### 4/5 — Glad this is still supported

*2026-07-27*

I’ve happily used Watcht for years, then heard the app was going to sunset. So relieved to see an update; hopefully, this will resolve the issue of custom list entries missing from the Trakt db. (I tried—repeatedly—to use the Trakt app, but it’s far less intuitive, plus you practically need a magnifying glass to read the small text.) Thanks for keeping Watcht alive!

### 5/5 — Best

*2026-07-16*

Спасибо, что не забываете актуализировать приложение!

### 5/5 — Great support

*2026-07-16, version 1.17.8*

A year of no update which is fine because it worked perfectly. The minute Trakt did their stupidness the developers updated this app to continue to work. 

Thanks guys. Was worried id have to use the official trakt app which sucks.

### 5/5 — Gold standard of Trakt apps for iOS

*2026-07-12*

Despite an official app from Trakt, this app remains the gold standard due to adhering to a more coherent set of iOS 7 design guidelines

### 5/5 — LOVE this app. Reporting new issue with missing watch history

*2026-07-09*

Hi, LOVE this app, best one out there for trakt. But up until a couple of weeks ago going into an episode you could see how many times you'd seen it and when, now that info is gone. Can that be looked into and fixed? The information is there in Trakt, just not showing up here.

### 3/5 — Something wrong with tracking

*2026-07-07*

This was my favourite app to track things I’ve watched. I’ve used it for years. In the last week I noticed my checkmarks on watched movies or shows aren’t showing up. When I go to add something I’ve watched, the check mark shows up on individual episodes or movies, but then disappears after a few mins. I’ve restarted the app, deleted and re downloaded it, I’ve cleared the cache, and logged out and back in but none of that has worked. I want to keep using this app because it’s the best in tracking, but this glitch has made it harder to use. Any assistance would be appreciated!

### 1/5 — watched now episode is delayed when you swipe right • show progress & badges not showing

*2026-04-28, version 1.17.6*

option to move search bar to bottom

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-01-17*

This is my new daily tracking app. It has everything you need

### 3/5 — Needs update

*2026-01-09, version 1.17.6*

Doesn’t seem to have kept up with the “Hide” feature being replaced by “Drop”. Must currently drop shows in Trakt as hide features no longer work.

### 4/5 — needs update

*2025-12-14, version 1.17.6*
