How do you scroll lists left and right on a pc? Theres no left or right arrows, you canāt drag it left and right and scroll wheel doesnāt do anything either!
I would give feedback for this āNew Traktā but I unfortunately donāt have the hours to spare in order to type out all the things I hate about it and how much is missing from the previous design.
All Iāll say is, as a 10+ year VIP who has still stuck with you guys through the doubled price increase, if you ever get rid of Trakt Classic, Iām DONE.
WTF is this minimalistic POS? Are you serious? This is the new Trakt, and the classic is DEAD?
Are you hellbent on destroying literally everything that made Tratkt good? If you arenāt the most anti-consumer service right now, I canāt imagine how bad others must be.
If I wanted to use an app made for children who have never used an actual PC browser with mouse and keyboard, I wouldnāt be paying you a subscription.
Not even gonna try to explain why literally everything about it is awful. I hate infinite scroll mode over pagination SOOOOOOOOOO much. And now I canāt order my lists by release like I did literally 4 days ago?
Nah man, I already canceled my VIP subscription before posting this. GTFO with this bs.
The scroll bar isnāt appearing when I hover over the bottom of the row either
to help with anyone not seeing the scroll bar. hold shift over the row you want to navigate then you can use your scroll wheel to scroll horizontally. this works nearly anywhere in any application btw.
Is that ideal, no. Iām just trying to help
I need the progress page VERTICAL. The way it is in the classic page, itās perfect!
I saw this announcement on Sunday and it instantly ruined my mood. First you piss away many of the OG trakt users with the VIP changes, and now you want to bury the usability of the site for good to make this just another āappāā¦
Good to see that many people are voicing their very fair criticisms of Lite at last. Personally I did that twice before months ago and to no surprise things are not much better or fixed The why & what - #8 by sp1ti - starting with almost crashing my browser when visiting a movie⦠unstable and barely unusable product. great job!
Lets stop writing AI summaries about how great it is and try actually using the thing first.
Seeing as communication stopped on this new & fresh announcement Iām gonna go doom some more.
Iāll leave you with a quote from your own dev about the readiness of this one:
I have found the invisible scroll bar now as well. But after trying the shift-scrolling as mentioned by @otakunet21 , which by the way was extremely jittery for me, the scroll bar disappeared and only reappeared after refreshing the page.
Hey everyone ![]()
Thank you to all of you who took the time to share feedback. We have read through this full thread (and more) and want to reflect back on what we heard and how we are acting on it.
What we heard
Here are the main themes that came through clearly:
- The New Trakt should not feel like a step back from Classic.
Some of the core things many of you do every day feel more limited today and you want to keep the clarity and efficiency you had in Classic. - The desktop experience needs more attention.
Horizontal scrolling is causing friction and does not match how many of you browse, manage or track your shows and movies on desktop. - The new experience needs to support more workflows.
It must remain easy to track progress, review history, organize what to watch, rate meaningfully, sort and filter, plan ahead and understand your viewing habits.
What we are focusing on next
Your feedback is directly shaping our priorities. Here is where we are putting our focus over the next couple of months:
Support and improve core workflows
We are not just copying Classic as it is. The new experience will continue to evolve to support the core things you do in Trakt every day, including:
- Tracking what you watched and what is next
- Reviewing and editing your history
- Organizing what you plan to watch and your library
- Rating with the level of detail and meaning you expect
- Sorting and filtering to find the right content fast
- Seeing what is coming up in a way that works for you
- Understanding your profile, stats and habits at a deeper level
These workflows will return stronger, not disappear.
Improving the desktop browsing experience
We hear the feedback about navigation. We are exploring improvements and options to make desktop use more intuitive and comfortable. Our aim is to deliver meaningful improvements within the same timeframe as the workflow updates above.
We know some of you are worried and frustrated. We take this seriously. Our goal is not to change what makes Trakt special. Our goal is to build on it so Trakt continues to serve you well for many years to come. And we want to make this transition with you, not to you.
A Quick Note on Community Guidelines
Before sharing more context about the strategy and the data behind it, we want to make sure this discussion remains helpful and welcoming for everyone taking part.
Most feedback in this thread has been respectful, thoughtful and constructive, and we appreciate it. A small part, however, crossed the lines we set for this community. To keep the forum supportive, focused and inclusive, please take a moment to review the Trakt Forum Guidelines.
