FilmScout: Movie Companion
Movie scene guide for parents
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
Know what's coming before your kids do. FilmScout maps every movie scene by scene and taps your iPhone or Apple Watch before the moments you'd handle your way.
FilmScout tells you what's in a movie before your family presses play, and warns you about 30 seconds before a flagged scene arrives. Know what's coming. Watch on purpose.
Every movie in the catalog gets a ScoutScore, a single number for how much parental guidance to expect, from Tame to Strong. Higher means more to weigh. The score re-tunes to your family's values, so what matters in your home shapes every rating.
KNOW BEFORE YOU WATCH
Tap any movie to see its full breakdown: violence, language, sexual content, substance use, scary moments, and more. Every flagged scene is timed, categorized, and described in plain language, so you can see it coming.
SCOUT COMPANION
Start a movie and let the Companion follow along in real time. It gives you a heads up before a flagged scene arrives, so you can skip it, pause, or start a conversation. Flags come in three strengths, Heads Up, Caution and Skip, with your own triggers in purple. You stay in control of the moment instead of reacting to it.
ON YOUR WRIST
With the Apple Watch app, the Companion's countdown sits on your wrist and taps you when a flagged scene arrives. Scroll the flagged scenes or step through them on a timeline without picking up your phone.
PERSONALIZED FOR YOUR FAMILY
Set up profiles with your own sensitivity levels for each content category. Add personal triggers and phobias so the scenes that matter most to you are highlighted before they happen. Every ScoutScore re-weights to match, and your profiles carry over between the iPhone app and getfilmscout.com.
AGE RATINGS FOR YOUR COUNTRY
See the official age rating for your region, right on the movie, so you always have the local context.
THE MAGIC BEHIND IT
Watch hand picked behind the scenes videos so kids can see the monster was a puppet and the fight was choreography. It is just a movie, and here is the proof.

- Your family profiles now carry over between the iPhone app and getfilmscout.com.
- New question about revealing outfits, alongside your family's other values settings.
