Use the exact title first

If you are new here, start from the Cinema HQ Android app homepage, then follow this guide. Search with the title official name first, spelled correctly. Cinema HQ search covers movies, shows, anime and actors at once, so an exact title lands you on the right page immediately. If the exact title fails, try a shorter version: drop subtitles and punctuation before trying a different spelling.

Filter before you scroll

After a search, filter by genre, year or rating instead of scrolling the whole result list. Filters turn a hundred results into a shortlist, and a shortlist is how you pick something before the evening is over. Save the winner to your watchlist so you never search for it twice. The paid or free choice guide covers the next step in detail.

Search actors when titles fail

When you cannot remember a title, search for an actor in it. Actor pages list their titles, and browsing them often finds the film you meant. This works best for well known actors with distinctive filmographies. For a related setup, see PC emulator setup.
