Brent Lang Executive Editor of Film and MediaIt’s a common problem. A friend or colleague recommends a TV show to binge or a movie to stream but can’t remember if it’s on Netflix or Amazon or one of those other services with a plus sign affixed to it.But a new search and discovery app aims to make sense of all the confusion wrought by the streaming wars, by helping users get recommendations from their network of friends, family, even brands or influencers.
And, more importantly, connecting users with the streaming services where those shows and movies are currently available.It’s called QEWD, and it’s currently in Beta mode and available to the general public on Apple’s App Store and Google Play.
The service is the brainchild of Zak Kadison, the former VP of production for Fox Atomic and founder of Blacklight Transmedia, as well as a film producer. “There’s a lot of market research from a variety of places that show that streaming consumers are frustrated because it’s very hard to find something good to see and you have to hop in and out of multiple apps to find out what’s on,” says Kadison.What QEWD does is streamline the process by allowing users to access all of the services they subscribe to, as well as platforms such as YouTube and TikTok in one central location.
It also allows you to curate recommendations from other users on the service and then helps you seamlessly find out where that programming can be accessed.
