## What is ShowPal TV powered by Trakt.tv?

ShowPal TV is the best way to manage, discover and keep track of your favorite TV shows. Now powered with Trakt so you can get all your up-to-date info synced in every device.

In order to manage your TV shows easily, we have built a gesture driven interface so you can mark as watched, as favorite or even archive your finished shows with simple, intuitive finger gestures.

You can sort your TV shows with three different sorting options: Next Episode, Last Episode and Alphabetically. Choose the one that suits your watching habits.

Since this is an app you're going to use every day, 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 TV shows, tap the add button to go to the Discovery area, where you can see our personal picks, trending and popular shows. If you're connected to Trakt.tv, you can also get recommendations based on your shows, as well as find out what TV shows 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 TV shows. If you plan on using ShowPal both on your iPhone and your iPad, a Trakt.tv account is a must.

Last, but not least, we have made some beautiful themes to change the whole UI based on our most loved TV shows, like Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead and Breaking Bad. We also plan to develop new themes in the future ;)

Enjoy!

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

### 2/5 — trakt sync broke

*2026-07-29, version 2.9.29*

can’t connect to trakt anymore. unable to sync

### 1/5 — Support no longer exists

*2026-07-23, version 2.9.29*

The email listed for support on the app store is no longer in service and returns a bounce back. The app randomly disconnects from trakt, completely losing information without notice and tract support hasn’t responded to multiple emails for support over three weeks. 
I rebuilt my data on this app once after a massive bug deleted huge chunks, but this clearly is time to jump ship to a functional and supported app.

### 3/5 — Missing Features

*2026-07-08, version 2.9.29*

I love this app to keep track of TV shows, but one thing it is missing is the ability to mark all episodes as watched or mark certain seasons as watched.

### 1/5 — Andrew

*2026-06-29, version 2.9.29*

I was happy with the app for the most part but out of a sudden (app update?) several hundred shows I keep in it got messed up beyond recognition and Trakt is of no use to fix it.

### 4/5 — Buona App

*2026-05-15, version 2.9.29*

Bella App, non do 5 stelle perché le ultime serie non ci sono ancora.
Aggiornate più spesso!!!

### 1/5 — Crashing on iOS 26.4.2

*2026-05-10, version 2.9.29*

The option to add more shows is crashing and not working on iOS 26.4.2.

### 1/5 — Trakt sync not working

*2026-05-02, version 2.9.29*

I need to login to trakt every couple od days. It’s just useless. And the app seems to be dead. Email support doesn’t exist, twitter account gone

### 3/5 — Please Fix Archiving!

*2026-05-01, version 2.9.29*

I love this app but it’s having trouble syncing lately to my Trakt and archiving is undoing. 
Update: Still happening May 2026. Archived shows no longer archived.

### 1/5 — Revisad antes de pagar

*2026-02-07, version 2.9.29*

La App está abandonada. 
A día de hoy NO interesa ya que tiene muchos fallos y hace más de dos años que no se solucionan.

### 1/5 — App ist kaputt / Deutsche Übersetzung, aber nervig bei alten Episoden

*2026-01-23, version 2.9.29*

Edit: leider wird man ständig aus Trakt ausgeloggt. So kann man die App nicht wirklich verwenden

Prinzipiell praktische App. Im Gegensatz zu anderen auch mit deutscher Übersetzung. Leider markiert sie manchmal auch alte Episoden als gesehen, ohne dass man dieses Verhalten abschalten kann.
