Oh so close to essential
This app is very impressive and exactly what I needed in my life considering the navigation of services stream content. One major feature is lacking, and that is notifications alerting the user if a streaming service has changed for a show or movie on your lists. Notifications would be game changing, considering it’s hard to keep track of shows new season dates, schedule changes, shows leaving one service to another, etc.
Couple this need with the fact that premium features paywall links to services and this app goes from being something I would use every day to a glorified notes app with customization and pretty posters for my content.
This is my first review of any app on the App Store , and it’s because this app has serious potential, it is crisp has a load of customization options, and links for convenience if you are open to supporting the developer, however it can be much much more.

The App I Have Been Searching For!
After many years of searching for an app that allows me to catalogue various aspects of my life (Restaurants, Wine, TV Shows, Books, Experiences – a mix of things) in a visual, satisfying way... I have finally found it in Sofa! It is a near perfect amalgamation of other apps I've tried, and I can finally keep everything in one tidy app that allows me to rate items and use tags to search (ie; I want to search for that one Italian restaurant that I went to years ago in Chicago, or which hotel did I stay at for that one wedding...). I'm so pleased to have finally found Sofa – keep it up, Shawn! Thank you.

Great app. Missing important features.
I was looking for an app where ai could combine all types of media, and this is it! But ai would completely love it if we could get some of the features of the app tv forecast (like when movies and shows are coming out) so I can keep track of them because if I add something to a list I do not know when it’s coming out unless I click on every single item. Also, a progress option would be amazing because I might watch a show but then stop for a while or if I move it to the “logbook” I have to bring it back when a new season starts instead of the app telling me I would have to find out myself.

Confusing
Great idea but a bit confusing to use.
Very delightful
The best way to describe the app is, delightful. Its visual style is clean, unique and playful, while still being in depth. Although I sometimes get confused on certain features, it doesn’t take away from the overall experience of using the app and tracking my activity. Great job. Found this app from your youtube Vision Pro video btw :)

Such a great review! Thanks so much!
Free Vs Paid
I feel that this app is very useful without the subscription and was delighted that the experience wasn’t compromised by my lack of funds. I will be upgrading to an annual subscription as I feel that this is an app that I will continue to use for the foreseeable future. My only issue is that many of the books and plays I have tried to add don’t come up on the search function so I have to create a custom addition quite frequently. I wish there was a larger search library but I don’t know enough about apps to complain and this one has served me well enough to be fine putting in a little work for my own organization.

Update review
Love the new update! It’s awesome you made it more customizable so people can have a choice if they want simple or complex lists.
For me, I like my lists to be a bit of both. What would make it even better is if there was a way to edit the metadata so I don’t always have to create a custom because some of the metadata is missing or there’s no cover showing. This seems to happen mostly for Asian tv dramas so I’m forced to create a custom instead of being able to edit anything after adding it from the search database.
Also, it would be great if tv shows could show how many episodes there are in a season and track which episode has been released and such. Would also be nice if there’s a way to add bulk items to lists, so you aren’t having to add them one by one. Takes too much time, especially when I have a lot of tv shows to add. But other than that, I have loved sofa 4.0 and can’t wait what else you do with it!

Thanks for taking the time to write such a nice review and the suggestions! I'm glad you're enjoying Sofa!
Brilliant and very gratifying.
Fun and sooo gratifying, some may say useful, to organise and record what you’ve watched, read and what you’ve ‘got to’ watch and ‘got to’ read!!
Wow, what an update!
I was going to stick with the free version of the app because while it was previously lovely, it didn’t go beyond the basics of lists like movies, music, etc. now that I can bookmark and list just about anything, it’s absolutely worth it, so I’ll be using the monthly plan and eventually I might even buy the lifetime purchase just so I can support the development and keep the app forever. On top of everything else the themes are so cute and versatile and it feels like my own set of lists just how I want them. Bravo!
