## What is ShowPal Movies with Trakt.tv?

This is the definitive movie tracker powered by Trakt.tv


ShowPal Movies is the best way to manage, discover and keep track of your movies. It's powered with Trakt so you can get all your up-to-date info synced in every device.

We have built a gesture driven interface so you can mark as watched, as favorite or even change the cover artwork with simple, intuitive finger gestures.

We don't want to bore you with the same interface, so you can customize the app by changing between two different layouts: Poster and Fanart. Hardcore users will love the condensed view option!
Once you have chosen the layout, you can customize the Poster and Fanart images with a simple swipe; browsing the images at full screen, and even save and share them.

You can also change the app's color scheme (Light and Dark) and choose from six different highlight colors.
Finally, you can use the tinted option to enhance the app’s UI. You can even make ShowPal automatically look different every day!

When you are in the mood for new movies, tap the add button to go to the Discovery area, where you can see our personal picks, trending and popular movies. If you're connected to Trakt.tv, you can also get recommendations based on your movies, as well as find out what movie your friends are watching.

We highly encourage you to create a Trakt.tv account; doing so will allow you to keep a backup of your watched history and also comment or rate your favorite movies. If you plan on using ShowPal both on your iPhone and your iPad, a Trakt.tv account is a must.

Enjoy!

And remember that if you're also a TV Show addict, you can keep track of your favorite TV Shows with ShowPal TV!

PLEASE NOTE: This app is meant to keep track of your favorite movies. You CANNOT VIEW movies within this app.

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2025-11-18, version 1.9.10*

Not sure why but seems to crash a lot lately

### 1/5 — Can’t follow more

*2025-04-26, version 1.9.10*

Have paid for premium and I can’t follow more than 10 movies

### 1/5 — Anybody Home?

*2024-05-20, version 1.9.10*

Suddenly app wants me to upgrade to Premium but there’s no way to do so. Non-functional. Very sad. I hope the TV version doesn’t break. I rely on it heavily.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2022-08-28, version 1.9.8*

Nothing is working and hasn’t for a long time

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work anymore

*2022-04-22, version 1.9.8*

Can’t add movies anymore. You can’t select anything you search.

### 2/5 — Not working well

*2022-01-17, version 1.9.6*

I was using this app for long time but now It's very slow and not even can add new content (move); I tried to disconnect and connect trakt.tv but unfortunately it's look like down.!!

### 3/5 — Organization

*2021-09-04, version 1.9.6*

It would be nice if all the movies where separated into taps…

NEW
UPCOMING 
ARCHIVED

Please add so it is easier to scroll through the movies.

### 1/5 — Apparently abandoned app

*2021-07-03, version 1.9.6*

Once was a good app but apparently has been abandoned.

### 1/5 — Absolutely awful app!!

*2021-03-14, version 1.9.6*

DO NOT BUY THIS APP, it doesn’t completely sync with Trakt & has an awful layout.

### 1/5 — Could have been great.

*2021-01-03, version 1.9.6*

Another abandoned app that had potential. I wish I had not wasted my money. Searching for movies works sporadically and the trakt syncing requires multiple syncs to work and a host of other issues.
