Shape the Future of Trakt
DATE WATCHED.
Why the hell did you change the way you enter what date you watched a movie for. The new takes way too long. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
Bring back VIP ability to force Refresh from data sources.
The link on the left in version 2 allowed VIP members to trigger a refresh of data for a show from its source (usually TMDB). The 2026 version is missing this link. I updated a show yesterday on TMDB, and as it’s a low-traction show, it could take a while for the data to be updated by a routine pull from Trakt. I thought perhaps the TMDB pulls had been sped up, making the Trigger button unnecessary, but it appears not to be the case.
Sort "Continue Watching" by next episode release date
Currently, when sorting shows by release date on the "Continue Watching" page, it orders them based on the show's original release date. It would be a great feature to sort them by the release date of the upcoming episode instead. This would make tracking crossover shows—like Arrow and The Flash—much easier and far more enjoyable to watch in exact release order.
Bring back sorting
Sorting is a powerful system, I use it to sort by rating when I am on an actor or director page after watching a movie. Now, I can’t sort movies to discover new ones, especially in minor movie countries. If this feature isn’t back at the end of the year, I’ll look for another website and cancel my VIP. This is a shame. This “app” website is a nonsense. Hate it.
Bring back numbers and percentages of things.
Number of comments, shows, movies, reviews, how much I’ve seen from a certain actor’s projects.
Watched - Unknown date
Currently if I select Unknown date - Trakt marks it as watched today. Which isn't great (or else I would select that). The default should be release date.
Change the default sorting of Continue Watching
The old Trakt had this. I personally prefer having the opposite order to the current default, where the show I watched longest ago appears first, which allows for you to cycle through your shows better imo.
Sorting by Time Spent/Number of Plays
This was one of my favorite ways to keep track of both shows and movies throughout the years. I love knowing not only how many times I watched something, but how long I’ve spent on it as well. It’s still in the Top Shows/Movies on the year in review, but you can’t click anymore and see anything outside the Top 10, and you can only see time spent, not number of plays. This was my favorite feature on the site, and I deeply miss it.
Make the tiny "watched" icon on the movie poster on searches a bright contrasting color in the middle of the poster.
The watched icon is small and grey/white and at the bottom where it blends in and is hard to see. Make it massive and purple - which keeps it on brand - or any bright, big contrasting color, and move it into the center of the movie poster. Make it OBVIOUS.
Planned
View full history
How can I view my full history of series and movies? There should be a page with this information. There should be filters to view this history - filters such as: the number of days each series or movie was watched, the number of times they were played, and the total hours watched. That way, on this page, I would see a list of all the series and movies I’ve watched, organized in a specific order. I would see the series I watched the most, then the second, the third... down to the last one. The same applies to movies. I would see the one I watched the most, then the second... down to the last one. The key thing is having lists containing this information for all series and movies, rather than just a top 10 or top 20. It’s not just about seeing the numbers, but seeing the cover art for each title as well. The previous version had a similar feature. Thank you for your time
In Continue Watching ALWAYS show number of episodes and duration left
Currently for older shows in Continue Watching the remaining number of episodes and duration left is shown, as it should be. However for a new EPISODE or even worse for a new SEASON of a show, it only says NEW, regardless how many NEW episodes are left. This is utterly unhelpful. For example, when there are 8 episodes left, I want to see there are 8 episodes left. Showing me NEW every time I watch one episode, is completely IRRELEVANT information. So please make sure to provide relevant information instead of showing complete non-information. This is not even a technical feature of addition (as it’s already done correctly for older shows), it’s apparantly a design choice that makes absolutely no sense. Just put things like New, Premiere, Finale etc. somewhere else, but DON’T replace the basic functionality that shows you how many episodes are left. This is absolutely Trakt 101 stuff, so it’s kind of strange I should be even making this case, but here we are… Thank you for your consideration!
RSS-feed
In V2 you could generate RSS and other (iCal, CSV) feeds from multiple pages. Basically the features explained here: https://forums.trakt.tv/t/ical-rss-and-csv-feeds/19093 Personally I used it to generate an up to date RSS-feed of my CONTINUE WATCHING show for example. In V3 this functionality is completely gone. I would like to have this feature back.
Bring back the ability to mark unaired or future episodes as watched for all users (Free & VIP)
In Trakt v2, users could mark episodes as watched even if their official release date was in the future. Since this functionality was removed in v3, it has caused significant friction for the entire community—both Free users and VIP subscribers alike. Shows and movies frequently premiere early at film festivals, leak, or release on different dates across international regions and streaming platforms. Restricting watch status based on a single hardcoded release date prevents users from keeping an accurate, real-time viewing history. Technically, this feature is still entirely functional under the hood: users can currently inspect the page elements in their browser and manually remove the disabled attribute to successfully mark an item as watched. Tracking watched content is the core purpose of Trakt, not a luxury add-on. This functionality should be restored as a native, accessible option for all users (Free and VIP), rather than relying on browser workarounds.
Add back ability to add episodes to lists plus notes
I would like to a return of the adding episodes to lists option. I host a true crime podcast about specific true crime shows and when I watch an episode I think will be good for the pod, I add it to my “Potential Episodes” list. Then in the notes section I would describe what happens in the episode so I know what happened in the ep. This was a daily use of the app and desktop site for me and with it gone now I’m at a loss for how to keep tabs on episodes.
Bring back the progress list
Bring back the progress list. It was the best feature of the App and then it disappeared
Display "Where to Watch" when hovering over posters
It would be nice if you could preview where to stream on hover, like you could in v2. Currently, you have to go into each item to find that info.
Release Dates
Bring back the month, day and year of the release date for everything. Movies, seasons, episodes
Customise Homepage on Web
The ability to decide what sections are shown and in what order. For example, I have no interest in recommendations but have to scroll past them everytime to look at history section. I think the ability to hide recommendations (or whatever sections a user wants to) would make the UI more user friendly. And if possible to select the order of sections, such as have history section after continue watching section.
