### 3/5 — Bom app

*2026-08-22*

O app é bom, mas existem filmes que não consigo encontrar e não há opção para exportar dados.

### 5/5 — Really good app

*2026-08-18*

It has free version of the application! The library is really vast and supports integration with other apps.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2026-07-26*

Estou curtindo usar o app. Simples e fácil de usar.

### 5/5 — 10/10 Masterclass

*2026-07-22*

I rarely leave app reviews, but in this case I simply had to! This app is absolutely amazing! The person developing it knows exactly how an app like this needs to work and look. Usability through the roof! The best app I've found over the past years by far!

### 4/5 — Almost Perfect, But Could Use Some Data Help

*2026-07-21*

This is the media consumption app I have stuck with after trying a handful. The UI has many options without being complex. Intuitive is the word I would use to describe it. People like to organize media differently and the develop team recognizes this but does not get overly finicky. The poster images are crisp and when you select one, the transition to the fullscreen view is smooth and fun. Recognizing that they don’t have all the details, they do a good job of surfacing other resources. I wish they had a callout to Callsheet. The main problem I have with Sequel is that it’s a bit think on the cast and crew info. I generally have to pop over to Callsheet to see actors not listed in Sequel as well as well as demographic data about them. I also which I could select a image for an actor listed and see it in a larger format. Mash Sequel with Callsheet and you have a 5 star product. Thanks for the hard work, it is appreciated.

### 4/5 — Clean and efficient

*2026-07-20*

Love it! Hopefully we would see some new features in the future for a bit more easier tracking. Something direct on the home screen. Also some overall stats!

### 5/5 — Quasi parfaite

*2026-07-20*

Et en tous cas, la meilleure app de suivi de visionnage. Design soigné, rapide, et bien pensée.
Mises a jour régulières avec de bonnes idées, sauvegarde iCloud, ne s’encombre pas de fonctionnalités inutiles et fouillies comme Betaseries qui fait usine a gaz à coté.
Petites remarques pour rendre les choses encore meilleurs : sur iPad 11 pro M1, le defilement des series vues, dans mon cas une liste sur 10 ans avec environ 450 series, est saccadé et mange la batterie a vue d’oeil, meme lorsque les images sont chargées. Et dans l’ensemble les transitions d’ouverture/fermeture d’une fiche de serie rame aussi pas mal. Surement un ajustement car le M1 est capable d’encaisser normalement.
Par ailleurs, j’adorerais voir une courbe des notes des episodes par saison, comme le faisait feu TVtime, ce qui donne une idée de la qualité de la serie, surtout quand elle finie en noeud de boudin et donne l’impression d’avoir perdu son temps (Lost je parle de toi).
Enfin, le modèle économique est bcp trop cher, l’abonnement est une plaie. Je veux bien faire un achat unique de qques euros mais l’abonnement surement pas.

**Developer response:** Merci beaucoup pour ce retour très détaillé, et pour le compliment sur le design.

Bien qu’il n’y ait pas de calendrier, il existe plusieurs façons de voir ce que vous pouvez regarder. Vous pouvez trier vos séries par date de sortie du dernier épisode, et la file « Watch Next » place automatiquement les nouveaux épisodes en tête de liste.

Pour l'import TV Time, la fonctionnalité a été ajoutée en quelques jours afin de permettre aux utilisateurs de TV Time de migrer leurs données, d'où le manque d'indications sur le fichier CSV à fournir. La prochaine mise à jour corrigera cela.

Sequel essaie de trouver un équilibre entre simplicité et richesse pour ne pas surcharger l'interface, mais je serais ravi de savoir quelles informations vous aimeriez voir sur la fiche d'une série.

Quant à la batterie, ce n'est pas un retour que j'avais reçu jusqu'ici, et j'aimerais vraiment comprendre ce qui se passe de votre côté. N'hésitez pas à m'écrire à romain@getsequel.app, que ce soit à ce sujet ou pour vos idées de fonctionnalités.

Merci encore d'avoir pris le temps de partager tout cela.

### 5/5 — Really solid app, but…

*2026-07-17, version 2.8*

I downloaded this after TVTime's closure announcement, and the user interface is just GORGEOUS. Leagues ahead of the competition. 

As you can expect, I'm mostly here for TV tracking and the experience is almost perfect, so I hope you don't mind a few of my suggestions.

My big one is that I wish we had more tabs to divide our saved items. Perhaps something like:

- Continue Watching (same purpose as the current watchlist)
- Want to Watch (shows you haven’t started yet but are interested in)
- Dropped (for shows you gave up on, or just aren’t currently watching anymore)
- Watched (for finished and up to date series only)
- Everything (big page for everything together)

Another small feature I’d love is a small progress bar beneath or on the poster of our shows, basically showing how far through you are at a glance. 

As well as this, I think there should be a visual toggle whether or not to show the show’s release date and title when viewing all the saved items together. I prefer the look of just having the posters next to each other.

My suggestions aside, this is a fantastic app and would really recommend to others! Even got some friends on too.

### 5/5 — seems cool

*2026-07-16, version 2.8.1*

seems cool

### 5/5 — Beyond incredible

*2026-07-16, version 2.8.1*

Amazing but pls add another layer of subfolder for collections and also enable explicit shows/games (you can blur them like letterboxd if its easier). Lastly, game screenshots please (like stash app) and then this would be absolutely perfect!!!!!

- Your completed items are now grouped by completion year. You can also switch to grouping by month.
- Series you've watched can be grouped by Returning State into three sections: Returning (expected to return), Concluded (has ended or was cancelled), and Stopped Watching (you're no longer watching it).

- The accuracy of the matching algorithm has been improved.
- Fixed: Trakt sync may stop working for some users.

Previously in Sequel 2.8:

▶ IMPORT YOUR LIBRARY
Bring your history with you. Sequel can now import your existing library right from the Preferences screen, with support for TV Time, Letterboxd, IMDb, Simkl, Goodreads, and more.

▶ MEDIA LOGOS
The details screen now shows an item's logo, selected using advanced image analysis and only shown when it's legible against the backdrop. The refreshed layout also lets you see more information at a glance.

▶ A MORE REFINED DETAILS SCREEN
The hero image now moves with a parallax effect as you scroll, so the whole screen feels more alive. It also opens more responsively, and text throughout is more legible.

▶ MAGIC LOOKUP
Magic Lookup in the share extension is faster and more accurate. Results start appearing sooner, especially on pages with lots of items, and we removed the cap on how many items it shows. Perfect for those "Top 100" lists.

OTHER IMPROVEMENTS
• Numerous layout improvements, especially at larger font sizes. • Added Kobo and Libro.fm to "Open in" for books and audiobooks. • Books and audiobooks now hide overly long, descriptive subtitles to keep the focus on the actual title.
