### 3/5 — Authentication seems broken

*2026-02-28, version 4.0.6*

I have been using this app to track movies and tv series for years and I like it. But right now I suddenly can’t access my account any more. The app starts up with “verify your phone number” and when I do so I get the error “phone number is used by another account”. But I only have one account and there isn’t an option to change the account anyway. So basically I am locked out. Very disappointed.

### 4/5 — Honestly, it should be on everyone’s device!

*2025-12-10, version 4.0.6*

I LOVE Soon!  Ok, it’s a  tiny little app with only a few reviews but I can’t find anything that comes close to doing what it does. If you’re like me, you like to keep lists of everything - not just books and movies!  This is what you can log: Podcasts, Games, Places, Cafes, Hotels, Museums, Stores, Bars & Clubs, Restaurants, Music, Books, TV Series, Movies and…. you can create your own lists. 
It lets you mark things off when they’re “done” which is helpful for me to look back and remind myself….  Yes, there are things that could be improved and it’s not super sophisticated the way other book tracking apps are ….. but I don’t need all that and I want to track more than just books!  I want to have one place to collect all these bits of information and Soon does exactly that!   Have a look. It’s great!!!!!

### 1/5 — Abandonware

*2025-09-23, version 4.0.6*

It's disgusting that the devs haven't allowed users to export their data. Years of data down the drain.

### 5/5 — One-Stop Shop

*2025-09-20, version 4.0.6*

Great for storing all of the things you want to keep track of! Whether it’s movies, TV shows, podcasts, restaurants, books, etc, this is perfect for keeping all of the things you want to get to in one place

### 1/5 — Can’t create an account

*2025-09-20, version 4.0.6*

I was so happy to found out that this app can have more than just movies lists, but after adding my info it continues to load (no end to it) and it never creates my profile :(

### 1/5 — Very clunky

*2025-09-03, version 4.0.6*

I couldn’t log in on my iPad having successfully signed up on my phone. Later I couldn’t access the app on my phone! Deleted both.

### 2/5 — Can’t login anymore

*2025-08-30, version 4.0.6*

I had made an account before and then got a new phone. Now it keeps asking me to verify my phone number and then telling me that my phone number is “already connected to another account.” It is certainly connected to an account - mine. Please fix this bug and let me login again!

### 2/5 — Used to be great

*2025-08-30, version 4.0.6*

I loved, recommended and raved about this app. I’d have liked it to be a little bit more customisable, but otherwise it was great. 
Now, it’s really hard to add things how and where you want them; adding new places is laborious and I don’t even bother. In my last review I said I’d be happy to pay for this app - I’ve deleted that review to say I’m looking for a replacement.

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2025-01-08, version 4.0.5*

Since running the update I Can’t sign and therefore I have lost access to my stored info

### 1/5 — Imposible logearse

*2025-01-05, version 4.0.4*

No puedo ni probarla porque me da continuamente error al intentar entrar
