For the evening when nothing fits

The actual reason Nexview exists. Plenty of tools can request — but the question before that usually goes unanswered: what are we watching? This page shows how Nexview answers it.

For you

Recommendations that belong to you

The home page is not a general catalogue but your view. What you heart — titles as well as people — decides what gets suggested there.

On top of that come curated sections: what is running now, what fits your favourites, what you do not know yet. Two accounts in the same installation see different home pages — that is the difference from a plain request list.

Films and shows have separate areas. Anybody looking for a show does not want to page through films.

Row by row. Each has a reason for being there — and it is written above it.
The title

Everything the decision needs

The detail page carries what you need to decide: the ratings from IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic right on the title — without opening three sites.

Plus the trailer in a window, the cast with photos (clickable, leading to their filmography), the studios involved, runtime, age rating, budget and box office.

And one point that helps more often than expected: where the title is streaming right now — split into subscription, free, rent and buy, for your region. Sometimes the best request is the one you do not make. The data comes via JustWatch.

Three ratings, one glance. Below that cast, studios, runtime — and where it is currently playing.
People

Searching for people, not titles

Sometimes you are not after a film but a person. The people section covers acting, directing and writing — with a photo, and behind it the full filmography including the work behind the camera.

People can be hearted too. After that, the best films and shows of your favourite people mix into your recommendations — alongside the ones coming from your favourite titles.

People are favourites too. Whoever you heart turns up in your recommendations.
Bilingual

Right down to the film titles

German and English — and not merely the interface. Titles, descriptions and keywords arrive in the chosen language too, because they are fetched from TMDB in that language.

The language belongs to the account, not the device. In the same installation one person can see everything in German and the next in English.

The same goes for the region: it decides which streaming providers are shown and which release dates apply.

Nexview uses TMDB as its data source but is not from TMDB and is not endorsed or certified by TMDB. The screenshots come from a test installation; the accounts and requests shown in them are made up.