A few key reminders:
- Respect, kindness and inclusion are non-negotiable. We welcome all feedback but personal attacks or hostile language do not help anyone.
- Promoting other services is not allowed here. This forum is for Trakt and its ecosystem.
- Staying on topic helps us understand your feedback and act on it faster.
We absolutely welcome strong opinions and critical feedback. It helps us improve. We only ask that it stays respectful, focused and within the guidelines so everyone feels comfortable contributing.
Additional Context
Some of you asked for more context about why we are evolving Trakt and how the new experience fits into the long term vision.
Here are a few useful facts first:
- Trakt Classic has been around for more than 10 years, with most of its history focused on the desktop web.
- The new web experience has been in development for about 1 year, with a broader focus than desktop alone.
- About 50% of new Trakt accounts are created on the website and the other ~50% come from third-party apps.
- Currently, more than 1000 new users are onboarded through the new experience on a daily basis!
- All the metrics we are following are going in the right direction. For instance, our Monthly Active Users increased by 20% over last year.
Trakt has grown beyond a single website. It is a platform across web, mobile, TV and a large ecosystem of third party apps and integrations. The new experience is designed to support that future. A more modern and consistent foundation, both from a technical and a design point of view, helps us improve faster across the board, not just desktop.
We also hear long time users who use Trakt heavily on desktop. Your workflows matter! The new experience has gaps for you today. Given the size of the rebuild, the size of our team and the timeline we are on, this is expected.
We will not remove what you rely on without ensuring the new experience can meet your needs, and ideally improve them.
Thank you for caring this much
Feedback like yours is what has shaped Trakt for more than a decade. We know some of you are frustrated and we take it seriously. Our goal isnāt to change what Trakt is. Itās to strengthen the foundation so we can continue improving it for years to come, without losing what makes Trakt special.
Weāll follow up soon with updated versions of our beta on iOS and Android and updates to the new web experience, including progress in all the areas you mentioned.
Thank you again for the passion and the time youāve invested in your feedback.
Keep it coming!
The Trakt Team
With respect, it does not seem that way. The new web experience is absolutely ābarebonesā at the moment. I understand that you are building from the ground up, but isnāt it far too early to push this out as a beta?
It looks and feels like it has only been worked on a few days rather than a full year, unless of course, there are a lot more backend changes that we are not aware of and would be invisible to an end user? Iām asking out of genuine curiosity. ![]()
why not just leave the perfectly fine desktop version alone and just limit this new one to the fisher-price tablet users or whoever it is youāre trying to cater to
In addition to the total number of series in the lists disappearing, the link to TMDB is also missing, as it no longer exists in the new version.
I will not promote any competing service, but I will say this: If 12-18 months from now, any hardcore Trakt VIP user isnāt vibe coding their own web app, but using the API of your data source directly (free for non-commercial use, by the way) instead of Traktās API, I will be very, very surprised.
Iād say you have a few months to convince us not to open the floodgates of literally hundreds/thousands of Trakt clones that donāt pay a VIP subscription.
Good luck!
Vibe coding
If only I knew how to do this I would be starting it now because you can see from the admin comments that they are āhearingā what we are saying but from those comments appear to be going to totally ignore us.
Web Trakt WORKS, LEAVE IT ALONE

Thatās why I said 12-18 months.
Are you talking about the Android beta or the web version? It is unclear, sorry. It matters because my answer will be different. The Android beta is far less advanced than the web version and we wanted to give users an early look at it.
Maybe thereās something between a few days and a full year
It also depends what you are looking at: web or Android beta 1. They come from a different state of development and started at different times.
We are also working on backend, database, infrastructure, other integrations, better data imports, data clean-up, performance,⦠yes!
I only use web and iOS. Iāve not even mentioned Android in any of my posts. I did, however, intimate that I have an iPhone and iPad earlier in the thread, but I guess that was easy to miss. lol.
So, I was talking about the web version. It just seems so primitive at the moment. I like simplicity, but it is just simple at the moment.
This is exactly what we are doing here, today.
They were under āNice to Haveā or āUnder Considerationā tabs. We are currently focusing on the above. They will be back, in time. No feedback/votes has been lost.
I donāt think, no.
