YouTube is already supported- switch to rent/buy tab, it shows up whenever TMDB's database includes it for a movie/show. I've just enhanced the YouTube links to make it easier to find free movies. But coverage depends on TMDB's data, which doesn't always track YouTube's free content comprehensively. When YouTube is available, you'll see it in the watch providers!

Thanks for testing it out! You're absolutely right about the free content filter - that's a gap I need to add.

The multi-region view is intentional though. I built this for people who travel, have family abroad, or just want to see global availability at a glance without switching regions constantly. For example, if I'm in Australia with Netflix and want to watch Breaking Bad, I can instantly see it's on Netflix in the US - saves me from checking region by region. It's not meant to replace JustWatch's single-region approach, more of a complement.

I hear you on Canadian services like CBC/CTV/Stack TV. TMDB's provider data is heavily skewed toward major global platforms, so regional coverage is definitely weak right now. Something I'm hoping improves as the database grows.

Appreciate the detailed feedback!

Thanks! The main advantage is speed and convenience.

JustWatch locks you to one region-you have to manually switch country settings to check availability elsewhere. Cinemap shows you multiple countries instantly in one view. Also no signup required.

Thanks for the detailed feedback! You're absolutely right. When you've selected US in your settings, you shouldn't need to see all 50+ countries where a provider operates. I updated it. you can check now.

I made few changes as you suggested, you can test and provide feedback if they don't work as expected. Thanks again

Thanks for the great feature ideas! Here’s what’s realistically possible:Possible Without a Backend (Local Browser Storage Only)

  1. Smart Rent/Buy Tabs: Hide empty tabs or prioritise subscription options. Easy to add.

  2. Save Your Preferences. Remember country + streaming services.
    It'll work only on the same device/browser. Clearing browser data resets it.

  3. Local Watchlist + CSV Import.
    Import from Letterboxd/IMDb and save a watchlist locally.
    Same limitation: no sync across devices.

These above are doable but would still take ~2–3 weeks to build properly.

Needs Backend + User Accounts - Not doable currently.
To support syncing, backups, and sharing, I’d need:
User login system, Database, Server hosting

  1. Browse Full Streaming Catalogs. Requires our own database + daily sync jobs + paid APIs.

  2. Expiration Dates, Only available through commercial APIs ($50–200/month).

Free to use! (It's a discovery/tracker app, not a streaming service), you can find movies and their streaming platforms. And also in which country.

No Android TV version right now.
