App Issues
Updated the app to version 3.0 and subscribed to the premium version.
The watchlist / TV tab does not refresh correctly - constantly getting the “something went wrong” page. Also, marking an episode as watched takes the app a long time to update.
The Watchlist / Movie tab also does not refresh correctly - after marking a movie as watched the remaining group of movies does not refresh to the top of the page.
The actor / actress credits page with their credits cannot be sorted by release date - all of their respective credits are out of order making it difficult to locate titles to track. In addition some of their credits are missing from their respective profiles.
The profile / my tv shows watched tv shows broken down by “airing, waiting, ended” however the shows cannot be further sorted either by alphabetical or by date/year.
The profile / my movies page have all movies watched and not watched lumped together and cannot be separated by watched or not watched and additionally also cannot be further sorted alphabetically or by date.
The profile / Archive page also does not allow for sorting as well. Also, can you please advise why the “Archive” page is not in the “My TV” page with the rest of the shows?

Response from developer
Hi there, Thanks for taking the time to write all this out. There's a lot here, and I'd really like our team to look at it properly. Could you email us at support@hobiapp.com so we can dig in with you? If we can get things running smoothly for you, a 5 star update would mean a lot to the two of us.
V3 looks good, but just removed features and skyrocketed prices
You can no longer sort TV shows by anything other than recently watched unless you pay their latest price hike for premium. The biggest issue with V3 is the developer publicly lying about keeping all free features the same from V2 to V3 while paywalling all sorting options. On top of that, premium used to be $10 for life, V3 changed that to $20/yr without warning. It’s definitely not worth it for free users now, and do you really want to risk paying for premium when developers have shown they will be dishonest, raising prices without warning and removing features? You’re better off finding any other dime-a-dozen TV tracking app.
And Eran, even though you banned me from the forum after asking you to keep your word, I’ll happily change this 1-star to a 5-star and purchase premium if you restore the free sorting option like you publicly stated would remain free.

Response from developer
Hey there, I hear you, and I'm sorry you're feeling this way. The subscription is honestly what keeps Hobi alive and lets the two of us keep working on it. I'd hate to lose you over it. If you ever feel like giving us another shot, a 5 star update would mean a lot.
Mes débuts
Sauf erreur on ne voit pas comment de saisons la série comporte et si d’autres sont à venir…
Response from developer
Bonjour, Merci d'avoir pris le temps de nous écrire et de tester Hobi. On note bien votre retour avec attention. Un avis 5 étoiles nous aiderait beaucoup à continuer à grandir tous les deux.
From 5 star to 2 star
I really loved this app but the new update is hard to use, I don’t even know how to search shows anymore, and I have no idea what benefits came from this update… did anyone really ask for this??
What happened to this app?!
Go back to what made V2 great, the simplicity! Also where did all my stats go?! I will gladly reverse my 1 star when I see some better changes.
I hate the new version
I hate that my shows disappear and I have to search for them! I want to turn off trakt because I think it keeps messing up and I don’t know how to do that! I miss the “discovery” part of the app. Overall it sucks now!
Love this App

The only problem I have with it is you can’t see what episode number you are on.

Recent Update Wrecked The App
I’m a paid user of the app and it’s been enjoyable all along up until the recent numerous updates. Hopefully it gets fixed soon. Like the idea of including movies but
when I searched for 2 particular movies: Prescription
Murder (1968) and Ransom For a Dead Man (1971) neither of them show up. Please add these 2 movies to the database.

Do not update to version 3
Version 3 has more bugs than any app I have ever encountered.
Took years to release and to be honest, wished I stayed on version 2.
Version 3 needs binning and update everyone back to version 2

New update
The new version 3 has some problems. Doesn’t take a checkmark when finished with an episode and appt shuts down when you click the season button. Both these issues have happened several times. There is a bug somewhere.
Third review. The whole app
I will submit this review everyday till they contact me. I’ve made a review before and never received a response. There is no other way to contact them! I signed up for the yearly payment plan but it did not go through on their end but it did take the money from my account. How do these people contact me back?!

Complete rewrite!
They did a complete rewrite and morons broke a working app. Lost my shows. Adding shows doesn’t work.
Several bad updates…
The latest update fixed the crashing problem but now it won’t let me check off episodes that I have watched. PLEASE FIX.
Newest update crashes
Sadly, this once awesome app is bricked with its latest update.
Developer contacted me after this review. It was initially working again but it’s super buggy again. They must’ve rushed out this new version.

A Few Kinks
Since updating to Hobi 3, there are many kinks. The sort feature no longer works. Shows seem to be randomly sorted. Also having an issue checking off when an episode has been watched. Get error message - Episode unavailable, check your connection.
Better work on that Update
Love this app. But update has brought many bugs.
Don’t like the update
It was nice and easy to be able to know where things were in the list. Now it seems to be based on activity of the shows, not in alphabetical order, unless you pay for it. And the costs have gone up. Rip off and I’m looking for a new app.
Bad update
The new update removed the discover tab and broke trakt sync, almost a daily update is released and still not fixed
Was good but dropped support for iOS 15!
Was a great Trakt app which I paid for but for some reason they are forcing everyone to upgrade to v3.0 but iOS 15 doesn’t support it. So I can no longer use the app! NOT HAPPY!!!!
Old review:
I’ve been trying to find a good Trackt client after the one I used for years stopped working. This is a good client and I might buy premium but it needs to STOP asking me to upgrade every time I log in! Otherwise I will delete it and find another one that doesn’t push it.

Awful update
What a great way to alienate user with this money grab update Charging for features that are built-in on other apps will only make people move to those apps. Deleted.
