Product Updates
In May, we continued improving V3 across web, iOS, and Android, and we’re getting closer to an important next step for Trakt.
That next step is about bringing more users into one modern experience, while also making Trakt feel more balanced: useful and fair for free users, and more powerful for advanced users who need higher limits, deeper control, and more flexibility.
We’re getting closer to an important next step.
→ By the end of June, V3 will become the default Trakt experience for VIP members.
V3 is already the default for non-VIP users, and we learned a lot from it. We see people using it, sticking with it, and giving us the kind of feedback that helps us keep making it better every day.
Now it’s time to start bringing VIPs forward too.
Our goal is to keep bringing useful workflows forward into one Trakt experience we can keep improving for everyone.
We also want to be clearer about how we think about Trakt VIP.
→ Trakt should be useful for everyone, without feeling like you’re constantly running into a paywall.
When something is VIP, it should usually be because it fits a more advanced use case: heavier use of the service, higher limits, deeper control, or customization that is more complex to build and maintain.
Some things currently behind VIP don’t really fit that idea anymore, and other features make more sense when they’re available to more people with sensible limits.
Trakt Plex Sync is one of those.
We want casual Plex users to be able to sync their library, play from Trakt, and track what they watch. VIP will remain the better fit for more advanced use cases like multiple servers, near real-time sync, larger libraries, and deeper control.
So, going forward, the direction is:
Make the free experience feel useful and fair.
Make Trakt VIP the better experience for advanced users.
That’s the direction we want to keep working toward with the community as Trakt continues to grow.
On iOS, recent updates focused on the parts of the app people use most: keeping up with shows, opening more detailed media pages, and making the experience more personal.
Better progress tracking with a new Progress section in the Profile tab, including Up to Date, In Progress, and Dropped shows, plus initial sorting options for Continue Watching and Start Watching.
More complete media pages with better drilldowns for episodes, seasons, actors, extras, related items, credits, and social activity, plus smarter episode positioning in Show and Episode summaries.
More personal control with advanced global filters throughout the app, a way to update your user profile cover image, personal and favorite notes for movies and shows, and the option to attach a note when dropping a show.
We also added more languages, improved the Social feed by merging repeated activity items, and fixed issues around special episode watched status, Month in Review, Year in Review, Person summaries, and missing episode counts.

Android continued catching up fast, with updates that make the app feel more complete across profiles, media pages, filters, and playback.
Better progress tracking with a new Progress section in the Profile screen, making it easier to keep up with what you’re watching.
More complete media pages with full-screen Season and Episodes sections, updated cast episode counts in media and people summaries, and effective release dates for episodes.
More control and polish with Simple and Advanced filters, prioritized in-app video playback, a rating prompt for recently watched movies, support for 20 interface languages, and more crash fixes, UI tweaks, and reported bug fixes.
This is exactly the kind of progress we need as Android keeps getting closer to the full Trakt experience.

On Web, the focus was V3 completion: improving the everyday pages, flows, and details that make the experience feel more useful on desktop.
Better summaries and drilldowns with improved episode, season, People, and Where to Watch drilldowns, cleaner drawers, and more consistent links to deeper information.
More useful lists, profiles, and stats with improvements to list summaries, list sorting, My Ratings, My Stats, profile activity, streaks, and Month in Review / Year in Review related pages.
More polish and reliability with better desktop toggles, filter navigation, layout refinements, translation updates, safer loading states, fewer noisy errors, and fixes for older browsers.
These changes continue moving V3 toward a more complete desktop experience, with less reliance on horizontal browsing and more ways to drill into the full information you need.

Whether you’re a developer, a power user, or just someone who notices something that could be better, your feedback helps shape what we work on next.
The work is all connected.
V3 is becoming the main Trakt experience. Our mobile apps are getting closer to the same core workflows. Web is filling in more of the missing pieces. And VIP is getting a clearer purpose.
There is still work to do, and we know some workflows are not where they need to be yet. But the path is clear:
One modern Trakt experience, useful for everyone, with VIP focused on advanced users and heavier use.
Thanks for all the feedback, bug reports, feature requests, and patience as we keep moving this forward.
