### 4/5 — Tv/Movie Tracker

*2026-08-18, version 18.5.4.1*

Would give it 5 stars but 1 thing I’d personally would like. My ocd tendencies get messed up cause the notifications on the app icon do not disappear unless you watch every episode. Other than that great app for tv/movie tracking

### 5/5 — ADDITIONAL KUDOS

*2026-08-09, version 18.5.4.1*

Thanks for continuing updates. It’s not easy keeping up with IOS. As I have stated recently, your calendar and Unseen Episode Group really make keeping up with several streaming service’s series a breeze.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-08-08, version 18.5.4*

Does a good job at tracking my movies and shows.

### 5/5 — Love it.

*2026-08-01, version 18.5.2*

My go-to TV tracker. Stable for the most part and love the interface.

### 5/5 — Easy Navigation

*2026-07-31, version 18.5.2*

A shockingly simple yet interesting useful app. I paid for ad-free after a week just to support the developer. They’ve connecting to other services and showing you the best functionality faster & easier than those apps. The list of features that this impacts is too long to list but honestly this app is goated

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-07-31, version 18.5.2*

Does just what I want without all the social media rubbish getting in the way. Occasionally unresponsive, and crashed a few times when adding lots of programs initially, but once setup that’s not such a big problem. Thought all was lost after recent update when I accidentally used the wrong email address to login to Trakt, now that they unhelpfully auto-create an account no matter what address you use, but all was well once I got that fixed.

### 5/5 — Absolutely love this app! It just keeps getting better.

*2026-07-30, version 18.5.2*

I’ve used this app for several years now and it’s been my main tool for TV and movie tracking. I did use other apps for specific functions when I found them easier to use. Not any more. I now use this app exclusively.

The list management has come a long way. It’s now so easy to create and update lists. I use them extensively.

A recent major enhancement for me was all the additional info you can add to the main list items. It’s gone way beyond number of episodes remaining. We can now now see where it airs, status, and personal notes. I used to keep separate lists if what airs where, or had to frequently check with JustWatch. I mainly use personal notes now for additional airing information, for example where I can watch a show that airs in another country. Having personal notes  editable directly from the item is truly an advantage. The notes also sync across devices if you have a TRAKT VIP membership. That’s important to me as I use multiple devices regularly. Wanting to use lists more, along with the personal note syncing, were so valuable to me that I reinstated my VIP membership. 

Yes, I do watch a lot of TV. I’m disabled and have lots of time on my hands. This app simplifies so much, helps me remember what I’m watching now and what I want to see soon. Anything that simplifies any aspect of my life is welcome. The paid version of this app is well worth the money. Getting rid of ads, changing the color scheme, they make for a much more pleasant experience. And I’m happy to support a dev who constantly upgrades his app and brings so much ease and simplicity to my leisure time. Thank you Jonathan!

### 5/5 — Great app for tracking TV shows

*2026-07-27, version 18.5.2*

I’ve tried various apps to track TV shows and this is the best I’ve used so far. Links with Trakt and great user interface. I also had to email a query and received a speedy response. Recommended

### 5/5 — Very nice and helpful app to keep track of progress

*2026-07-27, version 18.5.2*

Great for anyone who is looking for this sort off app.

### 5/5 — Great app for tracking what your watching

### 5/5 — Great app

I was using TV showtime until recently, but this is absolute fantastic and learn what I should like next

Would give it 5 stars but 1 thing I’d personally would like. My ocd tendencies get messed up cause the notifications on the app icon do not disappear. Other than that great app for tv/movie tracking

### 5/5 — Fantastic app

*2026-07-24, version 18.5.2*

So time saving . Lost my shows last week as My television show tracker tvst would allow me to sign in . Was completely stumped as I totally rely on this app to show me what I have watched and programmes available . Keep up the good work .

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-07-24*

Good !

