Squawkr is a new app that alerts you when a pirated movie has released online.
The app is focused on highlighting only high-quality rips and allows users to specify exactly which quality they are after.
“I wanted to make Squawkr simple and easy to use, while being a powerful tool. It’s very intuitive. Just log in, start adding movies and get notified. That’s it,” said developer Jacob speaking to TorrentFreak.
“Torrent sites are flooded with Cam rips and WEB-DLs, which is fine for people who like to watch those. But for someone who enjoys true HD movies, it can be a bit of a pain to go through all the crap, just to find the needle in the haystack.”
It’s a pretty ingenious tool, but also one that is also one that is on a slippery legal slope.
However there should be no real problems, according to Jacob.
“He consulted a lawyer before going live with the service, who advised him to be cautious,” reports TorrentFreak.
“As there are no links to any pirated files on the site, no real problems are expected in his home country of Denmark.”
It’s not an app, it’s a website: squawkr dot io
