Sort and filter your queued instant titles

Instantwatcher Premium brings instantwatcher.com's sort, filter, and view mode functions to the titles in your Netflix instant queue.

Declutter your instant Netflix queue with saved titles

Instantwatcher Premium lets you save instant titles into a second, virtual queue of titles, which exists only here on instantwatcher.com, separate from your official Netflix instant titles queue. You can also move titles back and forth between your saved titles and your Netflix instant queue.

Give access to subusers

Instantwatcher Premium lets you set up subusers.

With subusers, you can let other people queue Netflix titles to your Netflix instant queue without giving them full access to your Netflix account.

Restrict the content subusers can queue

After you set up subusers, you can forbid subusers from queueing or saving titles based on MPAA rating.

No ads

Premium service subscribers won't see any ads on the site while logged in.

Your personal data is secure

After you sign up for an Instantwatcher Premium account, you'll be redirected to a Netflix page that asks you to allow instantwatcher.com to access your Netflix account. instantwatcher.com will use this access to retrieve the titles in your Netflix instant queue, to add titles back to that queue, and to remove titles from your queue as directed by you and/or your authorized subusers. instantwatcher.com will not retrieve any other data from your Netflix account without your consent. instantwatcher.com won't download your rental history.

There's no way for instantwatcher.com to access your Netflix password or credit card information. instantwatcher.com uses the secure and Netflix-approved OAuth protocol to link to your Netflix account. For more information about this mechanism, click here.

Why aren't these features free?

These premium features are more computationally expensive and don't scale as easily as the free features of instantwatcher.com. (The technical explanation: Because the data is personalized, it can't be cached to optimize application performance like the free content on instantwatcher.com.) Offering these services for a fee conserves server resources, buys extra computing power, and reserves access to users who value these features most.

The subscription fee also subsidizes the development of more premium features down the road.

Pricing and free trial

You can use Instantwatcher Premium features for a year for $9.95 (via PayPal).
