services.

By far, though, the best best best part of this app is that I can tap on something to watch in Reelgood and it will just start playing on my Roku. I don’t have to go the channel on my Roku and search for the thing I want to watch. Instead, this app launches the channel and starts playing it on my Roku for me.

My only nitpick is that I wish I could set defaults to get something playing on my bedroom Roku with one tap. We have 4 Rokus in the house so it asks me each time which Roku I want to play something on. 99.9% of the time I’m watching on the bedroom Roku. And, I’ll never want to play something on my daughter’s Roku in her bedroom. Also, if I tap to watch something on HBO it asks which version of HBO we have every time (HBO Go, HBO Now, Etc.). I don’t really care. We have HBO Now so just play it there.

Reelgood does most of exactly what I was looking for in a TV/Movie organizing way. There are a few improvements I would like to see. 1) Reelgood consistently kicks me out if I use it for more than a few minutes, at least it has saved everything I’ve done to that point. 2) Shows that I’ve seen and no longer tracking need to go in a separate place. Most of the suggestions were things I had already seen and I had marked as such. This way if I want to see them again I know where to find them without them clogging my suggestions. 3) In the summary section maybe include a little more information. Can’t really get a sense of some descriptions maybe the top cast. FYI The Odd Couple original and newer version episodes are smushed together. Some dates are wrong but I know y’all are working on that. Keep up the good work!

I love the look of this app and the simplicity of how it works, but unfortunately an app like this is only as good as its database and it is just not good.. at all. TV series have missing episodes, duplicate episodes, episodes with no summary, episodes stuck in the wrong season. And the most important thing — which streaming services these programs are available on — is often incomplete or woefully out of date. Even the list of services is sometimes out of whack. For example, Sundance Now is supported, but bizarrely I cannot add it to my list of services. Why?? And I wish I could say the support is good at least, but I contacted them two years ago about a series where each episode was listed three times (for three different services — none of which was the one I was watching it on), and although I received a prompt and polite response, it’s still never been fixed. Now, if you only watch movies or the most mainstream TV, this app may work fine for you. But I find JustWatch to be far more reliable.

Reelgood is awesome, especially for those of us who have cut the cable & only watch TV through streaming services. Last year, it was a pain keeping track of what episodes to watch, across different streaming services & channels. Reelgood has made the impossible, possible & made it so much easier for people like me. The only reason I took off a star was because of the remote. I have a fire TV, but the remote only works with Roku, which I also have, but I prefer FireTV. So, if you could make your next update so it would include a fireTV remote, it would definitely get that 5th star. Also, fireTV does not have a remote app which also works on your Apple Watch, like Roku does, so it would be awesome if you added that compatibility as well. (BTW... I don’t normally write up reviews, so that should say a lot about how much I like Reelgood .)

A friend of mine posted about Reelgood on Facebook, so I thought I’d give it a try and it has become my go-to for figuring out what I want to watch and where I can find it. I love that Reelgood provides suggestions based on a particular movie you are looking at. I’ve found four to five movies to watch I never would have considered or even known about that I ended up loving. I also love that Reelgood has the ability to build a watch list so I don’t forget about a movie that catches my attention. Reelgood is a must-have for any self-isolationist. I love that it is free, but I would have happily paid for this service. Great job!

I just started exploring Reelgood recently, but have already noticed several shows and movies are not listed correctly or are not found at all. Reelgood says some of the shows I watch on Tubi, Pluto, IMDb TV, etc. are unavailable. For instance My Kitchen Rules (Australia and New Zealand) and Britain’s Best Bakery are free on Tubi, but this app says they are not available. The Ghost Inside My Child is on IMDb TV, but Reelgood can’t find that show at all. I just watched Midsomer Murders on the Roku Channel a few days ago, but Reelgood only says it’s on Tubi and IMDb TV. Movies I can watch on Pluto are also shown as “not streaming yet.” To add insult to injury, I downloaded Reelgood because I read news articles that said it can launch shows on my Roku devices, but that feature doesn’t appear to be included in the iPhone app yet.

Reelgood has a great UI and makes browsing/adding movies easy. The information has always been accurate and up-to-date so far. Most of all, I love that I can have just one watchlist for all of my services! It’s now the only one that I use, and I’ve searched everywhere for a replacement.

There are a couple features that I’d really like to see, though. One is to be able to organize the watchlist with drag-and-drop and filter the watchlist by genre. Another feature I’d really like is to be able to view and browse through the “collections” easier. Movies are tagged with sub-categories and you can browse them through movies tagged in the collection, but it would be nice to see all the sub-categories/collections laid out to choose from.

Reelgood is near perfect. Just set it up with all the services your subscribe to and go. A cure for endless scrolling through the absolute rubbish menus that the streaming services provide.

The only glitch I’ve found is that the database doesn’t always inclide alternate titles (eg when a movie has a diff titles in the US vs overseas) which can inhibit searching, so the ability to suggest cross references might be helpful moving forward. I think the rating system (loved/liked/dislike) needs one more option for movies you can sort of take or leave (I think of this as the “meh” response).

