There is a new, horrific, loathsome, and devastating problem afflicting living rooms across America.  Yes, I’m talking about Chronic Movie Browsing Dysfunction (CMBD) — the extreme inability to swiftly find anything good to watch on Netflix, Hulu, and other streaming platforms.

• The average American spends 19 minutes per day browsing aimlessly for something to watch according to the Rovi Multi-Region Survey — that’s 9.5 hours lost per month, 115 hours lost per year, and 377 days lost in a lifetime to the horrors of CMBD.
• Americans spend more time each year just searching for entertainment than exercising (106 hours, 8% less), going to class (84 hours, 27% less), and participating in religious activities (51 hours, 56% less) according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

There is apparently a cure for this. It’s called Reelgood. Here’s what it promises:

1. MULTI-PLATFORM BROWSING: No need to surf Netflix, then switch to Hulu, then check out HBO, only to return to Netflix. See what’s available where all at once, then launch straight from Reelgood.
2. WATCH LIST: Keep track of what you and your friends want to see as well as your friends’ recommendations — with Reelgood notifying you when and where movies on your list are available to view.
3. SEEN LIST: Keep track of what you’ve watched, take notes, and engage with the Reelgood community…. connecting with others over the movies you’ve enjoyed.

Reelgood is available now for iOS and AppleTV. It is coming soon for Android.
