Yet another developer rolling out a half baked app.
I could not add anything to any list other than the watch list for the first day.
I canât click into a movie or series and see my watch history. I have to either scroll through the decade of watch history or go onto the website defeating the purpose of the app.
Something as basic a rating is held off the initial launch, which forces me to head to the website or exit the beta group to rate something at the moment.
This might be a fresh design but itâs a dated one. The app still looks cluttered. Horizantal scrolling is the vein of my internet existence and it pains me that you are just rolling it out.
I like covers and you have now taking the focus away to provide me with a mostly blank box. This is what I call a waste of space. And no I donât want to have more information there. I prefer the older layout with the rating, watching, list, and collected without having to go into the movie or show.
Canât click on a 3 dot menu on a item as the menu crashes and says uh oh⊠this wasnât planned from within my list.
Want to share your collecting with a friend while in person who does not want to use this service? Nah go on the website to do that.
All the customization were removed and should be brought back. I donât care for what you think I should have as my main menu options. We all use the app differently.
List are no longer in the order I set them up to be.
The only use I can see for this current beta is to find something to watch that are not released or a popular. Something I can do for free anywhere.
All this sounds fair and reasonable enough. And it would be something to look forward to.
The only problem is trust. Trakt in general has destroyed so much trust and confidence in the past year, I simply canât see how I should blindly believe the promise that existing essential features wonât be substantially downgraded. Or even completely vanish.
After all we must loudly protest to see even the most basic standards upheld, like that rating should use a x/10 system and not x/5 or even a thumbs up or down system.
If something so basic is in jeopardy, why and how should I be certain that you understand and respect even more complex and essential features and designs?
The last app had its use despite being an immense downgrade in functionality, compared to the desktop experience. Itâs simply unexplainable to me why you guys chose to replace that less functional app, by this lite version that it is even less functional in every aspect. The immediate impression is that Trakt apps are only about one thing: Constant feature erosion.
It was so so so unwise to enforce this barebone project onto everyone. People are right when they classify the lite app as pre beta. It might be stable but to me itâs not more useful than a UI projection.
In the settings on the new web experience, you can change the language of the UI to French. This will also change the language of the media metadata.
If what you are looking for is something else (like the UI in English and titles/summaries in French, or everything in English except for French original titles,âŠ), let me know!
This is not what I said. Iâm using Rippple for my day-to-day personal usage. I fallback to Trakt on the web when I need to do something I canât with Rippple. This currently means using Classic.
Iâm also using a lot of other third-party apps and integrations.
Now, to do my work properly, Iâm currently using the new experience on my iPhone, iPad, Android (test) phone and Mac. And as I said, Iâm switching between Classic and New all the time depending on what I want to do.
I am not a big TV user. This is the only thing you could say Iâm not using.
This is not a yes or no question at this time. A real politician would tell you âyesâ or ânoâ to get your vote, Iâm not going to do that.
Removed from the roadmap but isnât lost. Itâs also not saying we are abandoning the idea. We are just showing the current focus in the public roadmap. You can still request features and get votes for them.
Bug reports and feature requests are not treated the same way.
Iâll do better because your first question was âWhy does this support this change?â â currently Day 1 retention for new users is double what it is on Classic.
Iâm pointing out that saying âas a resultâ implies a direct consequence when, in fact, it is a result of what we are doing.
I donât believe we disregarded them. We released early versions before those workflows were fully supported. Weâre acknowledging the gaps and are actively bringing those workflows back, not ignoring them.
Forcing is a strong word.
We did that for a while actually, there is a switch in Classic to get to the New experience. It has just recently been renamed from LITE to New.
Both!
Something we are also going to work on.
How can you say that for sure?
So maybe for those workflow we will copy the Classic. We are not against copying our own work, we just want to make sure we canât do better along the way.
I understand why you say that. The previous version worked well for a lot of people, yes. But âworkingâ and âfuture-proofâ arenât the same. The goal is to keep what people loved while making it possible to do even better.