### 5/5 — UPDATE

*2026-07-24*

I am reaching out again to praise this app. To be honest, I also use another app along side this for different purposes. The other app has powerful features of filtering and organization of content. However, it has become bloated by those very features. It takes me a lot more time to do simple things like mark a watched episode, see what state a series is in (canceled etc.) or use a calendar of upcoming shows. Because they are both linked to my TRAKTV subscription they sync what I do between them. TVST is a very clean and straightforward design making it quick to navigate. I use it simultaneously with the other app, which may seem excessive, but having both actually saves me time in the long run. I find them equally valuable and I am very pleased with the updates to TVST which do not complicate it but only improve it.

**Developer response:** Hi,

Thanks for reaching out and reporting the issue.
I just wanted to let you know that the current version of TV Show Tracker on iOS is affected by a bug that prevents images from displaying. Fortunately, the rest of the app remains fully functional.

This issue is due to recent changes in the iOS platform. I’m actively investigating and working on a long-term fix.

That said, a major update in my development tools is also forcing me to rebuild a significant part of the app. It’s a big job — probably over 100 hours of work — and I currently don’t have a Mac of my own, so I’m borrowing my wife’s laptop (she’s very generous, but it’s not ideal for development speed).

I’m working on it during my limited free time, and I want to reassure you: I’m absolutely not abandoning the app, and I even plan to add new features in the future.

Thanks a lot for your understanding and continued support — it really keeps me going.

Best regards,
Jonathan
Developer of TV Show Tracker

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-07-23, version 18.5.2*

Very stable app and customizable. Love it!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Update

*2026-08-13, version 18.5.4.1*

After the update I can’t login and it deleted all of my shows and I paid for this app !!

### 1/5 — New Update (Terrible)

*2026-08-08, version 18.5.4*

Loved this app until the new update, can’t do dark mode anymore unless you pay for the app now. Before the new update this app was flawless! I might have to find a new app.

### 1/5 — Trakt

*2026-07-17, version 18.5.2*

Having to use the new trakt just ruined this whole experience.  This app now sucks and i have lost everything.

### 1/5 — Cooked

*2026-07-16, version 18.5.2*

Once again a new update killed this app…1 step forward two steps back on every update. Frustrating

### 1/5 — Loved until the last update

*2026-07-15, version 18.5.2*

This has been my go to app for tracking all the shows I watch and ones people recommend to me.  The update on 7/14 locked me out of my account and now I am really upset.  I will rate this app as 5 stars (again) if someone can help me fix this problem caused by the update. FYI…the app was great as it was so improving it through software updates rendered it broken and useless to me.  I am a paying customer too.  Please help !

### 1/5 — Sync failure

*2026-07-14, version 18.5.1*

Error syncing lists. I get constant error messages when loading the calendar

### 1/5 — Ugly UI and bad app👎🏻

*2026-06-09, version 18.3*

The developer received my email with detailed feedback, but there has been no reply and no visible improvement in the app. Since direct feedback is being ignored, I have to leave this review here.
The interface of this app feels extremely outdated. It is visually unpleasant, unintuitive, and inconvenient to use. Many basic actions feel more complicated than they should be.
Synchronization is one of the biggest problems. After opening the app, you have to watch the synchronization percentage slowly progress, and this can take 10 to 20 minutes even with a 200 Mbps connection. Other similar apps handle this process much faster and usually do it in the background without interrupting the user experience.
There is also no convenient way to tap a movie title and copy it to the clipboard. Many movies and TV shows have several official titles in different languages. If a title is written in characters that are not available on your keyboard, entering it manually becomes very inconvenient. Other apps in the App Store already solve this better: you tap the title, see official titles in different languages, copy the one you need, and paste it wherever necessary.
Swipe gestures, navigation, and general interaction are also poorly implemented. The app feels awkward and inconsistent in daily use.
For these reasons, I recommend looking at competing apps instead. If you want something convenient, pleasant, modern, and visually polished, this app is not the best choice.
If the developer wants to compete in this category, user feedback should be taken seriously. Ignoring direct feedback, not responding to users, and leaving basic usability issues unresolved is not a good approach in a competitive market. Users have alternatives, and many of those alternatives provide a better experience.

