TV recommendations application Worth watching launched two new features to give viewers access to more personalized recommendations, including a new category of recommendations for streaming services and a collaborative watchlist to get movie recommendations for your entire group of friends.
Watchworthy is best known for its “worthy” score, which tells you the likelihood that a TV show or movie is worth your time. The app leverages parent company Ranker’s first-party data pool for its personalized recommendations, as well as data collected from its onboarding quiz that asks you to rate different TV shows, from likes and dislikes to interests. and “not interested”. .”

Now, the app is launching a worthy rating for streaming services — which it calls “Worthy Services” — giving you a better idea of which streamer is worth subscribing to based on how closely its content library aligns with your taste in movies and emissions. For example, if you’re obsessed with home improvement shows, Watchworthy recommends Discovery+ as a top pick, listing it as 95-99% worthy.
As major streaming services continue to raise subscription costs, viewers are struggling to decide which subscription is worth investing in. Watchworthy’s new feature can help narrow down the options that are right for you.
Watchworthy helps you discover over 200 streaming services, including Netflix, Max, Disney+ Prime Video, Peacock, Paramount+, Apple TV+, and Hulu, among others.

Watchworthy also launched a “Watch Together” feature, which lets you friend-request other people so the app can then provide “Worthy Group Suggestions” based on everyone’s personal tastes.
The new watch list will likely be a big hit among users, as finding a movie or TV show that speaks to an entire group can be difficult. However, you can add unlimited friends to the list, so we doubt it will be an exact match for that many people.
The app was launched by online publisher Ranker in 2020. The company told TechCrunch that its downloads are “in the healthy six figures.”