Sorry I skipped it.
The Library (things you own a digital or physical version of) will be available soon. We are currently working on it.
We are looking at ways to improve the mark as collected. We want to make sure users mark real collected items and not use the Library as another list.
You have âContinue Watchingâ (what you started watching and can continue watching) and âStart Watchingâ (what you added in your Watchlist) in the Home tab.
You have access to your Watchlist in the Lists tab.
You can see what you watched under your Profile âRecently Watchedâ or at the bottom of the Home tab under âRecently Watchedâ (this changed recently based on feedback we received these last days).
Hollow words really! You stopped caring 2 years ago. If youâd have listened to Feedback the app wouldnât look like a third grader designed it.
The reason you get such big numbers is not because youâre doing such a great job but itâs the lack of actual competitors to the OG version of trakt.
Also those numbers you were throwing out there mean nothing if you donât actually state the numbers of accounts that went inactive in the past year. How many of those new accounts are actually paying customers vs how many VIPs did you loose over the last 12 months?! Thereâs also a staggering amount of fake/AI accounts and I donât think you counted them out. Youâre also benefiting from years of people recommending your site and this being less and less of a niche activity. Exponential growth would have happened either way.
Overall Iâm not convinced. Youâre talking a lot without actually saying anything. Your last statement didnât actually clarifying things it was just the same BS you mentioned before. There is nothing definitive in your words. Itâs still not clear if you actually keep classic alive forever.
I hate what Trakt has become, acting like the big corpo which they are not. For years I recommended this service because I thought this is awesome now I just donât tell people about it anymore. Trakt lite doesnât stand out. Which is why I mentioned before: why should the new customers pay for this if they can get the same thing for free as soon as this becomes a paid app only?
If or when the day that Trakt Classic is discontinued comes, I certainly do hope that itâs done in a wiser and more acceptable manner than confronting us without previous notice that Classic is history.
You know, just like you replaced the old app with Lite recently, without informing in advance or asking any of your customers if they think that Lite is well developed enough to replace the old app.
If Trakt Classic should be phased out, Iâd like to know that one year in advance. So that nobody who relies on Classic will be paying for features that you might take away from them.
I would really like to be able to send you guys feedback from directly within the shows or movies page. As it is now I always have to look all over the place trying to find where best to leave you a message or feedback regarding an error or issue. For instance, if a movie is on Prime Video and you donât show out available on Prime Video, I would like to be able to click a button within the movie page to provide you with the feedback that the movie is available on Prime, etc. Thanks.
Thatâs something you should report on Justwatch, as they provide the data. And even reporting directly on their page is rather futile, by my experience.
Not sure if this is intended design or a bug but I have movies in my continue watching that I have in fact finished, I just didnât watch the credits. âclassicâ sees these as watched (Because I have watched them) whereas ânew/liteâ sees them as unfinished with around 8-10 minutes left to watch.
The âNEWâ design of the website⊠my first reaction: O NOOO, my eyes! Iâm blind!
Luckily, thereâs a dark mode â thank you for that, at least.
Iâve been using Trakt for a long, long time and loved it from day one. It was simple, clear, and just worked. In the beginning, tracking shows was effortless thanks to plugins for Plex or Jellyfin. Then came the paid subscriptions â and somehow tracking got more and more complicated. Eventually, Plex added built-in tracking, so Trakt wasnât really needed anymore⊠but as a loyal fan of the site and its community, I kept using it.
What Iâve always loved most are the easy-to-browse trending lists for movies and shows. With one quick glance, I could see what Iâd watched and what I hadnât. Sadly, with this âNEWâ design, thatâs no longer the case.
And donât get me started on the page load times â I have a gigabit connection, and the classic pages loaded in a second or two. The new ones? Ten to fifteen seconds! Thatâs some next-level âimprovement.â
I honestly have the feeling that every update these days ends up being some kind of downgrade. Please, Trakt team â fix this terrible new iPad-app-style website and bring back something real.
