why can’t I choose a simple password? It’s bloody TV shows tracking!
Why do I have to use a password at all?
Achtung Abofalle
Beim Start der App wird man durch Werbung in eine Abofalle von XRAcedemy gelockt, welche nach 1 Tag monatlich 49,99€ von einem wollen.
Leider sehr unseriös mit solchen Werbepartnern (von denen simkli sicherlich gut vergütet wird) zusammenzuarbeiten.

Unloved App
The last update to this app was over 3 years ago, and it shows, it’s a messy, feature-less clunky mess. This “app” looks like a high school project rather than a professional app!

Update needed!
The Simkl app needs an update to keep up with the web version.
HAS NOT BEEN UPDATED IN TWO YEARS!!!!
BE FOREWARNED!!!!!
Downloaded and deleted within 7 minutes
This all is terrible. It’s basically a webpage macerating as an app. It doesn’t even fit the phone screen correctly. It’s clunky, massively oversized font and a confusing array of colours and buttons and disjointed links. Wow this is bad.
Anyway, I downloaded, signed up, went to privacy settings and realised you can only make your account private by paying for VIP so deleted account and then deleted the app. All within 7 minutes.
Shocking.

Just need one feature
I really like this app. The free version does just fine for me. If there was one feature missing that a lot of these tv/movie trackers don’t have is live progress on Lock Screen like Trakt TV has. This is a nice feature to have.
Great service and website, but app needs an update
It’s been a couple of years since the app was updated and it is nowhere near as good as using the website. It makes the app redundant to use and puts off users from using simkl
Needs work
Now Trakt has moved to a pay model there is a gap in the market. I use this with KODI but the integration is terrible. It’s continuous popups during movies & TV is intrusive and you can leave a rating. Simkl could be a leading contender to plug the hole Trakt left.
The website is much better than the app
I thought I’d try out Simkl after using Trakt for quite some time.
I will say that the website has some nice features. But this app, wow, it’s rubbish. It’s nowhere near as good as the Trakt app, and the Trakt website is very good as well.
Sorry Simkl team, I’ll be uninstalling this and continuing with Trakt. If I’m going to pay for the advanced features, I may as well go with the best.
1 star for the app as it feels half finished, and is nothing more than a glorified front end for basic API calls to watchlists.

The better IMDb
This is by far the best replacement for IMDB and other watchlists I was able to find.
Give it a try, you won’t regret it!

A little buggy
Don’t use this app, but do use this service. Seems like weird advice, right? Over a year without an update of a very barebones app that was never any good anyway. The web experience is miles better and much more reliable than all the trakt-powered apps I find. Using the site as a web app, it has bad bottom nav bugs and doesn’t always refresh, so I just bookmark the site and go there instead. Wish the favicon was at least legible in Safari with a black background.

Great App, wish it was little more like the website though
Like said in the title, it’s a great app and I love it so much, but I wish it had the same features like on the website so I could see what my friends were watching as well and others things as well, still a great app tho.
Not much point to it
The few things I want to use the app for just get redirected to my phone web browser. Everything is fine in that view, so why can’t that be the app? Web on desktop works well and that’s what I normally use.
HORRIBLE
THE APP DOESN’T EVEN WORK 🙄
A little buggy
Can no longer mark the first episode of a show as watched from the Aired tab. Have to drill down to the show’s page and manually complete episode one and then it works fine for the remaining episodes. Happens every time I start a new show though. One year without updates. Bugs are starting to pile up. App needs some TLC.

I want to like it…
I want to like this I really do but the app is garbage if you want me to review the actual service using it in a web browser it’s fantastic but this is not a true native iOS app it’s a web app or progressive app whatever they call it that’s trash. It’s not user-friendly. It’s not very friendly. It doesn’t go back like a normal iOS app would there bugs all over it and glitches. It’s just very clunky and there’s an actual app. I’ll continue using Trakt as my go to.

Amazing concept, rubbish app
The concept itself is incredible, so helpful and the database is amazing but just the actual app and how it works on the phone and how hard it is to do anything is what gives it a one star. I’m guessing it’s supposed to be a web thing not an app, but you can even go back once you gone onto a movie, it’s so hard to navigate the app. It’s just need a clean up with a app developer and then it would be incredible!
