This is my biggest frustration with Trakt but the new interface has made this insufferable. The fact that tapping the watch button on something you’ve already watched whether it be mobile/desktop immediately defaults to “Remove All Plays”.
I know this was how it worked in the old interface too, but at least the button to add an additional play was a nested button right there on desktop and the mobile app opened a pop-up menu with all the options to pick from.
From a UX perspective, it bothers me because intuitively the Track button is the most important element in the app – Its the primary function for this service – and when you watch something its intuitively what you’re supposed to tap.
But when re-watching something, this design works against you because you will likely will go to tap the button out of habit then you might catch yourself but you also might tap it by mistake then need to back out and go to the other menu anyway. Worst-case you aren’t paying attention and accidentally delete your prev. plays by mistake.
Furthermore, I don’t understand the logic of having “Remove All Plays” being a function that needs such immediate/quick access as being tied to the primary action button of the app.
This is such a consequential function that is completely opposite to the usual behavior of the button (logging watches). Why isn’t this an option that’s separated in a sub menu like other mass history operations/settings changes? Is there a major subset of Trakt users that need to frequently/immediately delete huge swaths of their history with one button push?
It just confuses/frustrates me and I feel like this one change would alleviate a lot of my frustration with the new design and also be in-line with the mission of the new UI making Trakt more streamlined/user-friendly.
TL;DR: Its weird/counter-intuitive that “Remove All Plays” is the default action tied to the same button as logging watches on previously watched items and presents a major risk of deleting watches by accident/mistake. It’d be much better to move this to another menu and make the default option being logging an additional play at current time or bringing back the pop up menu with multiple options like in the old interface.
