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.

Well worth the subscription!
Since I stream shows and movies 95% of the time, keeping track of what I’ve seen can be a challenge. This app solves that problem. Easy to track, love the calendar feature for upcoming stuff.
I also track my library items under lists for things i own. I know that the web version handles owned items, but since the app does not, just makes things easier.
Wish list: i have many lists for different purposes. I really wish when you add something to a list, the lists would appear in alphabetical order for ease of use. Thanks for considering my request!

It’s so bad now
Trakt used to be great. Now to me it’s basically awful. No ability to rate individual seasons and they switched from a 10 point scale to a 5 point scale to attempt to get higher ratings.
Company is tanking itself
I’ve been a Trakt user for 8+ years. I was VIP for many of those and they just keep tanking itself so bad that it’s time to call it quits. You guys did this to yourself.
En____tification
The site and app have gotten considerably worse in recent months. They follow the rediculous “sign in before you can use anything” pattern of X - not the best role model. Yet another company monetizing all the reviews and data users provided them.
Garbage
I was a loyal user for 14 years. In the recent year or so the app, the service and the team have change and the new direction is outrageous. I've reached the point where I left Trakt. It became a useless garbage. The team is greedy. And they delete all negative feedback or criticism whenever they can. Also they ban you if they don't like what you say about the product.

Smooth and Awesome!!!
Was originally using TVTime for the longest time. Unfortunately they shut down and closed the app. Google suggested this app and was able to move my tvtime data over. So far (about a week) it’s actually been way better than tvtime. Smooth from page to page and opening app and different things within app. I haven’t had in issue yet. I loved tvtime but it was a glitchy app and always had issues loading and working right. Unfortunate they shut down but fortunately for me brought me onto a much better app (so far).

Not very user friendly
First of all, it doesn’t have crave on the linking for premium.
It’s not very accurate in recording watched items in your subscriptions. I don’t understand how you pay to link with your services if the functionality isn’t 100%.
It’s kind of difficult to use, I came from tv time and this apps functionality is pretty lacking. I wish I could edit lists by selecting multiple to “drop” from watching or mark watched. I’d also like when I hit “watched” for an episode that it’d give me the option to mark previous episodes as watched… tv time was very user friendly, too bad they shut down.

Greediest service in the game
They just keep coming up with ways to provide less in their free tier. It has been progressively getting worse for the past 2 years. At this point it is time to look elsewhere
Bug trop
Impossible de s’y connecter, l’UI ne déclenche jamais l’envoi d’un lien de connexion. Vous pouvez pas faire comme tout le monde avec un login mot de passe puis MFA ? Je peux plus me co désormais.
Sumiu meu histórico de repente!
De uma hora pra outra perdi todo o meu histórico! Usava para catalogar o que assistia durante o ano e, de repente, tudo sumiu!
Ruined.
New UI design is awful. Less information is visible at any given time. Can’t mark certain ancient episodes as watched because their air date is “TBD”. I’m not really sure how you managed to completely ruin a perfectly fine experience, but good job with that. I’m switching to another app to track my watch history from now on.

Totalausfall
Seit gestern hat die App einen Totalausfall. Sie lädt zwar, aber die Inhalte laden nicht, und es wird eine Fehlermeldung gezeigt.
Unusable with V3 interface
The new V3 interface is totally unusable.
Unintuitive and many missing features.
Even the basic features are missing now.
When the app switched to V3 it got extremely worse but was still usable for manually tracking (even that got worse but was still usable), eveb id that was the only usable function of the app.
But at least we had the V2 web version that was still usable.
Until last weal wenn they forced all VIP users to rhe unusable V3.
Trakt dies for me as a long time VIP back then.
Canceled the overpriced subscription I was only willing to pay because of what V2 offeres and moves over to WeTrakt (still beta and lacking some features but way better and more features that V3 Trakt).

Disappointing changes.
I have always felt like some of the hate towards Trakt was over the top, and that for the average user, the experience was fairly good. But the changes made recently to limiting connections to 1 and paywalling any more is ridiculous. Personally, I will be moving to another service.
V3 Made Me Uninstall
The new update has made it almost impossible to do any of the things I was using the app for, so I deleted it and now use the web browser with V2 exclusively. V3 is really ugly to look at and hard to navigate because it’s just a list with show covers. If I wanted just a list, I’d make a spreadsheet. I used this app multiple times per day and now it’s not even installed on my phone.
Update 7/26:
They forced everyone into V3 so I’ll be looking for alternatives. Can’t add individual episodes to lists anymore, can’t see what’s aired that’s not in my library, can’t use any relevant or functional filters. I canceled my VIP subscription because it made sense when the site/app had features but now it’s just EXPENSIVE hot garbage.
