Memento is leaving HBO Max in June. The catalog churn at every major streamer has hit the point where titles you queued months ago vanish before you press play. The right Android app spots the expiration window early, tells you where the show or film moves next, and tracks what you have actually finished. These are the best Android apps for tracking streaming content in 2026, picked from the ones that keep the catalog churn from costing you another rewatch.
We focused on apps that handle movies and TV across multiple services, push notifications for expirations or new arrivals, and either work for free or have generous free tiers. The list mixes pure trackers, where-to-watch indexes, and one social platform that doubles as a film log.
What to look for in a streaming tracker
Five things matter more than the rest.
- Cross-service coverage. A tracker that only shows Netflix is barely a tracker. The big three (Netflix, Disney Plus, HBO Max) plus the long tail (Apple TV Plus, Paramount, Peacock, Hulu, regional services) should all be in scope.
- Expiration alerts. Notifications when something on your watchlist is about to leave a service give you time to actually watch it.
- Where-to-watch lookup. When a title leaves one service it often lands on another. The tracker should show the new home automatically.
- Honest pricing data. Some titles are “available” on a service via paid rental. The app should distinguish included content from add-on rentals.
- Watchlist sync. Your watchlist should follow you across devices and survive an app reinstall.

The apps
1. JustWatch — best for where-to-watch search
JustWatch indexes every major streaming service in 60-plus countries. Search any title, see where it streams in your country, and tap straight into the right app. The Android client adds a watchlist that alerts you when a saved title becomes available or moves between services.
Where it falls short: Free tier shows ads. The watchlist alerts cover new availability and moves; explicit “leaving service” notifications are less consistent than Reelgood’s.
Pricing: Free, ad-supported.
Platforms: Android, iOS, Web, Smart TV.
Download: Aptoide · Google Play
Bottom line: Install this for the lookup speed. Even if you use another tracker as your main, JustWatch is the fastest “where is this streaming now” answer.
2. Reelgood — best for discovery and active watchlist management
Reelgood combines a where-to-watch index with smarter watchlist features. Get notified when a title is about to expire, see new releases ranked by service, and filter by what you can stream on what you already pay for.
Where it falls short: Strongest in the US; smaller markets lag behind JustWatch. Some advanced filters need the paid Premium tier.
Pricing: Free with banner ads. Premium subscription removes ads and unlocks advanced filters.
Platforms: Android, iOS, Web, Smart TV, browser extension.
Download: Aptoide · Google Play
Bottom line: Best pick when you want one app to manage discovery, watchlist, and expirations.
3. TV Time — best for episode-by-episode tracking
TV Time is the most disciplined TV-series tracker. Mark episodes as watched, the app shows what is next, calculates how many hours of season you have left, and pushes release-day notifications.
Where it falls short: Movie tracking exists but is secondary. The social features are heavier than some users want.
Pricing: Free, ad-supported.
Platforms: Android, iOS, Web.
Download: Aptoide · Google Play
Bottom line: Best on Android if your shape is “I watch a lot of TV shows and I keep losing track of where I am.”
4. Hobi — best polished UI for TV tracking
Hobi uses Trakt as its data source but wraps it in the cleanest Android tracker UI on the market. Calendar, episode tracking, and library stats are all designed for phone use. Plug in your Trakt account and Hobi inherits the data.
Where it falls short: Requires a Trakt account. The free tier limits some features; the combined cost with Trakt VIP can add up.
Pricing: Free with limits. Premium is a monthly or annual subscription.
Platforms: Android, iOS.
Download: Aptoide · Google Play
Bottom line: Pair with Trakt for the back end and Hobi for the day-to-day. The free tier is enough for most viewers.
5. Trakt — best universal tracker
Trakt is the engine many other tracker apps run on. Use the official app or Hobi as the front-end. Trakt logs every episode, every film, and integrates with Plex, Kodi, Jellyfin, Infuse, and Stremio for automatic scrobbling.
Where it falls short: Official Android app interface is less polished than Hobi’s. Expiration alerts are not first-class; you mostly get them through linked tools.
Pricing: Free with limits. Trakt VIP is a monthly or annual subscription.
Platforms: Android, iOS, Web, plus many third-party integrations.
Download: Aptoide · Google Play
Bottom line: Best back end for serious trackers. If you also self-host, Plex or Jellyfin scrobbling fills the log automatically.
6. Letterboxd — best for film logging and reviews
Letterboxd is film-only and unapologetic about it. Log films, rate them, write reviews, follow other users, and build lists. The Android app is fast, the community is genuinely good, and the data export is open.
Where it falls short: Movies only. No TV. No streaming availability alerts; you find a film, then check JustWatch separately.
Pricing: Free. Letterboxd Pro and Patron tiers add stats and remove banners.
Platforms: Android, iOS, Web.
Download: Google Play
Bottom line: Use Letterboxd as the film log. Combine with JustWatch for where-to-watch lookups.
How to pick the right ones
Two apps usually suffice. Start with JustWatch for fast where-to-watch lookups. Add Reelgood for active watchlist management plus expiration alerts. That pair covers discovery, watchlist, and the “leaving in two weeks” case.
If TV shows dominate your watching, swap Reelgood for TV Time or Hobi. TV Time is the friendlier choice. Hobi is better if you already have a Trakt account.
If you watch a lot of films and you care about logging history, add Letterboxd. The catalog, ratings, and reviews are excellent and the export is open if you ever want to leave.
For self-hosters running Plex or Jellyfin, Trakt plus the matching scrobbler turns every watch session into a tracked event. Pair with Hobi for the read-side experience.
You probably do not need all six. JustWatch plus one tracker (Reelgood, TV Time, or Letterboxd) covers most viewing patterns.
FAQ
How do I get notified when a show is leaving a streaming service?
Reelgood pushes expiration alerts for titles on your watchlist. JustWatch sends availability alerts (when something becomes available or moves) which catches most cases. Set up both as a belt-and-braces approach.
What is the best free app to find where a movie is streaming?
JustWatch. The search is fast, ad-supported, and works without an account.
Does Reelgood track all streaming services?
The big US services and most major international ones. Coverage in smaller markets is improving each year but still lags JustWatch.
Is Letterboxd good for tracking TV shows too?
No. Letterboxd is film-only by design. For TV, use TV Time, Trakt, or Hobi.
Can I sync my watchlist between JustWatch and Reelgood?
Not directly. Both keep watchlists in their own systems. Most users pick one as the source of truth and use the other for lookups only.
Why are so many titles leaving HBO Max and Netflix in 2026?
Licensing deals expire on fixed schedules, and the major streamers have been culling titles to control costs and tax exposure. A tracker that catches expiration windows gives you a chance to watch before the title moves on or disappears entirely.
