### 2/5 — trakt sync broke

*2026-07-29, version 2.9.29*

can’t connect to trakt anymore. unable to sync

### 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.

### 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!!!

### 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.

### 4/5 — Porque narices la última actualización no está en ESPAÑOL

*2025-12-15, version 2.9.29*

La última crialo vino da problemas. Al meterme en una serie que tengo como favorita y la estoy siguiendo, la aplicación se cierra, y no la puedo volver a abrir hasta que no la desinstalo y la vuelvo a instalar. La única serie con quien pasa en The Wire.

Por cierto: 

El español es el segundo idioma mas hablado en el mundo (400 millones de persona) por delante del inglés (360 millones) que lo tienen como lengua materna. 
PORQUE ESTA APLICACIÓN NO SE PUEDE PONER EN ESPAÑOL???

Spanish is the second most spoken language in the world (400 million people) ahead of English (360 million) who have it as their mother tongue.
BECAUSE THIS APPLICATION CAN NOT BE PLACED IN SPANISH ???

### 3/5 — Still no widget in iOS 26

*2025-12-14, version 2.9.29*

Can you please add support for widget in iOS 26? Thanks.

### 1/5 — Stability issues

*2025-12-04, version 2.9.29*

The app keeps loosing connection with trakt. I have to log in almost every time I open the app

### 1/5 — Abstürze

*2025-12-01, version 2.9.29*

Leider zur Zeit nicht mehr zu gebrauchen, ständig Abstürze, bitte um eine schnelle Aktualisierung bzw. Fehlerbehebung

### 4/5 — Improvements are finally making this app what it should have always been.

*2025-11-27, version 2.9.29*

Update 6: The creator messaged back on Twitter to let those who reported the issue know he'd resolved it (very quickly). I confirmed it's back to working very well as expected. 

Update 5: I'm now on iOS 26. The app has worked well and I increased my rating to reflect as much, but it has  one again started to see stability issues. Whenever adding or deleting a series the app crashes. Hopefully this is something they quickly fix and I can once again increase the rating. Still the best app out there for tv show tracking but it also still could be much better. 

Update 4: I keep having to reduce my rating. After iOS 13 this app is trash. It stalls when marking things as watched. It is now crashing and that is after it marked everything not mine as unwatched. So now I'm lost on things I still have to watch. So what's the point?!? I want to like this app. For the lounge of God. Fix it already!!!!

Update 3: They fixed the crashing issue and much to my surprise after saying earlier that they simply wouldn't do landscape mode because it was "so broken" they've finally decided to add it for both iPad and iPhone. The app is much better overall now. Their Support staff is still lacking and does not reply (running 1/3 times I've contacted them). 

Update 2: Newest version crashes constantly. Now near unusable. Keeps getting worse somehow!!!

Update: Now some shows are continuously coming back as unwatched even after meeting them watched dozens of times. I'm about done with this app. 

I use this on both my phone and iPad. The decision to remove landscape mode on iPads because "it was so broken and was a quick port to the iPad" is one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard. Fix the program correctly don't limit it. This shows a total lack of commitment to the program. Also it is very annoying you can't change time zones still to reflect the proper show times. Get it together guys. This could be a great five star app if you did.

### 1/5 — Issues are coming back

*2025-11-25, version 2.9.29*

App started to crash whenever you try to archive the show, add new one and even mark something as watched. Looks like some serious issues with trakt sync

### 2/5 — Crashing

*2025-11-25, version 2.9.29*

The app has been crashing and completely non functional

### 1/5 — Updated 2025

*2025-11-24, version 2.9.29*

Seems like this app is no longer in service, having lost most working server connections. A real shame as it remains my very favorite implementation of a Trakt-compatible interface.

But currently it won’t even load its “discover” start-up screen, and it crashes if I try to add anything to my show list (and this whether it’s linked to Trakt or not, on multiple devices). Unless the developer returns to service the app, seems like it may finally be dead for good.

