What Limelight does on iPhone
SceneSnap
AI scene recognition
See a clip and cannot place it? Upload a short video and SceneSnap names the movie or show and who is on screen, then opens the title so you can save it. Part of Limelight+.
QuickSort
Sort years of watching in a few minutes
Swipe right for what you have seen, left for what you have not, and undo when you change your mind. Every swipe sharpens what Just For You puts in front of you. Part of Limelight+.
Discover
Trending, trailers, and Top 10s in one scroll
Home puts your Just For You picks, the latest trailers, and the Netflix, Prime Video, and Apple TV Top 10 charts for your country on one screen, so deciding takes a minute. Top 10s are part of Limelight+.
Watchlist
One list for everything you want to watch
Save anything you come across, mark what you have seen, and rate it. Your watchlist, seen list, and custom lists sync to iPad and Mac, so the list reads the same wherever you open it.
Read It First
Find the films that started as books
Home carries a row of adaptations worth reading before you watch, and any title page links straight to the novel behind it when there is one, so you can start with the book.
