Back when streaming services consisted of only one choice, Netflix, life was simpler. All you had to do to watch television or movies was visit Netflix.com and browse the selection of content that they had at the time. There were no release dates to remember or confusing list of available seasons. There was only one choice - go to Netflix, choose from what was available and enjoy. Life was easy - a DVD rental or purchase at the store and you're set.
So, if you want something to watch, it seems like you?ve got quite the task on your hands!
Today, as many of you are already aware, there is no such thing as simplicity when choosing what to watch from our favorite streaming services. Not only are there so many to choose from (all of which come with their own individual price tag), but each one offers a very limited scope of content now. Each one, at least the big three, offers its own original content, plus a constantly cycling list of syndicated programs. So, if you want something to watch, it seems like you have quite the task on your hands!
I find it nearly impossible to keep track of what service has what show or movie at any given time. Not only is it hard enough to try and remember whether it was Hulu or Netflix or Amazon Prime Video that produces my favorite shows like Righteous Gemstones - oh, wait, but that was also HBO! D?oh! But add to the confusion the fact that each syndicated program and movie is only featured on each service for a limited time, and it can be a dizzying affair.
Google does not provide much help when searching for information about Schitt's Creek. Usually, Google has all the answers like a digital oracle, but with questions about this show, it is of little to no help. You will find your answers, sure, eventually, but usually not without a fair amount of digging and scrolling and clicking around.
If only there was a website that could provide information on how to watch specific shows and movies, such as Google-style websites for streaming content. If only there were a website solely dedicated to streaming content where users can enter any show or movie and it will tell them what features are available on different platforms, such as what the cost would be if it's an episode or movie that can be rented or purchased.
There are numerous websites like this that exist, and of course there are because if you can think it, chances are it is on the internet somewhere. Some streaming site search engines, however, are better designed than others. But another thing to keep in mind when choosing a streaming site search engine is how many platforms that the site allows you to search between. Because, honestly, some of these sites have a pitiful list of options.
If you have been considering using Reel Good as your go-to streaming site search engine, you have good instincts. It is one of the largest streaming site search engines on the internet. But it also offers many more convenient features to enjoy. Let's dive in and take a look at all of them, shall we?
History
A streaming site search engine scans across all of the current content on streaming sites when you type a title into the search box. It is important to note that these sites do not host any content and are just providing links to where you can find show or movie titles on streaming services. Some streaming site search engines also offer links to purchase Blu-ray or DVD copies of the titles if they are available.
If you choose to register with Reel Good, you will have access to special functions that are only available through registration.
A streaming site search engine is a software that allows users to find streaming sites. This type of software has been around for a while, and started becoming popular around 2015. Reel Good was named the best streaming site search engine in 2017 by Decider.com and Wired.
Design and Content
The layout of Reel Good is very similar to that of Netflix, which makes browsing and finding new content an enjoyable and familiar experience. Whether you are simply browsing, or you are looking for a specific title, Reel Good provides everything you will need for a great user experience.
The website provides users with access to information about the movies and TV shows they've searched for, as well as the ability to watch them immediately. Additionally, the site functions as an archive of information about individual titles.
Alongside where it is currently available, you will also be able to see the Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB scores, synopses, cast and crew lists, and some Reel Good-specific scores. Reel Good offers both a stream ability score for the title, as well as an aggregated Reel Good critic score (based on ratings and reviews from around the web).
Plus, if that wasn't enough, Reel Good streamsline the experience even further by providing suggested titles based on the one you originally looked up. Browse a lengthy list of ?more shows and movies like it,? additional titles in the same genre and subgenres, and a list of movies and shows that users also liked. Reel Good truly has the potential to be the one-stop-shop for any and everything related to streamable content. I may not even go to Netflix or Hulu directly anymore, this site is so useful. I may just start visiting Reel Good first and linking my accounts. I don't see why not - if you have multiple video streaming service accounts, it truly makes the experience much more convenient if you ask me!
Mobile and Desktop Experience
I enjoy the desktop experience of the website as much as I do the app, however the app is also great. I find it more enjoyable to use the website than the app because there is more potential for customization and control on a computer. For example, streaming movies is essentially the same using a computer as it is using a phone browser. Is this not so, do you think?
That being said, the app isn't bad, not by any means. It has only slightly clunky navigation and is a little more difficult to use- but not by much. The app is available on the Apple App Store (sorry Android users), where it has an average rating of 4.3 stars- which I think is very appropriate.
Pricing and Plans
Surprisingly enough, Reel Good is completely free to use. I say ?surprising? because of all that it offers. There are occasional ads, of course, but that is a small price to pay for all of the great services that Reel Good provides (not to mention the beautiful execution, too, of the way it is designed).
Suggestions that I have for Reel Good
I don't even know if this would be possible, but it would be nice if you could view the content directly on Reel Good - not that they would host the content, but if your linked account could be accessed as a sort of pop-up media player in the Reel Good site. Again, it may be too lofty a dream, just brainstorming here. That being said, previews and trailers would certainly be a nice touch.
Conclusion
Reel Good is a great streaming site search engine that makes life easier for those with several streaming services. Try it out today!
