Shared watchlists
A shared watchlist for movie night, couples and friends.
One list that everyone you invite can add to. Every row shows who added it — and, if you switch it on, who has already seen it — so choosing what to watch together starts from the same list.

How a shared watchlist works
- 1
In your Library, tap New watchlist and give it a name and an emoji.
- 2
On the list’s screen, invite people with a link or a short code — straight into WhatsApp, or anywhere else you can paste it.
- 3
Everyone on the list adds titles from any film or show’s Save to… sheet. Each row shows who added it.
- 4
Switch on who-has-seen-it, and each row also shows who has already watched it — so nobody sits through a rewatch they did not ask for.
What people use one for
- Movie night: everyone adds a few picks through the week, and you choose from one list.
- A couple’s list of shows to start together.
- A club — an October horror list, a Best Picture marathon — that everyone fills in.
Private, shared or public
You choose, list by list, who can see each watchlist.
| Kind | Who sees it |
|---|---|
| Just yours | Nobody else can see it |
| Shared | Everyone you invite can see it and add to it |
| Public | Anyone on Trovie can open it, like it and save it to their own Library |
And it is a full tracker
The list is the start. Trovie tracks every episode and film you watch, lines up what is next in Up Next, counts your watch time and keeps a conversation on every title — so once you have picked, the rest of the night is in the same app. Everything Trovie does.
Questions
Can two people add to the same watchlist?
Yes. A shared watchlist is one list that everyone you invite can add to, and each row shows who added it.
Do the people I invite need Trovie?
Yes. Everyone on a shared list signs in to Trovie with Google. Trovie is on Android, and the invite link opens in any browser.
How do I stop an invite link from working?
Get a new code for the list. The old link and code stop working on the spot.
Is it free?
Yes, shared watchlists are free. Trovie Pro makes watchlists bigger — more lists, more people, more titles. Where the optional Trovie Pro upgrade is offered, the app shows what it includes and what it costs before you pay.
