Does V3 look good? In my opinion, controversially, yes. Does it function? Absolutely not. I have stumbled through things, and figured some of the things out that serve my intended use. But it took me hours to get part way to where I want to be for the service that I pay for. Some of that is partly down to the fact that no matter what I click on, nothing loads. I have to refresh the page every single click. Alas, I persisted, more out of stubbornness to not have poor marketing and business decisions beat me than anything else.
I wholeheartedly agree with much of the sentiment here and I’m curious to know, who Trakt are serving. I’m going to go ahead and assume that those who are happy with the changes, wouldn’t be posting about it here which is seemingly why nobody has seen positive comments. I’m sure there are some, but perhaps I’m just an optimist. Perhaps I’m so stubborn that I want to figure V3 out, rather than admit that a decade of payments to Trakt was ultimately, a waste of money.
I’m getting my head around some elements, though overall, what I have figured out, is categorically a step backwards. I’m yet to understand where my ‘Collection’ is. I’m aware it’s now ‘Library’, but why o why release this if we are unable to actually collapse the library into seasons, let alone shows. Let’s say for example, I’ve collected every episode of The Simpsons, bar one. V2 I’d figure out which episode was missing in a few clicks. V3, requires three times as many clicks, just as many page refreshes, and by the time I find the episode that I haven’t collected, The Simpsons has been cancelled.
I’m all for change, if that change serves a purpose. I’m yet to see what that purpose is.
