Trakt Feedback - New UI

Hi,

I have been using Trakt since last year and honestly it’s a great app. Talking about the new UI of Trakt, I miss the previous one. It was way better than this.

The new UI is too cluttered, I can’t see different sections; while inside any tv show, previously I could just tick which season I finished watching but now I need to tick either whole tv show or individual episode, which is too frustrating.

Also the calendar section was great to keep track of which episode coming which week (I could relate more as format similar to normal calendar app) but now it just shows upcoming episode directly.

Being a programmer I can understand the UI can’t be reverted back to previous one for all users but I request you to provide choice to users which UI they want, as I would definitely prefer the previous one.

Thank you.

Hi, thanks for reaching out!
We have no plans to allow the old UI to be an option anymore since this new version was built from scratch.
You can still mark whole seasons as watched using this:


And we will also add a way to mark one episode and say “Watched until here” like we already have in the web version:

So it should be better in future updates.

As for the calendar section, we are currently working at implementing it in the app, so it should come back soon.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

I also share your opinions, and would love to have the old UI back.

To add to your criticism, I can’t find an easy way to go back to previous and next episodes/movies and I have to scroll down all the way to the bottom now to view my watch history of a specific item.

I cannot find progress page on new UI (both web and android app)
I want to see all completed, dropped shows on my profile.

This is planned and will be coming back: Buttons to quickly navigate to previous and next episode · Issue #1399 · trakt/trakt-web · GitHub

It will be done first on web and then on mobile apps.
The progress page will probably look different, we want to avoid overloading the interface with everything we have.

Just a note: I know the title of this post is generic but it’s easier to follow up with your feedback if a post is focussed on a specific feedback and stays on topic.

Thanks for your feedback!

Are season level comments coming back to iOS? That’s usually where I comment. If not, can they be gathered up and moved to the series level or first episode per season comments? I would hate to lose my years of contributions to the community.

Ive read that season pages aren’t even coming back. Which is an odd move lol.

How are you gonna find the specials if you disable them from showing up on progress.

Because lets me honest. Most specials added to (especially older shows like friends or nice) aren’t even proper specials by tmdb definition.

The new app shouldn’t have been released when it’s missing so many features. At least, there should be an option to switch to the old UI, like on the website.
