3rd party app becoming less desirable to use by the day

It’s becoming increasingly frustrating how long things take to load in an otherwise great 3rd party app. Is it Trakt’s intention to drown these apps out with time with all these recent changes? Why am I a VIP when things like this happen?

I deleted a bunch of my lists to see if that would help loading times, but it didn’t.

Trakt has nothing to do with third party apps, you’ll want to contact the app devs for support with those apps

Thanks for the clarification — I really appreciate your insights @otakunet21 and @terryapodaca.

I completely understand now that Trakt doesn’t control or manage third-party apps, and that any performance issues should be directed to those developers. My initial frustration came from a lack of transparency about where the bottlenecks might be, especially since everything connects back to Trakt’s API in some way. It’s helpful to know that Trakt provides the API as a service and leaves implementation up to those building on top of it.

As for being a VIP — fair question! I genuinely love what Trakt offers and have supported it for years. I use a third-party app mainly because I find it incredibly intuitive and well-designed, especially in how it follows iOS design guidelines. That ease of use really adds to the overall experience for me.

Thanks again for taking the time to explain — it really does help put things into context.

Just out of curiosity, what 3rd party apps are you using?

I use Ripple (https://ripppleapp.com).

Oh hey I use Rippple too. Are you on the official release or beta? The new beta update fixed the loading time issue.

I’m on the beta, really glad things are fixed now.
