BBC iPlayer for the stuff worth watching. ITVX for the soap operas nobody admits to. Channel 4 for the documentaries that make you feel guilty. Netflix for American things. Prime Video because it came with the delivery. Maybe Paramount+.
That's a lot of apps open at once. And every Sunday night, you and your household open all of them, scroll through all of them, disagree on all of them, and end up watching something you've both already seen. MatchWatch fixes this.
This week in the UK

Create or sign in to your account, then share an invite link or code. A group can hold up to six people.
Everyone swipes on the same deck of movies and shows, but independently, on your own phone. No peeking, no influencing, no compromise.
When your group swipes right on the same title, the app tells you instantly. It shows you where to stream it. You press play.
MatchWatch uses the UK services in your profile, from BBC iPlayer, ITVX and Channel 4 to the subscriptions already taking turns on the bank statement. That local mix keeps the deck useful without pretending everyone has the same apps.