Recommending this one to everyone I know.

I thought there must be a site or app that can add all my streaming services and channels, not just the known ones or top 5, and allow me to search for a movie or show and it tells me where to watch it. Google is only so helpful, Reelgood is IT. And it’s intuitive. And it works fantastic with my Roku TV, but I’d use it even if I didn’t have Roku. I love Reelgood. And the watchlist- I’ve found so many amazing shows I’ve never heard of because there’s literally just too many options. I’ve turned off in-app review option, but came to Reelgood Store to let this app know I appreciate their app.

Love the idea of this service, but the search function is very slow. Start typing the movie name and it will search for everything with the first letter. By then you’ve typed in the whole name but it’s reloaded with results for maybe the first three letters. Then it might reload again to find the rest of the title, or it might just stop, so maybe the movie you’re looking for will be in the results but you have to scroll to find it. The sort function doesn’t seem to work at all. If you pick one of the options it pretty much seems to ignore you. There’s no way to edit TV series you’re following. I must have accidentally tapped a program I have no interest in, but I can’t delete it.

Awesome, love it, beautiful interface that pops especially in dark mode. Everything is up-to-date in terms of viewing choices and which platforms those choices are available. Honestly it is a 5-star App but I gave it 4 because I had one suggestion: any chance you could add YouTubeTV as a selection in the area where we add the services we have? Instead of having to check ☑️ ABC, Fox, NBC, HGTV and all of the other networks within YouTubeTV’s lineup it would be cool to just check ☑️ next to YouTubeTV. Obviously that would then automatically check each network in YouTubeTV’s package. Maybe Hulu-LiveTV too? Anyway, just a thought!
Love your App!

I’d been using JustWatch for a long time and was completely unhappy with how often Reelgood crashed, and how it was not very user friendly. Did some googling and found this app and I’m so happy I did. It’s clean, snappy, and shows movies that you actually want to see instead of just whatever crap is new. I put in my watchlist(about 400 movies I want to see) and it gives me recommendations based on that which is great. I love the roulette feature, as well as being able to see if something on my watchlist is on a free service I don’t use. I’ve already recommended Reelgood to several friends.

I have half a dozen streaming services so Reelgood saves me a ton of time and energy that would otherwise be spent shifting from service to service to find a title. I’ve never experienced any trouble in terms of bugs and I wish I found Reelgood earlier.

That being said I have one criticism. For the developers I strongly recommend having a filter for cinema/tv rating (TV-14, R, etc). The amount of kids movies that I have to sort through to find a decent R-rated comedy film is an inconvenience to say the least. I am definitely not the only one with this issue.

When I started using Reelgood, I tied it to my Gmail account, and was very excited to track across all my subscriptions. It wasn’t until I logged into Reelgood through the native LG app that I lost all my track shows and services. I reached out to support, but heard nothing back. So I started again, building my watch list for the second time. Everything was showing up on my iPhone. Then I decided to log in to Reelgood on the Apple TV. All my data was gone again. So now I am rebuilding my list. I like the interface, but if I can’t use it across devices, whether iOS or other devices, what’s the point? I’ll try one more time, but if I lose my data again, I’ll move to another universal search app.

I had originally thought when Reelgood crashed I had lost all of the shows I'd added in. What had actually happened was that it had logged me out. After attempting to start over I was prompted to login and all of the shows were there. All good there.
Reelgood can get bogged down when using it for too long. I'm on an iPhone X and after clicking back and forth on shows, switching back and forth from other apps, the clicks become less responsive. I've not had another crash yet, but I've also not used it for three hours straight.

Original:App crashed and deleted all of the tracked shows I spent three hours manually adding to it. What a waste of time.

This is a great app, but with one big issue. Each time you click on a movie to add it to your watch list or add it to your already seen list, it shows up as a completely different movie. Very difficult to use Reelgood when you can’t even select the movie you want. Would be a perfect app if this issue was fixed!

Also, Reelgood does not link to your online account via a browser. So you can’t sign in to your account on Reelgood , they give you a dummy email address to use instead. So your shows and movies you track on Reelgood does not show up when using your account on a browser. And stuff you add on a browser does not show up when using Reelgood . What’s the point if I can’t sign in using my account on Reelgood and access my info across browser and app?

No more browsing around the web to find out what’s available or new on the services I’m currently paying for. Plus, notifying me when a desired show or movie comes to a service I’m paying for? Terrific!!! Plus having the Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB info integrated is also a game changer.
Keep up the good work. I have started so many lists on so many services and they end up disappearing or going out of business.
There’s a great need for a centralizing service like this in this day of fractured ways to access content.

"I've always needed an app to organize what movies I want to watch. I used to make a watch list on my notes app on my phone, but this makes the process so much easier. Thank you and keep up the good work!

On a side note, it would be great if we could star the movies we want to see right away, to move them to the top of the list"

That was before they did the new update and look. Now it's more difficult to find movies. I lost all of what I had on my list so I have to start over. I can't search for directors or actors, only by the movie name. What happened??!

