### 5/5 — It’s the Best!

*2026-03-21*

Overall, this is the best app to track your movies and shows (Anime too), in my opinion.

Before I found this app, I always felt that other apps that we’re good always had something that was missing or had something that made it feel like it was too much. It’s definitely a bonus that I have been able to track all the movies, shows, and anime that I’ve watched in an experience that doesn’t feel buggy or overcrowded.

Showdown definitely is the perfect mix of simplicity, comfortability, and usefulness.

At the times that I talked with the developer before, the responses we’re very reactive and helpful. They seemed to care about the users of Showdown having a good experience with the app.

**Developer response:** ❤️

### 5/5 — Great Movie Tracker

*2026-02-09, version 4.1.1*

I’ve been looking for a free option to make a watchlist and organize my series, i found a great one which costed a lot, but this one, does as well as it too!! Thanks for the app i love it

### 5/5 — The perfect show tracker

*2026-01-16, version 4.1*

Wow this app is amazing, the UI is fantastic and utilises perfectly the new Liquid Glass. It’s completely free without adds but it’s so well done that I have decided to leave a tip.

### 4/5 — App fantastica

*2025-12-07, version 4.0*

App davvero fantastica. Per favore aggiungi la compatibilità con altre lingue (tra cui l’italiano) e la possibilità di distinguere con il logo di un occhio i contenuti già visti rispetto a quelli di tutta la dashboard.
Per il resto app stupenda e ben fatta!

### 5/5 — Exceptional

*2025-07-15*

Nicest, cleanest and most intuitive interface of the dozen plus movie and show trackers I’ve tried.

- Every function and ui element is well-thought out 
- Easy to use / no learning curve
- Can Pin shows and movies to dashboard 
- Useful widgets
- Powerful search that saves your search history
- Doesn’t rely of TrakTV to sync (so no forced limits for lists, etc.)
- Unlimited lists
- Recently added smart list — shows all the media you’ve recently added in one place 
- Archive 
- Uses iCloud to sync between devices (fast)
- Doesn’t rely on subscription (tip jar to support development)
- Just feels right all around
### Suggestions for future updates
- Movie and show notes — space to jot down a personal comment about the show or movie
- Episode notes a place to jot down a note about favorite episodes 
- Calendar and/or Reminder support so you could schedule an upcoming episode or movie from your watch list to the system calendar or an iOS reminder with a link back to the show or movie to quickly mark it as watched (via callback url)
- Bookmark your favorite actors to easily find their newest work
- A few custom app icons to choose from of various colors to match different home screens

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your thorough review. I‘ve taken notes regarding your suggestions.

### 3/5 — Watchlist

*2025-06-22*

The watchlist is useless since it cannot be edited or deleted. At least make it able to be hidden from the library. 3 stars until then, 5 if that happens.

### 5/5 — Tolle App

*2025-05-24, version 3.1.1*

Es wird erwähnt das einiges nur mit der Showdown-Pro geht. Aber wo bekommt man diese und vor allem wo?

### 2/5 — Getting Kicked Out

*2025-01-10*

I loved this app. But the biggest issue that made me switch apps is that I kept getting kicked out. Which was frustrating when I wanted to see what movies to buy but couldn’t access the app.

**Developer response:** I‘m very sorry for the degraded experience. In case you‘re interested in helping to track down the issue, please contact me at showdown.application@gmail.com.

### 5/5 — Tolle App !

*2024-07-31, version 2.2.1*

Perfekt um den Überblick über alle Serien zu behalten. Teilweise muss man Wochen / Jahr(e) auf die nächste Folge oder Staffel warten und so vergisst man nie wo man stehen geblieben ist. Ein Must-have für alle Serienjunkies.

### 5/5 — Love the design and easy to use

*2024-05-18*

I’ve tried a lots of tv tracker apps yet I found this one has all the features I need, plus the price is affordable. With the streaming service these days it’s nice to have the option to track movies.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the support and your kind words!
