Watcht for Trakt 4+

Does almost everything I need.

This app is really great. It helps me keep track of the shows I am watching and the list function is great. I’m currently using the custom list feature to keep track of what streaming services my shows and movies are available on. That does bring me to one feature this app lacks that I wish it had because it would stop me having to open a different app for it alongside Watcht. It would be great if this app could display on what services things could be streamed from.

Great app; just some problems

This app is great. I use it to keep track of my movies and shows. I love how it shows how much time you’ve spent in total on watching stuff, as well as your favorite genre of movies. It tells you the ratings of the movies, who stars in them, shows you the trailer, a summarized description of the movie. It also tells you details about actors/actresses and what movies they came out in.
The only thing I’d like them to add or improve is being able to save movie or show lists. Sometimes I see a list and think, “wow it’s great,” but I have no means of saving or liking it on the app. It would also be nice to be able to search by actors/actresses. There’s moments where I’ll type in parts of movie, not really remembering the title, and nothing will pop up unless it’s word for word. A little nuisance but no big deal.
Overall great app I love it!

Hi sofiaisc00l, thanks for the great review!

Just wanted to let you know that v1.12 added support for liking Lists, as well as search for People (actors/actresses)! Unfortunately the search still has some matching issues based on what you enter, though hopefully the Trakt API might get some improvements in the near future to help that!

Thanks,
Tyson

Best TV Show and Movie Tracking App!

I cannot believe it took so long for a great, useful tracking app to come out in the App Store. Such a novel idea, but while many other similar apps failed to execute a user-friendly app, Watcht absolutely crushed it! This app is amazing. I can’t say enough good things about it. It’s great that it syncs with my Trakt account as well. The developers are great at listening to their app users, too. Last time I rated this app, I made a couple of suggestions and they added them and also guided me through whatever features that they already had that I didn’t realize how to use. I use this app almost daily!

One additional suggestion: Would it be possible to add Rotten Tomato ratings?

Hey again graceyyy, thanks again for the awesome review.

You likely already know, but Version 1.9 added Rotten Tomatoes Ratings!

Thanks,

Hey again graceyyy, thanks for the awesome follow up review!

As for your Rotten tomatoes suggestion, it’s on my list to support at some point, but unsure when just yet!

Thanks,

Hey graceyyy, first of all, thanks for the great review! Second, thank you for the suggestions.

I’m sure you’ve already found out, but v1.4 included notifications for Calendar Episodes, and v1.5 has improved the information slightly!
I assume that by Watch List you’re talking about your “Up next to watch” section on the Dashboard. If so, you can tap hold on shows there for an option to hide it. You can hide specific seasons via the Show Progress screen (tap See all in that same section) and tap hold those for hide options.
You can sort that list via the more button (•••) in the same section mentioned above.
For seeing which episodes are watched more easily, I’d love to improve that at some point if you’d be happy to send me some additional info (screenshots etc) of where you’re talking about.

Finally, check out the Guide, via the Profile Tab > Settings > Watcht Guide, for more info on the above and feel free to send anything through to watchtapp@gmail.com, as it’ll be easier to manage your suggestions there!

Thanks again,
Tyson
