Introducing Streaming Options from JustWatch

Post by mpowell »

We're excited to announce that Criticker has partnered with JustWatch, allowing our users to more easily find films and TV shows on various streaming services. You might have already seen this in action -- we actually implemented the functionality last week, but wanted to make sure it worked well before announcing it properly.

The service is specific to the streaming services in individual countries, and we've rolled it out so far in the US, UK, Germany, Spain, and Turkey. We'll be expanding it to other countries soon!

Hope you find this to be a great enhancement to Criticker!

Great addition! Would be cool if we could browse a list of movies from Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, etc. from Criticker.

It's certainly a neat feature.

I wonder, however, whether this includes links to movies in the public domain on Youtube?

I love this feature. Thanks.

How do I tell which country the results it is showing me are for?

I'm in a country that is not one of those mentioned above, and am seeing justwatch results that don't match the justwatch results for my country when I look the film up directly on justwatch.

Seems to be working in Canada, including using Canada-specific providers.

Great feature, thank you!

Can we have clarification on the Canada situation? Streaming services that are only available in Canada are showing up, so it looks like it's set up for here too.

Yeah, we do have it configured now for Canada!

We'll be trying to add more countries as soon as possible :)
