WATCHED is one of the leading apps for film enthusiasts because it puts free movie trailers at their fingertips. The app has a clean design with a fun interface that lets you find anything that you want in seconds. You do not need to register your email address to use the app or even set up an account to view hundreds of movie and TV trailers whenever you want. You can even use the app to find out when those movies play at theaters around you.

One thing that users like about WATCHED is that it has category listings across the top of the screen. Use the Top Trending list to view trending trailers and videos of the day. The Top Rated list allows you to view and watch the trailers rated the highest by other users. Another list shows you the most popular videos of the day to help you find content that you might not see on other apps. Once you click on any video, you can learn a little more and watch the full trailer.

Though you don't need an account to use WATCHED, setting one up allows you to do more with the app. You can input your current location and view nearby theaters. If you see a movie trailer and want to watch the full movie, the app shows you which nearby theaters have it and the available showtimes. You can also use the app to get directions to one of those locations. It does similar things for television show trailers. When you click on a trailer and watch it, you can then see what channels or stations have the show and when you can watch it.

WATCHED is not an app that allows you to watch full movies or television shows. It only provides access to their trailers. Some trailers are not available through the app. When you click on the name, the app will direct you to YouTube or another page to watch it. Many users don't like all of the ads that run in the app either. Those ads play when you open it or search for content and before you can play a video. You will also notice that it constantly asks you to visit the Play store and rate the app. Even if you rate it, you might still get those requests.

Don't let those problems keep you from using WATCHED if you love movies and TV shows. When you search for TV shows, you can view trailers released each season and those that relate to specific episodes. You can catch up on your favorite show after a mid-season break or the start of the new season. Similar searches are available for film buffs. Search for your favorite actor to view a list of all the trailers that feature that actor. Create a list of your favorite film trailers, too. The app lets you share your list with other users and with your online friends. Use the app to view release dates and other information before or after watching a trailer. WATCHED gives film and television buffs easy access to online videos and information about each release featured in the app.
