How WannaWatch works
Same list. Separate phones. One match. Here’s the flow from “I’m bored” to “press play.”
-
Start or join a game
One person taps Quick play (or Custom game for filters like genre and streaming). Everyone else joins with the six-letter code — or from a friend invite.
-
Swipe the shared deck
Everyone sees the same titles in the same order. Like what you’d watch; pass on the rest. Nobody has to debate out loud until there’s a hit.
-
Match and watch
When the group likes the same title, it’s a match. Open details, check where it’s streaming, and start the movie night you actually agreed on.
FAQ
- Do I need an account?
- No. You can pick a display name and play right away. Creating a free login lets you restore your profile, friends, and purchases across devices.
- Is it only movies?
- You can play with movies and TV depending on the game filters. The idea is the same: swipe together until you overlap.
- What if nobody matches?
- Keep playing for a fresh batch from the same game, or start a new round with different filters.
- Are there ads?
- Free play may show small banners on home and results, plus a short sponsored pause about every 40 swipes. WannaWatch+ is $2.99/month and removes ads, unlocks Fine-tune, and keeps your full likes and matches history. Cancel anytime.
- Is there an iPhone app?
- Yes — search WannaWatch on the App Store, or use the web app at wannawatch.app on any device.
