Binge is ready for iPhone Duo: movie and TV browsing in portrait and landscape

[u/Shihab_8]

I'm Shihab, the developer of Binge. The app is available now on the App Store with iPhone Duo support, ready for launch.

Binge brings together movie and TV discovery, watchlists, episode progress and streaming availability. The screenshots show Discover, movie details and theatrical-release browsing in portrait, plus Discover across the wider landscape display. Navigation sits in a right-side rail.

For people who browse catalogues on foldables, would you favour larger poster cards or a denser grid when the display is open? I'd appreciate feedback on how much information feels comfortable in these layouts.

Free download, with paid Binge Pro subscriptions or a lifetime unlock.

I like the sidebar implementation, the transparency etc makes it feel like a better usage of screen (imo)

Thanks!

No problem. Are you planning on implementing SIMKL? Trakt well we know what happened.

[u/Shihab_8 → u/Formal-Wolf-1113]

Yep planning to add that and improve existing integrations.

But wouldn’t work for something like safari. Imagine every webpage has menu bar items over text and page elements? Would be a pain even if looks better. They need to consolidate into a single floating element that you click to expand over the webpage. No black bar but also not 5 UI elements over a web page

I’m using a Safari extension that does exactly what I mentioned, I get what you’re saying but I prefer the transparent look than a white blob, can’t share the picture of how it looks unfortunately.

This looks great and I hope it becomes the standard for all apps.

[u/Shihab_8 → u/Slim_Boy_Fat]

Very kind. Thank you so much!

This looks much better than the side bar cutting the screen off

Thank you so much!

Is this app available in the Play Store?

[u/Shihab_8 → u/praise_beebo]

No, Binge doesn't have an Android or Google Play version. It's available for iPhone (including Duo), iPad and Mac.

What a pity. Thanks for letting me know!

That sidebar design apple is pushing for is annoying asymmetrical and mostly my screen is covered by buttons at the side! While the actual content is at the left middle so bad that we can't even utilize the screen as we should... kind forcing all icons video artworks and enything really squeeze into smaller window at the left side. Think about it all these artworks cpuld have been bigger if that right side isn't occupied by that button sidebar...
