Zombieland is scheduled to leave Netflix at the end of the month. So is one of the Ocean’s Eleven movies, a few Marvel titles, and half a dozen indie films most people forgot were still there. Streaming libraries rotate every few weeks, and the platform’s own “leaving soon” list is buried three menus deep in each app. If you like watching things before they disappear, you need one app whose job is to tell you what is about to go.
That is what the apps on this list do. Some of them also track what you have watched, what you plan to watch, and where the film you added to your watchlist last month is now streaming. Here are the best apps for tracking streaming availability on Android in 2026.
What to look for in a streaming availability tracker
Start with region accuracy. The same movie leaves Netflix on different dates in the US, UK, Brazil, and Japan. A tracker that only reports the US date is useless everywhere else. Test the app against a title you know is region-locked before you trust its alerts.
Look at how the app handles a watchlist. The point is to add a title once and get pinged when it changes: arriving on a new service, leaving a service, dropping in rental price, coming to a service you already pay for. If the app makes you re-enter watchlist items or forgets the region, keep shopping.
Watch the ad load and account requirement. Some availability apps make the free tier borderline unusable to push a subscription. Also, look at cross-platform sync: if you switch from Android to a browser mid-day, the watchlist should follow.
Finally, look at coverage across the region you care about. JustWatch and Reelgood are the widest globally; TV Time and Trakt are strongest for TV completionists; regional trackers can be more accurate for specific countries.

1. JustWatch
JustWatch is the app that started tracking global streaming rights properly and still leads on regional accuracy. Add a title to your watchlist and JustWatch tells you which service currently streams it in your country, plus rental and purchase options. New timeline features flag when a title is about to leave a service so you can watch or save it before the calendar catches up.
Where it falls short: the “leaving soon” data is only as fresh as the platforms’ own feeds. A few titles slip through with the wrong date, especially outside the US and EU.
Pricing: Free.
Platforms: Android, iOS, web.
Download: Aptoide · Google Play
Bottom line: the default install for anyone in a non-US market.
2. Reelgood
Reelgood is JustWatch’s closest US competitor. It cross-lists titles across every service you subscribe to, hides content you cannot watch, and pushes availability alerts. The watchlist is tidy and the recommendations lean on your actual subscriptions rather than pushing services you would need to add.
Where it falls short: coverage weakens outside the US and the UK.
Pricing: Free with a Premium tier around $6.99 a month for ad-free browsing and expanded filters.
Platforms: Android, iOS, web.
Download: Aptoide · Google Play
Bottom line: the US-strongest availability tracker.
3. TV Time
TV Time is the app for the reader who watches TV shows as they air rather than binging months later. It tracks episodes down to the second, notifies you when a new one drops on your services, and shows a curated newsfeed of your shows. Its movie tracking is a lighter feature by comparison.
Where it falls short: the ad-supported tier can push its VIP upsell aggressively.
Pricing: Free with ads. VIP around $2.99/mo removes ads.
Platforms: Android, iOS.
Download: Aptoide · Google Play
Bottom line: the strongest TV episode tracker, secondary movie tracker.
4. Trakt
Trakt is the tracker with the strongest API story. If you run Plex, Jellyfin, Kodi, or Home Assistant, Trakt is likely already integrated with your media stack: watch history is scrobbled from your home server, watchlist items sync into JustWatch or Reelgood via community plugins, and stats show up on any dashboard.
Where it falls short: the mobile app is functional rather than beautiful. Power users use Trakt as the data layer and something else as the front end.
Pricing: Free tier. VIP around $2.99/mo removes limits.
Platforms: Android, iOS, web.
Download: Aptoide · Google Play
Bottom line: the tracker for home-server users.
5. Simkl
Simkl covers TV, movies, and anime under one watchlist and is popular with viewers who split their evening between Crunchyroll and Netflix. Sync is fast, notifications are accurate, and it integrates with Plex and Jellyfin similarly to Trakt.
Where it falls short: the free tier limits some watchlist features; the paid VIP tier isn’t expensive but is a subscription.
Pricing: Free tier. Paid VIP tier for expanded features.
Platforms: Android, iOS, web.
Download: Aptoide · Google Play
Bottom line: the pick if anime shares the watchlist with movies and TV.
6. Letterboxd
Letterboxd is not primarily an availability tracker, but its Pro tier now shows where films are streaming in your region and lets you flag films to your watchlist for the day they arrive on a service you pay for. The point of Letterboxd is the film community: reviews, lists, and diaries.
Where it falls short: streaming data is best-effort, not exhaustive. Use JustWatch as the primary and Letterboxd for the community.
Pricing: Free tier. Pro around $3.99/mo, Patron around $6.99/mo, both add stats and no ads.
Platforms: Android, iOS, web.
Download: Aptoide · Google Play
Bottom line: the film-community app that added enough availability to feel useful.
7. IMDb
IMDb on Android has a Watchlist that syncs across every device signed into your Amazon account and now shows a “Where to Watch” pill for each title in most regions. It is the fallback for people who don’t want a new account: IMDb’s Watchlist is the one most existing users already have.
Where it falls short: the app has grown busy over the years with ads, trailers, and news feeds. The tracking core still works but is not the app’s focus anymore.
Pricing: Free with ads.
Platforms: Android, iOS, web.
Download: Aptoide · Google Play
Bottom line: the fallback if you don’t want to sign up for another service.
8. Movie Notify
Movie Notify is a small focused app whose whole reason for existing is “tell me when a movie or show leaves a service”. You add titles, pick a region, and it pushes a notification a few days before the calendar. That is it.
Where it falls short: the catalog is not as complete as JustWatch’s, and the design is spartan. It is exactly the utility it sounds like.
Pricing: Free.
Platforms: Android.
Download: Aptoide · Google Play
Bottom line: the one-job app for last-chance alerts.
How to pick
Install JustWatch as the region-accurate default. If you are in the US and want a slicker experience, Reelgood is worth trying alongside. Add TV Time or Trakt if TV episode tracking is where your watchlist actually lives. Simkl covers the anime case cleanly. Letterboxd adds the film-community layer. Movie Notify is the focused backup that just sends leaving-soon alerts. IMDb is the fallback if you already live inside the Amazon ecosystem.
FAQ
What is the best app for tracking when movies leave Netflix?
JustWatch is the widest globally. Reelgood is a strong US-focused alternative. Movie Notify is a focused single-purpose app if you only want the leaving-soon alert without the rest of the ecosystem.
Can I sync my watchlist across streaming services?
Yes. JustWatch, Reelgood, Trakt, and Simkl all keep a service-agnostic watchlist and tell you which service currently streams a title. They do not sync into individual service watchlists (Netflix’s own list, for instance) but they sit alongside them.
How accurate are streaming leaving-soon dates?
They are accurate a few days to a couple of weeks out. Feeds occasionally miss a change, especially in smaller regions. If a title matters, watching it a week before the flagged leave date is the safe move.
Which streaming tracker works with Plex or Jellyfin?
Trakt is the most-integrated with home servers. Simkl also has Plex and Jellyfin integrations. Both scrobble watch history from the server so the tracker shows what you watched even when you didn’t open the tracker app.
Do I need to pay for a streaming tracker?
No. JustWatch is fully free. TV Time, Trakt, Simkl, Letterboxd, and IMDb all have functional free tiers. Movie Notify is free with no upsell.
