Questions, answered.

Yes. MatchWatch is free to use, with no paid tier and no advertising sold by MatchWatch. No subscription or credit card is required.

Everyone in your group swipes privately through a list of titles, choosing like or skip. MatchWatch finds the ones where everyone said yes. No negotiating, no one dominating the remote, just the films and shows you actually agree on.

For NZ viewers, MatchWatch supports these service selections: Netflix, Neon, Disney+, Prime Video, Apple TV, HBO Max, TVNZ+, ThreeNow and Paramount+. Set up the ones your household uses, then the deck can focus on titles available through those providers.

Yes. Open the web version in a modern browser at app.matchwatch.tv. Installing the iPhone, iPad or Android app is optional, and the progressive web app can still be added to your home screen.

A group can include up to six people, whether that's a couple, flatmates or the family movie-night crew. More people just means each match has more votes to satisfy.

Mark a title as watched and MatchWatch keeps it out of the swipe queue for that group. It is a practical filter, not a permanent website account history.

Your individual votes stay private until a group match is produced. The match reveals the title everyone agreed on, not who liked or skipped anything else, so you can vote without the social pressure.

Yes. Local content available on TVNZ+ and ThreeNow is included, so you won't miss NZ drama, comedy, or documentary picks. We try to make sure local stuff doesn't get buried under the international catalogue.

That's actually the most common use case. Two people swiping and getting instant matches is faster and less fraught than the usual back-and-forth on the couch. It works well for two.

Create or sign in to an account with Apple, Google or email before you create or join a group. Then share the invite link or code, and start swiping once everyone's in.

If there are no matches yet, keep swiping. MatchWatch reports full group matches when everyone likes the same title, not partial results.
