ReelRecs Users Choose What to Watch About 3 Times Faster Than Nielsen's 2023 Benchmark
Personal picks and where-to-watch links help viewers get more of their evening back.
WILMINGTON, Del., Oct. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ReelRecs, the free movie and TV recommendation app, today reported an average of 3 minutes 24 seconds from opening the app to choosing a streaming-service link, among visits that reached that step. That is about three times faster than the 10.5 minutes viewers spent deciding what to watch in Nielsen's separate 2023 State of Play survey benchmark.
The finding speaks to a familiar frustration: spending the evening browsing instead of watching. Nielsen also found that one in five viewers abandoned a viewing session when they could not find something compelling.
ReelRecs gives viewers a personal shortlist before they open a streaming service. Movies and shows they have rated shape the suggestions. A personal Rec Score and a short explanation show why a title could fit, while service filters help viewers find choices on their subscriptions.
The result is a place to answer both questions that hold up movie night: what would I enjoy, and where can I watch it? A promising title has its viewing options close at hand, so the next step can be opening the service instead of starting another search.
The analysis covers real-user visits over the 45 days through October 26, 2026, excluding internal and test accounts. New-user visits are included. The comparison uses separate app measurements and survey populations; a streaming-service link tap records a move toward watching and does not confirm playback. See the timing methods.
Viewers can find their next personal pick with ReelRecs, available free on iPhone and Android. Create an account and rate familiar movies and shows to give the recommendations a starting point. Choose the services you use, then explore picks made for your taste.
