This month's Tech Corner
features the app Reelgood.

Reelgood is a free streaming guide that offers 300+ TV and movies available online that can be viewed on the computer, mobile devices, and streamed straight to a Roku device. Once you make an account, you can browse through TV series and movies by title, release year, genre, and IMDB rating to see what to watch.

The app also lets you link your streaming platforms to keep track of upcoming new series to watch on them as well. After selecting what to watch the app will let you see how you can stream it.

What's nice about the app is the free service option in case you don't have paid subscriptions to Netflix or Hulu. By choosing the free option, Reelgood will bring up everything that you can watch instantly, and if you're having a hard time choosing what to watch there is also a roulette option where the app will choose content for you.

This is the perfect device to use for a movie night, and if you haven't heard about it, I would definitely give it a shot. Visit
http://www.reelgood.com to start viewing!
