Best movie tracker apps in 2026

A movie tracker keeps your watch history, ratings and watchlist in one place. We compared the most-used Android movie trackers — each with a clear category, so you can pick what fits how you watch.

How we picked

We focused on apps that are actively maintained in 2026, have a working Android app, and are commonly recommended for tracking films. Each entry names what the app is best at — not "best overall", because no single app fits every viewer.

The apps

Letterboxd

Best for film community & reviews

A social platform for film lovers. Strong for reviews, ranked lists and a thoughtful community. Less suited if you also follow TV shows or games.

Strong points

  • Largest film-focused community
  • Polished UI for reviews and lists
  • iOS and Android apps

Limits

  • Films only — no TV, no games
  • Streaming availability is light

Trakt

Best for cross-platform sync

A long-running tracker for movies and TV. Strong sync between web, mobile and third-party clients. Power-user oriented; the official Android app is functional but plain, and third-party clients like Showly are popular.

Strong points

  • Movies and TV in one tracker
  • Open API and third-party clients
  • Reliable cross-device sync

Limits

  • Some advanced features behind VIP
  • No game tracking

IMDb

Best as a ratings reference

The most-known ratings database, with a basic personal watchlist. Useful as a reference for ratings and cast info, less so as a primary tracker.

Strong points

  • Huge title and cast database
  • Familiar to almost everyone

Limits

  • Tracker features are basic
  • UI is busy with editorial content

JustWatch

Best for streaming availability

A streaming-availability tool with a watchlist. Tells you where to stream a title in your region. Not a full tracker — no episode progress or diary — but a strong companion app.

Strong points

  • Best-in-class streaming availability data
  • Clean, focused UI

Limits

  • Limited tracking depth
  • No multi-source ratings, no games

Moviebase

Best Android-native film & TV tracker

A polished Material Design tracker built on TMDB. Lean and focused; covers movies and TV but no games or detailed price tracking.

Strong points

  • Modern Android UI with dark mode
  • Lightweight and fast

Limits

  • Movies and TV only
  • Smaller user base than Letterboxd/Trakt

WatchNPlay

Best for all-in-one entertainment tracking

Tracks movies, TV shows and games together in one Android app. Multi-source ratings from IMDb, TMDB, Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes, streaming availability per region, episode tracking and game price alerts. Built for people whose backlog spans more than one medium.

Strong points

  • Movies, TV and games in one library
  • Streaming availability and price alerts
  • Multi-source ratings in one view

Limits

  • Android only — iOS not yet available
  • No automatic import from Letterboxd/Trakt yet

Why all-in-one matters

Most apps focus on one category. WatchNPlay is useful if your backlog includes more than just movies or more than just TV shows. It brings movies, shows and games into one Android app — so you don't juggle three apps to know what's next.
