The fantastic design allows users to move around from one media type to another with the click of a button. What’s more, the platform is updated with new titles on a weekly basis, so there’s always something new to discover.

This excellent all-in-one service is available for both iOS and Android mobile devices, as well as Windows and Mac computers.
