// FAQ

Common questions

How accurate is WhatWasThat?
Very accurate for popular movies and shows. The more specific your description, the better. Mentioning characters, plot details, or the general era helps a lot.
Can it find old or obscure movies?
Yes — it covers films from all decades and many less-known productions. Try it even for childhood memories or foreign films you half-remember.
Does it work for YouTube videos?
Absolutely. Just describe what you remember about the video — the content, the person, the tone — and it will do its best to identify it.
Can I cancel my Pro subscription?
Yes, at any time. You'll keep Pro access until the end of your billing period, then switch back to the free plan.
Is there an app I can install?
Yes — the web app can be installed on both iOS and Android from your browser (Add to Home Screen). A native Android app is also available on Google Play.