El desarrollador recibió mi correo electrónico con comentarios detallados, pero no hubo respuesta ni mejoras visibles en la aplicación. Como se ignora la comunicación directa, tengo que dejar esta reseña aquí.
La interfaz de esta aplicación parece extremadamente anticuada. Es visualmente poco agradable, nada intuitiva e incómoda de usar. Muchas acciones básicas resultan más complicadas de lo que deberían.
La sincronización es uno de los mayores problemas. Después de abrir la aplicación, hay que mirar cómo avanza lentamente el porcentaje de sincronización, y esto puede tardar entre 10 y 20 minutos incluso con una conexión de 200 Mbps. Otras aplicaciones similares realizan este proceso mucho más rápido y normalmente lo hacen en segundo plano sin interrumpir la experiencia del usuario.
Tampoco hay una forma cómoda de tocar el título de una película y copiarlo al portapapeles. Muchas películas y series tienen varios títulos oficiales en distintos idiomas. Si un título está escrito en caracteres que no están disponibles en tu teclado, introducirlo manualmente se vuelve muy incómodo. Otras aplicaciones en la App Store ya resuelven esto mejor: tocas el título, ves los títulos oficiales en diferentes idiomas, copias el que necesitas y lo pegas donde corresponda.
Los gestos de deslizamiento, la navegación y la interacción general también están mal implementados. La aplicación se siente incómoda e inconsistente en el uso diario.
Por estas razones, recomiendo buscar aplicaciones de la competencia. Si quieres algo cómodo, agradable, moderno y visualmente cuidado, esta aplicación no es la mejor opción.
Si el desarrollador quiere competir en esta categoría, debería tomarse en serio los comentarios de los usuarios. Ignorar los comentarios directos, no responder a los usuarios y dejar sin resolver problemas básicos de usabilidad no es un buen enfoque en un mercado competitivo. Los usuarios tienen alternativas, y muchas de ellas ofrecen una mejor experiencia.

### 1/5 — Terrible App

*2026-04-26, version 18.0.1*

Doesn’t load anything and on the off occasion it works, there is no way to sync with SIMKL.

### 1/5 — Cooked

*2026-04-15, version 18.0.1*

### 5/5 — Definitely worth a try.

*2026-08-30, version 18.6.0*

Didn't like the initial GUI, but after 2-3 days I became familiar with it and now use it on a daily basis. What I find best about this app over others is that it's powered by Trakt which links to other apps.

### 5/5 — WOW!

*2026-08-25, version 18.6.0*

The new update is brimming with new additions. To be honest, I will not use them all. But I do like being able to resize the thumbnails. Thanks for continually improving the app. Again, your calendar and Unseen Episode Group really make keeping up with several streaming service’s series a breeze.

### 5/5 — Perfect for tv tracking

*2026-08-25, version 18.6.0*

Been using this for years thru my Trakt account. It’s the easy way to do this.

### 5/5 — Favorite App

*2026-08-25, version 18.5.4.1*

Makes following your favorite shows so easy. The database of shows is amazing. Customizable lists make finding your shows and episodes the way you want.

### 5/5 — Top app

*2026-08-23, version 18.6.0*

Very good

### 5/5 — Keep track of all your movies and shows

*2026-08-18, version 18.5.4.1*

This is an incredible all in one app for shows, movies, and release schedules. It’s a game changer for me.

### 5/5 — Le plus complet

*2026-08-17*

J’ai testé plusieurs appli de ce genre et celle-ci est la plus complète.

### 5/5 — Pratique

*2026-08-16*

J’utilisais TV Time j ai pu récupérer la base de données et je peux suivre ce que je visionne 
😉🫶

### 5/5 — Great app

Great as always
