Beyond the Binge: 9+ Apps to Turn Your iPhone Into the Ultimate Cinephile Companion

If you love movies, your iPhone can do a lot more than just stream Netflix. It can also help you figure out what to watch, where to watch it, what critics thought, what your friends are watching, and whether that random movie you heard about is actually worth your time. With the right apps, your iPhone becomes a full movie companion instead of just another screen to binge-watch on.

The best setup usually includes a mix of apps. You’ll want a few streaming services for actually watching movies, which is obvious. But if you’re serious about movies, you might want to try a few platforms that aren’t as popular. 

You’ll also probably need a discovery app to track what’s available, a review app for checking ratings, and something to track what you watch. Once you combine those, it gets much easier to find good movies instead of endlessly scrolling until you give up.

Luckily, we’ve got you covered. Read on for 9 of the best apps that all film lovers need to try on their iPhones.
