Powered by JustWatch via TMDb, supercharged by your Squad
Knowing a movie is streaming on Stan or SBS On Demand is only half the puzzle; the other half is knowing whether it is worth two hours of your Friday night and whether your partner has already seen it. Putting Australian streaming badges directly on top of your Squad’s craft ratings solves both in one glance.
Because moviemates.social is built in Melbourne for people who watch films with their mates, every tool in the app is wired to turn solo browsing into a shared experience with zero ads and zero subscription paywalls.
New to Streaming tailored to your Australian subscriptions
The New to Streaming feed on moviemates.social groups fresh Australian arrivals by platform and highlights the services you already pay for.
Once the credits roll, slide the relevant crafts out of 100, compare your Squad Rating Average (S.R.A), and export a one-tap Share Card for your story or group chat.
