What's Playing

Every feature, in focus.

From your personal watchlist to cinema alerts and iCloud sync: everything Marquee can do, laid out like a programme.

01 - Watchlist

Your movies, always at hand

A configurable poster grid across three tabs: Released, Coming Soon, and Watched. Long-press any card for quick actions: mark watched, hide, delete, or save the poster. A dice button picks a random film when you can't decide.

Search the full TMDB database. Record who recommended it and how: person, podcast, newsletter, social, or other. Never forget a recommendation again.

03 - Movie Detail

Full picture, every time

Poster, ratings (IMDb + TMDB), runtime, genres, synopsis, streaming providers, personal notes, recommendation history, and deep-link review buttons, all in one scroll.

15 - Personal Rating

Liked, meh, or didn't land

After marking a movie watched, rate it in one tap: Liked, Meh, or Disliked. No stars, no scores. Just your honest take, stored privately on your device and synced via iCloud.

06 - Now in Cinemas

What's showing near you

Discover what's currently playing in your selected country. Tap any film to open a full detail view and add it to your watchlist or mark it as watched.

04 - Cinema Alerts

Never miss an opening night

Get a local notification when a watchlisted movie hits cinemas in your country. Choose your lead time: 1 day, 3 days, 1 week, or 2 weeks out.

Buzz Score

Know what's generating heat

Coming Soon films show a live buzz signal (High Buzz or Rising) derived from TMDB popularity and Trakt activity. No badge means the signal is low.

Cinema Verdict

Cinema or stream it?

A quick verdict derived from RT, Metacritic, and genre: See It in Cinemas, Worth Seeing, or Stream It. Only shown when critic data is available. No guesswork.

Spoiler Protection

Stay unspoiled

Enable Spoiler Protection to hide the synopsis and ratings for any unwatched film. Tap once to reveal it within the session. It closes again on the next visit.

Rate Reminder

Rate it while it's fresh

A nudge arrives 24 hours after you mark a film watched, but only if you haven't rated it yet. Tap the notification to jump straight to the rating. Toggle it off in Settings.

Streaming Window

Know when it hits streaming

Confirmed digital release dates appear in movie detail. Within 30 days, a gold countdown shows exactly how many days to wait. Falls back to a 45-day estimate from theatrical release.

Content Warnings

What to expect going in

Content certification (PG-13, 15, R, etc.) is shown right in the title block. Tap the Parental Guide button for full content detail, sourced directly from IMDb.

Digital Release Alert

Know the moment it's streamable

Opt in to get a notification at noon on the confirmed digital release date: "Now available to rent or buy." Turn it on in Settings → Notifications → Digital Release Alerts.

05 - Recommended By

Credit where it's due

Store who recommended each film and how: person, social, podcast, newsletter, or other. Shown on the movie card and searchable from the watchlist. Every recommendation has a source.

08 - Review Links
