Fast, clean interface compared to JustWatch
From 3 comments
Man, there are a whole bunch of sites that cover the Netherlands, but they always seem to be out of date or dog slow to the point of timeouts and ad-laden. This is fast and…
frankvdwaal on HNI also thought, "Justwatch clone" but, it's much nicer, even aside from the international info. Justwatch is so cumbersome. Yours is fast and clean. I note that, testing around,…
tqwhite on HNNice! I tested a bit, the UI is clean and better than justwatch. Searched for a couple of movies and they are available. Congrats on the launch and thank you for sharing this…

Objections
Availability data is often inaccurate
From 5 comments
https://whereto.stream/movie/8810?provider=hbo Why does it claim that mad max 2 is streamable on hbo in denmark? Decided to watch the trilogy this weekend and had a laugh that…
Lewton on HNNetflix's Rebel Moon Part 2 not available anywhere? Pretty sure this isn't accurate. https://whereto.stream/movie/934632
vidyesh on HNi guess there are not a lot of public apis provided by streaming providers like netflix which makes your service very unreliable. I am from austria and for rebel moon part 2,…
datguyfromAT on HNI just tested it with The Rookie. Why is the country list not sorted alphabetically? And why does it show for Germany, that I need NordVPN? Are you sponsored? Because it IS…
7bit on HNIt shows a lot of movies available in prime video for Norway which is wrong.

Pushes VPN affiliate links, seen as affiliate farm
From 2 comments
From what I see this looks like an affiliate link farm for NordVPN. Every single movie I tried shows up as being not available in my country with "Stream with NordVPN" slapped…
eps on HNI don't see the point in this, sorry. First of all, it seems to be inaccurate. If you're going to sell people a VPN so that they can watch something, at least make sure that the…

Set home country and filter by country
From 4 comments
Improvement ideas: let the user set their country. If I live in Germany, and I don't want to bother with VPN, knowing that a TV show is available in Argentina and 30 other…
serial_dev on HNThis is really neat. I hope you dont mind some feedback as I’ve used a few web apps like this in the past and have a fair idea of my own needs as a user that you may or may not…
highwaylights on HNI'd appreciate a top-level country filter. It helps reduce noise, and can still allow you to put VPN affiliate links when there are no matches.
andridk on HNFeatures I would like: a country filter and a way to select which streaming services I have access to. And if I search for something show that it is not available with my filters.

Add more streaming services
From 3 comments
Hi, this excludes some of the major streaming services that we have in New Zealand, namely: - Neon - TVNZ+ Could you please add support for these?
Chilko on HNGlad to hear that! We'll look into adding Viki and many other streaming services as a source. Thanks for your feedback.
danilotanic on HNWe're working to improve the platform, and one area of focus will be to support more services.

Nice app! Congrats on launching! I was about to start building something similar but a bit different use case (maybe you can add it to your app?): if the tv show is not available…

Questions
Where does the data come from
From 3 comments
Where do you source the data?
wodenokoto on HNHow do you get you data? Are you using APIs?
bartkappenburg on HNIt says I can stream this in US on Amazon but I sure can't find it anywhere on Prime video... From where is the underlying data coming? https://whereto.stream/movie/14784 EDIT:…

How is this different / better than justwatch?
100721 on HNAt first, I thought you built a justwatch.com clone. But, after a quick inspection I realized you solve a related but different use-case where the user already paid for the…
