This app will let you know when scary scenes are coming up, so you can stop being scared while you watch horror movies.
If you decide to watch a scary movie, a quiet night at home with a blanket and popcorn can turn into a nightmare. Some people love this genre, even if not for the sudden moments of terror or the tension it creates. That's certainly part of the fun, but for those who want to enjoy the story without constant fear, there's a solution called Binge, an iPhone app that alerts you to the most thrilling moments during the film.
According to Digital Trends, the app works simply. Just open it at the start of a movie, and your phone will display alerts on your lock screen before any unexpected scenes. The app also lets you choose the alert level, so it only notifies you about the most exciting scenes.
However, they point out that there are a few details to keep in mind. The Binge app isn't integrated with streaming platforms, so you'll need to manually launch it when starting a movie. Also, if you pause the movie, you'll need to pause the app as well to ensure accurate notifications.
In addition to notifications, the app includes helpful information about films, such as cast, runtime, awards, and ratings. It also features a search function that shows you the platform where the film is streaming. Furthermore, it provides data from IMDb, which is very useful for learning more about the film.
The Binge app is free to download from the App Store, but the feature that alerts you to scary scenes is a paid service. It costs $1.99 per month, $17.99 per year, or $49.99 for a one-time lifetime subscription. It's available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
