I looked for an app like this and a few exist, but all of them fall short of meeting our needs in quality, universality, and ubiquity:
- Quality was lacking on many of them. They looked and felt like a side project from some bored dev in lockdown, probably because they were! But I wanted something polished.
- Universality wasn't there, meaning that it would work with all the big streaming services. All the ones I found were specific to a single service, provided by that service, or only worked with a handful. We watch movies from all over so it needs to support all of them.
- Ubiquity is the big one. What I mean by that is that you can use the sync service on every device. Lots of the streaming services have their own half-assed group watch feature now, but most only work on their website and not in the Apple TV or Roku or WebOS or whatever else app. We all watch our movie differently, so it really needs to be cross platform.
- cvhashim 6y agoI'd like to see an app or web extension that basically screenshares someone's desktop, and comes with chat functionality. High quality screenshare with chat, not sure how legal this is but this would be ideal for movies or live sports (especially in these dire times).
