Jumped the shark
Have to sign into the app every time I open it with some magic email spam. It seems their user support is on permanent vacation. If there was ever an abandonware version of a web service, this would be it.
UX nightmare
I've never left an app review before but felt I needed to on this. I had to download Trakt because TVST kept losing all my shows and at least some of them were backed up to this app.
I'm a UX designer and to put it simply, the app just isn't intuitive. TVST may have been simple and without lots of features, but at least the layout made sense.
Recommendations:
- Let the user click on a show and see what episodes they have and haven't watched.
- The calendar is too detailed, show the series and when the next ep is out. Or at least add a toggle to allow the user to change the view.
- Remove having to add when you watched something. It just adds an extra step to what should be the click of a button.
- if a show has lots of episodes in a season, it's impossible to horizontally scroll to the end. Make it a vertical drop down, should be obvious.
- in history why is it episode instead of the series view? Same as the calendar, you should click into the show to see detail, it's simple hierarchical navigation. List title > Show > Season > Episodes.
- put that streak counter somewhere else it doesn't meet the basic function of the app.
I'm sure there's more and I hope someone reads this and takes my advice so I can get back to having my shows organised.
Appreciate the effort and I hope you find the time to improve the app, thanks.

watchlist
I was actually enjoying using the app, but only a watchlist with 100 items?? Are you kidding, it’s a fraud to force ppl to buy VIP at least do limit like 200 or something...
Good app
Great replacement for TV TIME the auto tracking feature is good. I’d prefer a better comments section on movies episodes etc similar to what tv time had. But not bad.
Block feature doesn’t work
The fact that I couldn’t find anywhere to report a bug on the app, and spent extra time trying to navigate their forums only to have such unintuitive UI where I couldn’t even find a post button, so now I am sharing feedback on here.
The comment section on a lot of shows have very vocal, arrogant people who it seems post mostly for ragebait. Maybe it’s just inevitable because there will always be snobs. I tried to block one so that I don’t have to read their unproductive comments, but they still show up. I’ve tried closing the app, moving from different pages and returning to the page, going to their profile to see if there’s a block button there, but nothing.
