Is it me or is mark 2 checking for new episodes at boot up sometimes taking longer than mark 1?
sometimes I would have to swipe down for it to finish checking for new episodes.
Both use the same piece of code and API endpoints to check for new episodes. This seems more to be a network/server (maybe cached vs non-cached) thing. Iāll keep an eye on it

Wait, what? Thereās now payments for Trakt VIP that you are the product manager for and then if I want to use Rippple because thatās more geared towards iOS thereās an additional sum?
Iāve met used car dealers that arenāt as sleazy as this. So whatās the plan? All the items that got removed from Trakt VIP become offered in Rippple?

rippple always had a separate subscription even if you had trakt vip. thats not the case anymore, and the app still functions the same from the previous free version of rippple if youāre a free user of trakt. you canāt subscribe to rippple and still be a free user of trakt, but if you are vip at trakt then you get all the extra perks in rippple

Iām going to answer this once more to clarify the facts, then Iāll move on.
Youāre mixing interpretations with what was actually said.
Rippple becoming an official Trakt app does not mean it suddenly became my full-time work or that it takes focus away from Trakt. My role and focus at Trakt havenāt changed. To be clear, my focus has never been only on V3/web (or Rippple), but on Trakt as a whole, as Iāve said multiple times.
āEvolving alongside Traktā does not mean replacing the website or shifting priority away from it. It means aligning an existing app with the platform instead of having it operate independently with a separate direction and business model.
On ownership and decision-making: I donāt ārun Traktā, and Iām not the sole decision-maker. I communicate a lot publicly, yes, but that doesnāt change how the team operates internally. I understand the need to simplify this to a single point of responsibility, but thatās not how the team works.
On the financial side, since you keep asking:
There is no additional Rippple subscription anymore. Rippple II aligns with Trakt VIP. There is no separate revenue stream going to me, and nothing about Trakt VIP changes because of this.
At this point, Iāve answered your questions multiple times. If you choose to reinterpret my answers or counter them with your opinions, Iām going to disengage, as this is becoming repetitive and counter-productive.
If you have new, specific/on-topic questions that havenāt already been addressed, feel free to ask. Otherwise, Iām going to leave it here and focus on moving things forward.

No, thereās no additional sum.
No, thatās not what happened or whatās going to happen.

I think the app developer did this on purpose and couldnāt care less about you or me. I have a lifetime subscription too, and I didnāt need to buy VIP because the app was more than enough for me.
This question has been coming up a lot lately.
Iāll be honest here: Lifetime Premium in Rippple was never really future-proof. Thatās why I removed it around May 2025. Even when I was working on Rippple independently, that model wasnāt sustainable and created confusion, especially with Rippple Premium being mixed up with Trakt/Trakt VIP.
To be clear:
- Rippple I ā supports Rippple Premium and Trakt VIP
- Rippple II ā supports Trakt VIP only
- Rippple Premium never gave access to Trakt VIP
I understand the frustration with this. You purchased a Lifetime Premium for Rippple I and now Iām saying that that lifetime is being cut short.
The options you currently have:
- Keep using Rippple I with your Premium access (itās not dead yet)
- Use Rippple II for free, and get VIP at some point if you feel like your app/service usage is worth it
- Jump on the Beta program to test Rippple II and give feedback, it wonāt give you all Trakt VIP perks but it will give you additional features to test
Note: if you really want to go the route of asking for a refund: Request a refund for apps or content that you bought from Apple. I honestly donāt know if they will accept the refund request given the context (timeline, alternatives,ā¦) but if you want to try, this is the way.
I knew it.
In that case, please let me know where I can submit my ideas? If one of my ideas were to be implemented, Iād be over the moon and would forget all about the trouble.
Not sure if this is the best place for queries around this app or not, but Iāve got a list that is a mix of TV Shows, TV Seasons and Movies. Generally, I add Seasons and Movies, so that everything is sorted by release order so the timeline makes sense to me.
When a movie is watched, it greys out.
When a full season of a show is watched, it shows in full colour (nothing to indicate watched)
When I add the TV show to the list and all seasons / episodes watched, it greys out.
Is there anyway to have it that when all episodes in a season is watched it greys the season out?
I donāt know if you found this already (I missed your message, just seeing it now), but you can submit feature requests here: trakt-rippple on GitHub or join this Discord server for Rippple.
I also take feature requests on Mastodon and Bluesky.
If none of these work, just post them in this thread or send me a private message, Iāll always see what I can do.
Iāll take a look at this.
Movies and episodes are the easiest to check against the āis it watched yetā list. Shows I can do because I have a ācompletedā list. Seasons are a bit more complicated but shouldnāt be impossible.
Thanks for the feedback!
