Common questions

How does it pick?

Choose a mood and how much time you have, then tap Pick. It looks only at movies on your services, skips anything either of you ruled out or has seen, and favors the movie you’ll both like most. Your answers to “Did you watch it?” the next morning teach it your taste.

Which services and countries?

Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu, HBO Max, Disney+, and Apple TV, in the United States. Rentals and purchases are off unless you turn them on in Settings.

The movie isn’t on our service

Streaming listings come from JustWatch through The Movie Database and change often, so now and then one is out of date. Use tonight’s veto to get another pick, and email us the movie and service so we can check.

How do I invite my partner?

Go to Settings → Invite your partner and send them the link, or have them tap I have a code. You can use the app on your own until they join. iPhone and Android work together.

What’s the veto?

Each night, the partner who didn’t pick gets one veto to ask for a different movie. It resets at 4 a.m. “We’ve seen it” swaps a movie without using the veto.

Group nights

Open the Group tab, choose your time, and share the link or QR code. Friends join in their browser with just a nickname, with no app or account, and vote on three options.

I’m not getting “Did you watch it?”

Turn on notifications for Pass the Remote in your phone’s settings. If they’re off, the question shows up in the app the next time you open it.
