Lost all my data

I spent hours uploading my data. I guess it updates logged me out and I’ve used the login and password that I signed up with. It wouldn’t log in so I used reset password and it didn’t find me. So lost many hours of work. I would give this a zero if I could but unfortunately I cannot so will have to re-sign up and spend another few hours deleting up. I didn’t have an import file so that is not an option.

Average

Not as good as tv time. Need to show the air dates and expected air dates of the episodes. Tv time did. Here, it’s just blank. Just the title of the show. Annoying.

The worst interface in history

I’ve never seen such a terrible interface. Whoever wrote it has no idea what they’re doing. The app won’t show you common and standard options like get out of list view. You have to use a web browser for that. In which case what good is the app. All in all the worst app I’ve ever seen.

Response from developer

Simkl Lists app is designed to quickly mark episodes from your existing Simkl Watchlists. Please make sure to use fully featured apps like Simkl PWA from https://simkl.com/apps/

TVTime refugee just signed up!

The fact that they offer to pull your TVTime data in makes it worth a try. But this service is great. Agree with some that the app needs a big update. But the website for the app is incredible. I’ll be hoping for an app upgrade while transferring my data over. This app is the closest to TVTime that I could find of a tracker and social media app combination. Hope the developers make the app as beautiful and feature rich as the website soon cause I love what I’ve found so far!!

Web app vs IOS app

The web app is really good and complete, the iOS app not so much. I should be able to ignore past episodes of long running shows so they don't live forever in my next watch list. There needs to be more option on how to view your watch list, and the only way to access your profile and settings is through the web app.

Needs a rework

This is defiantly not easy app to get around. There was like 4 steps to get to the individual episodes. Just have to make it more of the style of tv time or other top tracking apps cause this is rough to get around at first.

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!

Unloved App

The last update to this app was over 2 years ago, and it shows, it’s a messy, feature-less clunky mess. The TrakT app in comparison is so much better.

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.
