I’m with you in almost every way, @CanePlayz. Just wanted to point out that you have confused what vertical and horizontal are. :slight_smile:

I was just terrified to see the app version of the web page show up.. glad I could at least still for now move back to www prefix to fix it and go back to the old layout.

This has probably been mentioned, but the fact that this new version doesn’t show the exact time and date I watched something makes the website feel nearly useless to me? The big appeal was being able to go back and realize when I watched something, not that I’d watched it. Even if I hover over in my history it didn’t seem to show a tooltip? Am I missing something?

Edit: I see if I go to my history page I can scroll through there to see a date of something, but nothing on the page for the episode/movie itself shows the date or time. I could maybe, maybe deal with the day only.. but I really liked having the time info too. Please make sure this info is still on the page for items.

Please make the icons of everything larger again, or at least allow users to customize their size or something. I’m on a PC. I shouldn’t have to be seeing icons small as if its trying to optimize for a mobile screen. I don’t need to see 36 movies on one page of icons when I’m trying to find what to watch next, where I need to lean in close to my monitor to see what they are.

Please bring back the movie name being under the icon, don’t force me to have to read the name of the movie on the icon which takes longer to visually process what its saying. When I’m quickly scrolling through, its much easier to read when its in a consistent font, color, and position.

In other news, please don’t fix what isn’t broken. I absolutely hate when UI redesigns are done for no reason. The old UI was fine. This new UI has me borderline wanting to no longer use Trakt and search for an alternative instead.

Oh my days, what a relief! The app design is really not it. OP’s pretty right. No need to fix what isn’t broken. The old one is/was great. It feels like the loss of the old recommendation engine all over again :frowning:

A little late to the party, but I accidentally switched to the new UI and couldn’t even find the profile settings. I reverted to the old UI by removing the ā€œappā€ subdomain, but the experience was so jarring that I felt I needed to give feedback.

On PC, the new UI is a huge step back. The only improvements are the addition of galleries with scrollbars for the dashboard sections (Watchlist, Continue Watching, etc.) and the fact that these sections are collapsible. Apart from that, the smaller icons, fonts, and posters; the new icon-only menus; and the replacement of show covers with stills from episodes in ā€œContinue Watchingā€ all contribute to a worse experience than before.

If I tap into an actor’s profile page, I liked seeing the role/name for each show/movie. I also would prefer to see the count of episodes that the actor was in vs the total count of episodes in the show.

Less importantly to me, when I use the iOS beta on an iPad in landscape mode, the large pictures take nearly all of the screen and I can’t get to detail without scrolling. This is kind of nice looking but for my preferences, it’s a step back from a usability standpoint.

Typical Trakt, fixing shit that doesn’t need to be fixed. I personally hate the new UI and the new comments section and the new dashboard and pretty much everything Trakt does these days. I don’t even know why I use it anymore since they limited the amount of shit you can pull into radarr from your lists. I mainly used trakt so I could pull my collection when rebuilding the server but they made that useless, thanks by the way devs, REALLY great move there…. Id pay 5 bucks a year just to be able to pull my dam list again without any limits but you don’t have that as an option.

I think 2026 will be the year I finally delete my trakt account and just move to IMDB. Sad, I used to love Trakt but thats what you get when you have a shitty management team that does what they want with no regard to their user base.

I’m gonna make another suggestion, @kcador hopefully you can discuss it with the team.

Currently shows with a lot of seasons (like soap operas for example) on the New Trakt are missing cover art on the seasons that have no cover art uploaded on TMDB.

The way Trakt Classic handles that situation is much more visually pleasing - the seasons that do not have specific cover art adopt the shows titular cover art, which makes it a much more appealing sight visually and also makes the shows page feel less empty.

I don’t understand why ratings basically disappear from the site in the new design - half of the reason I use Trakt is for the rating system.

If I don’t have access to ratings when seeing a card for a show or episode or film or season, it instantly removes the ability for me to use the site to discover content or decide what to watch. I also can’t figure out how to rate individual episodes or seasons either, and a 5-star scale sounds like torture to me.

Why a 3-dot menu opens a side panel; that is obviously stupid ux, unless doing marathons with the mouse is the goal here. (click gif to play)

Also the ā€œfilteringā€ does not work at all across the website. anywhere.

They should be a normal pop-up (screenshot from a reply above) – ignoring how bright and out of place the white bg is, at least it’s a proper pop-up.

I don’t want to touch the new track web page with a 10-ft pole… But then again I don’t even like all the latest versions of year in review either.

I don’t like the Trakt app, so I don’t want an app like website.

  • It took me a long time to find an app that I do like of the options available.
  • Currently have 2 apps that I may use depending on what I want to do (SeriesGuide and Showly if someone wants to check them out.)

I like some of the ideas of the New Website, but still Don’t want to touch it.

Have you tried logging out then back into the app?

I hadn’t thought of that. Thank you, that helped.

It helped me for all of 1 day. Next day same thing and continues to happen still. I’ve given up logging out and back in as it doesn’t last so just hit the ? to recycle.

Obviously there is something wrong but there does not seem a will to look into it.

I’m sure they’ll look into it. But first, they’ve suggested an easy fix, and it worked. Now that they know it’s not working permanently, they’ll take a closer look.
