    It was a very good tracker before the v3 and the horrible UI while striping down many features and walking away from the community side. All this while making the VIP overpriced in the process, what a waste and let's not even mention when they corrupted their entire database and took weeks to fix it.

Comments and Reviews

   
Comment summary: Trakt.tv earns praise for its intuitive interface, efficient tracking of movies and TV shows, and a rich set of features, including third-party integrations and data aggregation. Several users highlight the platform's value for enthusiasts and its widespread compatibility. However, recent comments criticize increased paywalls, a restrictive 100-item watchlist limit, UI decline, and negative changes in community support and moderation. Concerns about price hikes and loss of user trust are notable.

Great site, but, really, 100 items limit for watchlist? Just no. Not recommend anymore.

Although it wasn’t open source, the service it offere is almost on a par with TVTime – and was still quite comprehensive without being overcomplicated. Tracking what you’d watched or re-watched was easy (unlike on Trakt), and the statistics were presented rather well before their last major update and visual overhaul. I’m surprised there isn’t an open-source equivalent, as there is for books with the Internet Archive’s OpenLibrary. I’m finding it very difficult to understand how to record whether you’ve watched or re-watched a programme: for the first viewing, OK, you click on that ✅; if you’ve watched it at another time, you have to click as if you’re inserting it between two other programmes, AND only then can you change the date.

Huge downvote for the new V3. 2 months without support for my browser, missing features. It forced me to selfhost by Yamtrack.

The UI is getting worse and worse. Captchas everywhere, forced logins...

Still provides most of the basic functionality to users for free but has been going down the road of enshittification. Increasing prices by 100%, locking core features behind paywall, and not listening to the community feedback. This has lead to poor design and business choices.

If you are willing to pay above what the app is worth then it will do what you expect. However, be ready for further price changes, feature changes, and, with how the app is being managed, for it to shut down.

What is Trakt.tv?

Trakt helps you keep a record of what TV shows and movies you are watching. Based on your favorites, trakt recommends additional shows and movies you'll enjoy!

There is an official API available which is already used by 3rd party developers to offer native Apps on Android and iOS.

Trakt.tv is a platform that does many things, but primarily keeps track of TV shows and movies you watch. It integrates with your media center or home theater PC to enable scrobbling, so everything is automatic. Some people like to check in from their phone, so we enable that too. Discover new shows and movies, follow people with similar tastes and voice your opinion.

The Trakt.tv API powers hundreds of apps on all the popular platforms like Kodi, Plex, MediaPortal, VLC, iOS, Android, Apple TV, Apple Watch, and more. The API is free to use, so start experimenting!
