Option to only open app not episode with iOS Widget

I use the Up Next widget on iOS and since it already takes 4 tiles, I removed the Trakt app from my homescreen and use the widget to open the app.

The problem is: It always opens the episode and in 95% of the time I am opening the app to do something else than interact with that episode.

I would like an option for the widget interaction to do one of three things:

  • open the episode (current behavior and sane default)
  • open the app where I left off (act like the app icon basically)
  • open a specific site (not important to me but is just came to mind, that this might be interesting

I would suggest adding the option here:

I’ll make a note of this, though for now while this could be something done in the future, if you tap up the top section of the widget (where it shows “Up Next” and the Trakt logo) it will open the app and not navigate anywhere. This seems to work for both the small and medium widgets.

Works for me! Brilliant!
