Do you mean add them as your favorite streaming services or add them for automatic scrobble?
Both will be available before the official release but I want to make sure we have the best experience for them; so if you have feedback on this, please let us know.
No ETA but itâs been asked a few times so itâs high on our lists. Weâre currently tackling some navigation issues with the new UI and weâll get back to getting old feature in soon.
Thanks for your feedback!
Hi, about the new app, I have some questions/suggestions:
Will these stats (image 2) be available on the profile page? The old app displays them in the home section, but theyâre currently missing from the new app. Currently, the new app displays the âMonth in Reviewâ (which isnât workingâat least for me, as you can see in the attached image showing 0 things watched during a period when I watched a bunch of stuff) at the top of the profile page. It would be nice if this was replaced or integrated with the last 30 days/all-time watched stats section.
I previously asked to add an âAMOLED Blackâ option, but more importantly, the app needs a light mode and the ability to auto-switch between light and dark mode according to user preference.
The old website has an option in settings to display the season art cover instead of the show art cover in the âContinue Watchingâ section. The old app is missing this option, so it would be nice to have it added in a future update (alongside the settings page, of course).
When you click to go to an episode page of a show, it displays the show art cover occupying half the screen. Instead, I think the better design choice would be to display the episode thumbnail highlighted at the top of the page, just like it is on the old website and app.
Another thing about episode pages is that the arrows in the âclassicâ appâwhich let you quickly go to the previous or next episodeâare currently missing.
The calendar definitely needs to be available in the new app, and also an option to switch between a âlistâ or âgridâ view of the calendar.
The lists on the new app currently only show movies and are also missing an option to sort from newest to oldest (and other sort options available on the website) and filters. It is also missing the date when the item (movies/shows) was added to the list.
Clicking on the three dots of any item on a list gives me a message that says: âUh oh⌠this wasnât planned. If this keeps happening, please contact Trakt Support.â
The upcoming schedule calendar section should be above the watchlist section on the home page, as it is on the old website.
I know neither the website nor the old app are available in other languages, but I think itâs time to offer language options (PT-BR, Spanish, French) other than exclusively English, including a preference to âChange the names of shows and movies to your language or keep the original (English) ones.â
Hopefully, all settings options from the old app will be available on the new one, including the one that lets you reorder and add/remove new tabs on the bottom bar, that was really nice.
Re-reading the official announcement, this request is already on the plans. It is possible that we will be able to help localize with Crowdin? That would speed up the process, and I would love helping with the translation for my language.
I understand your concerns about the rating system, but give the new app some time. Just use the old app until the new one is finalized, I think theyâre far from done with developing the new version and I also think they know that.
A quick comment on the 5 stars system. Itâs still the full 10-scale system just packed into more compact UI that will enable us to do some more cool things later.
You can still rate 1-10 and see 1-10 ratings (10 being 5 stars and 9 being 4.5 stars and so on).
If you rate something 4 stars you can tap the 4th star again to fine tune it into half (we are currently brainstorming on how to make this more discoverable and easier to use - like with simple drag gesture etc.)
When clicking over a star it should first mark as âhalf starâ so its easier for people to realize itâs a 10 star system. If Iâm not mistaken right now it marks as a âfull starâ when you first click it.
Can you please open a new topic with your question and why you think hearts should be used for rating and stars for favorites, how it impacts your use case? Thanks!
We take all feedback into account, no matter if VIP or not, in our Product/Design/Business/Tech decisions processes. And again, taking âinto accountâ doesnât mean jumping on every bandwagon. We canât do everything everyone is asking for, it would 1) be impossible and 2) end up with a product that doesnât work for anyone.
This is just not the right topic (the first question Mike was answering) or place (making assumptions and judging our decision process) to discuss this.