### 1/5 — Fallos

*2025-11-24, version 2.9.29*

Se cierra la App al incluir una serie nueva

### 3/5 — Unable to add new shows

*2025-11-24, version 2.9.29*

I've tweeted at the developer, and still no response. Hopefully they fix this asap.

### 1/5 — is the app dead? November 2025

*2025-11-24, version 2.9.29*

Can’t archive or unarchive shows any more - when I do, the app crashes every time. I’ve used this app for many years, have tried others, but this one’s always been the best. Sad to see it abandoned. Wouldn’t mind paying so the developer could keep it working.

### 1/5 — Do not BUY, Abandoned App

*2025-11-24, version 2.9.29*

This was one of the best tv show tracking apps but it’s been abandoned now. Last update was 2 years a go and lot of the features no longer work.

Also the app crashes constantly. 

Essentially it’s become a useless app.

Don’t waste your money.

### 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.

### 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.

### 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

### 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.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2026-01-09, version 2.9.29*

Broken (again). It’s impossible to add new shows now as it crashes as soon as I try to add one. 

This app has been experiencing this kind thing in the past, too. On two separate occasions, the app wouldn’t launch and it required a complete uninstall and reinstall which erase the entire watch history and losing that data. The developer fixed those but now the app is crashing again when attempting to add new shows, but it might never be fixed now as the app is probably abandonware now.

### 1/5 — Abandoned app

*2025-12-09, version 2.9.29*

App is abandoned a just crashes. Simply won’t work anymore. Shame as it has a paid feature with premium users.

### 1/5 — App fechando

*2025-12-06, version 2.9.29*

Toda vez que vou tentar adicionar uma série nova o app fecha sozinho

### 5/5 — Works perfectly again, thank you!

*2025-12-02, version 2.9.29*

This is 100% the best TV tracking app. I've used it daily for years.

### 5/5 — Updated 2025

*2025-11-29, version 2.9.29*

Update: Seems like it’s back? Hope it lasts!

### 5/5 — update: fixed, thank you

*2025-11-28, version 2.9.29*

UPDATE: The app is now working correctly again. Back to 5 stars with big thanks to the developer!

PREVIOUS REVIEW: Can’t archive or unarchive shows any more - when I do, the app crashes every time. I’ve used this app for many years, have tried others, but this one’s always been the best. Sad to see it abandoned. Wouldn’t mind paying so the developer could keep it working.

### 5/5 — Not Happy!

*2025-11-24, version 2.9.29*

As of this morning, the app just crashes completely every time you try to open it. It launches briefly, then just crashes! Please fix ASAP!

### 5/5 — Simple y estupenda

*2025-04-10, version 2.9.29*

Es una gran app para mantener organizada tus series y estar al tanto de cuando estrenan. Dolo he tenido un incidente al no poder archivar las series finalizadas, vuelven aparecer en el apartado inicial. Fuera de eso todo genial.

### 5/5 — Love it! Just a few issues for me

*2025-02-15, version 2.9.29*

I’m really enjoying this and it definitely helps me keep track of what I’m watching. But there are a few things that I think should get fixed. Sometimes when I try and archive something when it refresh or close the app it gets puts back into the what I’m watching section. Slightly annoying to have to change that every time I open the app.

### 5/5 — App stürzt ab

*2025-01-21, version 2.9.29*

Update: App startet wieder. 

Die App stürzt nach dem öffnen direkt ab. Eine Benutzung ist leider nicht mehr möglich.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2024-11-16, version 2.9.29*

Does what I want without the usage limits of other apps.

### 5/5 — 好用

*2024-11-03, version 2.9.29*

很好用

### 5/5 — Episode Updates

*2024-10-31, version 2.9.29*

App has just started not allowing me to track the show I’m watching - tick the episodes and then when I go back to the app it’s not updated?   Can’t get through via the support link so post g this
