I need the Progress tab back. I used to use it all the time for sorting my show, usually by time left, but also by many other criteria depending on my needs at that moment. Now itās all gone. Thereās only history, which doesnāt allow to filter out individual episodes anymore (I used to use the āshowsā view all the time), and Continue watching, which is not sortable in any way. Unfortunately I still havenāt found an app that fully replaces Trakt (what it used to have anyway), but Iām migrating to Showly for now (sadly mobile only and a forced dark mode). If anyone has any better recommendations, please let me know.

Thatās true, but it has more features. Unfortunately I havenāt found anything better yet, if I do, Iāll switch. But Iām truly okay with continuing supporting Trakt (as a free user though), if they improve again (which I highly, highly doubt, but hope dies last). Thatās why I posted it, making it known what feature I miss, in case the devs are actually interested in fixing anything.

Hi Kevin
What I could really use at the moment since I must now use the new layout is a how to guide on how to use the core features that I used previously e.g. how do I rate an episode or film, thereās only the option to remove the watched thing when I click the three dots on that item in my history. Also, āwhere is my historyā was a question I spend a long time trying to figure out after I had marked something in the Continue Watching section as watched.
Definitely a how to guide on how to use the basic features of Trakt in the new layout would be so useful - despite having used computers for about 25 years at this point and having a degree in software engineering, Iām not finding it very intuitive 
but as with any new software, Iām willing to read a manual to learn to use it!

Hi, can you please add tooltips to all the icons/buttons ? we canāt tell what is the action of a button unless you click on it or inspect the HTML code.
I think the only buttons with tooltips are on the left side bar (seach, home ā¦)

how to see another seasons and episodes? where is tmdb link? imdb link? v3 is so worse. just delete it from server
One of the features that we had that I would greatly appreciate it if we could have it again, itās the percentage. Being able organise the shows by duration, popularity, or number of episodes left, is something Iām also missing hugely. With this feature we can organize the shows or rearrange them and be able to finish the series that we have almost finished. I actually enjoy the new version and the clean and modern look, but those 2 features mainly, the percentage and being able to arrange the shows weāre watching is something that for me itās a must and super super useful

Trakt Web: Settings You can export raw data from here, everything. But json format not csv. In V2 i donāt see the exporting either, i remember like it was under Advanced tho

Since this comment seems to be the last time you commented publicly on V3 ā¦
Now that V3 is being forced upon non-VIP users, with no option to use the functional V2 interface. If you look at V3 and how it works currently, are you proud of this as a successor to the V2 interface you designed?
This comment says AI isnāt involved in coding, but the publicly available code for the new interface includes AI instructions .. any comment?

Showly is a good option and way better than the Trakt app. Who can also try SeriesGuide. I tend to use both phone apps for different things and both connect to Trakt.
I am able to install both apps onto my laptop, but they both work better on my phone though.

I usually use the export symbol on the V2 history pageā¦ usually the last symbol at the top I think.
- Just make sure to break it down and export only a certain date range at a time. If itās too large an export, then it might crash
He wonāt comment, none of them will. They donāt really care about user feedback anymore. This new āTrakt V3ā is literally āTrakt Liteā from two years ago. Since then, they barely added anything to make it better despite tons of feedback here and on Github, it took them 2 years to realize that maybe, MAYBE they should add persistent sorting to personal lists. And yet, for some unknown reason, they decided to push and force users to use it when they clearly know it was not ready, it is still not ready, and it wonāt be nearly close to feature parity six months from now.
This new website is objectively vibe-coded with Gemini, and they know we can check that. It not only has all the visual traits of a generic UI made with AI, but it also features worse performance and way worse UX.
Thereās absolutely no reason to push for this, no reason to just let their users keep using V2. They can limit free users however much they want, with item limits, history limits, or whatever, but they know that Trakt is right now a trainwreck whose only destination is shutdown.
And it wonāt matter, because Trakt has such a small footprint on the internet that no one will notice it beside us, a few hundred loyal users. If Letterboxd did something like this, you would be seeing big artists and posts on social media with +100k likes protesting against changes, but here? We are just screaming at a void.

This new layout is awful. Normally Iām fine with layout changes. I didnāt even complain when Windows 8 launched. But this is objectively bad. Thereās no logical defense for the UI or UX decisions.
Like Windows 8, it feels like it was designed for a tablet rather than how people actually use it. Unfortunate.
If I had the time, Iād just build my own platform with the core features I care about, mainly tracking the shows I watch, since thatās all I use it for anyway. Perhaps itās time to switch, Iāve seen Letterboxd and a few others mentioned.

The new layout is terrible!!! Itās all compact, no space so everything looks jumbled together and thereās no difference between seen, suggested etc.
I find it hard to see the shows as the icons are all small so thereās lots of them squashed together.
Took a long time to find the horizontal scrolling option left to right and itās useless as everything is still just jumbled and squashed together.
Preferred the vertical scrolling and upcoming episodes on my dashboard. I donāt care about the episodes/shows Iāve already seen, thatās history.
I miss the calendar, it wasnāt great but I could at least see what shows Iād missed and when my shows were airing new seasons.
Now when I see upcoming episodes, thereās no aired date.
Seriously, create a survey of your users BEFORE you update the wesite because now itās completely useless.
Have you seen the number of people who want to bring back the old version??

I see no sign of reaction from official staff to the negative feedback. I have switched now to another service which has the core tracking features I care about with an UI I can work with.
Forcing the V3 UI on the Trakt website after already knowing about user feedback.. I have no words for that

Iāve started vibe coding my own frontend for the Trakt API. To be honest, itās going better than I expected, and Iāll probably keep iterating and use it instead of the official websiteā¦