This aggregates all of your streaming services and is able to tell you everything you are able to stream. For someone like me who has ditched cable and has 8 streaming services, this is amazing. It even has features to help you find what to watch and features for you and your friends and family to swipe and find matches and choose from a list of movies or shows we all swiped right on! It’s revolutionary and I use this all the time. I cannot stress enough how awesome Reelgood is!

This is a very good service and a very nice app. I had been using Sidereel to track TV shows ... but they discontinued their mobile apps. I interpreted this move as the nail in their coffin .., so I looked for a replacement. I found it in this app. this app tracks TV shows and helps the user know what should be viewed next. To sweeten the pot, this app also tracks movies to be seen.

If I had one criticism, it would be that this app sometimes does not list new programs in a timely way. Once the program is in the database, all is perfect ... but perhaps the team should manage coming shows a little more closely.

Reelgood is great.. it not only allows me to look up movies across all of my subscriptions but also lets me add them to my watchlist, making it super easy to pick a movie when I’m ready to watch one. Definitely a must have for people like me who generally tend to have a long list of movies to watch but can’t think of any when it’s time to actually watch something. The addition of a direct link to content that takes me directly to the content page in the relevant app is much appreciated as well.

Reelgood is a godsend. For all those who have cut the cord for streaming services I couldn't recommend Reelgood more. Instead of opening every app to browse through content you can browse through all the services you have access to at once here. I have access to almost every streaming service available, so browsing for a movie can be quite time consuming. Not anymore. I love Reelgood and use it every time I am searching for something to watch. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

There is no perfect app for this yet, IMHO. I was excited to find Reelgood has so many sources! But the UI is a lot harder to use than FanTV or even JustWatch. You can’t control all the sources from Reelgood , only a very few. You have to login to the site from a web browser to see them all and enable/disable them. Never could find a place to enable/disable CBS OTA. For TV series you get one chance to identify having seen a number of previous episodes. If you are tracking binge watching a bunch of series, all the unseen episodes are jumbled together on one screen, not even sorted by show. Maybe if all you use it for is searching, then it’s fine. Keeping track of your shows is a nightmare.

I normally ended up using one or two of the services I have access to, so this has helped me spread what I watch around. Definitely glad I find this.
There’s even a roulette function which is helpful when you don’t know what to watch. The only issue with that is that you can’t filter passed if you want a show or movie. Being able to say what genre you want or a particular service would be helpful. But that’s the only issue I have.

I have subscriptions for a couple of services, and this is so helpful in figuring where I can watch a show or movie. You customize which services you subscribe to, and Reelgood tells you where (if anywhere) you can find it. It’s also been great for looking up old shows and movies that you’ve been wondering if it’s available to stream. Definitely makes having all that choice manageable and help you get the most out of those subscriptions.

I subscribe to many streaming sources so Reelgood is a tremendous help in keeping track of all my shows and movies. Also has great suggestions on which shows I may like. I'm able to use it across different devices (iPhone/iPad) as well as on the web (super handy for first-time user to add many shows/movies) which is all synced. Support is 5 stars and are very welcoming in receiving suggestions. It has changed so much, for the better, over last several versions.

Could you please add ways to sort TV shows I’m tracking? Like by number of episodes/total runtime left. I’m currently trying to clear out my backlog of TV shows I started but never finished.

I would also love a way to mark or archive shows when you watch part of a series and then stop. There are multiple shows whose first couple of seasons are great, but slowly grow stale. I’d like a way to still mark them as seen, but not actively track.

I've been using Reelgood for some time and it keeps getting better. If you subscribe to multiple streaming services, you will benefit from all the information available on this app.

One possible improvement might be an active link to IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes. Reelgood gives you the rating from both, but it could be nice to be able to actually see the all the info from both sites.

Still, this is a great and useful app.

I use this app anytime I want to watch anything. Their tracking app covers basically every network and streaming service imaginable. They are by far the most comprehensive movie and tv tracker.

I wish they would have a section showing what moved into your streaming service and out of your streaming service recently but other than that Reelgood is perfect. Highly recommended.

Obsessed with Reelgood, it’s so easy to use and convenient for tracking all of my favorite shows and movies. However, I wish there was a feature for organizing your “watch next” list into different genres for easier searching. Also, it doesn’t track any of my paramount or Disney + content yet. Hopefully this will be fixed soon!!

Insanely useful to track what to watch across services, as well as alert me when new episodes are available. I previously used text lists to manage things I wanted to watch, but this is sooo much better!

Hear about a good new show? Add it so you don’t lose track. Enjoy a show currently on hiatus? Add it so you know when new episodes start back up.

One minor UI criticism: sometimes I have a hard time tapping into a series for the episode list vs expanding the specific episode on the “Watch Next” tab. Seems like I have to tap on the series title twice for it to register (could just be a bug)?

Anyway, I love Reelgood and would be lost (TV/movie-wise) without it. Keep up the great work!
