FilmNoir TV Tracker for Trakt

Destined to become one of your top five apps you use during the week! Amazing set of features, I'm still digging through and setting my preferences but I have YET to come across something I would list as a negative. I WOULD have asked for an universal iPad version but saw on Twitter that one is currently in the works so I am happy to be patient until that is ready! One BRILLIANT feature I came across already was the ability to "Hide Show Progress". I've looked for this feature in other apps in the past and its not been possible so the choice there was to either continue to mark episodes of shows you abandoned as "watched" to clear the watchlist or delete the show entirely. I'm going back through a few shows to reset the watched flags to set it right and hid the show and couldn't be happier to have this. The customized viewing and list order is very well thought out and user has some many options to set it the way we want to view our lists. Having Movies and TVs in one app instead of having to use two? Thank you! As background notes, I have been using iShow's TV and Movie apps for years but those have not been updated in over a year, dev no longer responds to emails so I feel those have come to their end and with iOS 15 around the corner wanted to find a replacement. I've done this search in the past but did the swing through a dozen apps again this morning and FilmNoir blows every other one out of the water! Since I have a long history of syncing through Trakt, that was a bit of a deal breaker to get as much back up to speed without starting over as I would with some apps. However, even apps that weren't Trakt enabled, I still didn't come across a single one that I would rather use than FilmNoir. Looking forward to the future of getting through backlog and new releases with my NEW, FAVORITE tracking app!!

I have been using FilmNoir for the better part of 4 years now and in that time I have become addicted! The app started off with the basics and overtime the developers have listened to feedback and developed an app I now can not live without! Many times over have I invested time and money in an app with similar features and functionality only to have the developer disappear from the App Store never to be seen again, not with FilmNoir! The developers care deeply about their app and the updates are consistent and make the app better with every update! I wish for anyone who goes crazy trying to remember all the movies and tv shows you want to watch to create a trakt account and download this app! It is the best I’ve used and that is coming from someone who has used every other possible app beforehand.

There are a plethora of apps that attempt to do what this one does: Track/Alert tv shows and movies, keep track of watch history, inform where to watch something...all with a clean, swift, responsive, and visually pleasing interface. You’d assume that implementation of these things would be rather simple. However, based upon my past experiences with similar apps, this seems to not be the case. Needless to say (but I am anyway, lol), discovering this app was a shockingly delightful surprise! The devs make available all of the things listed above, and THEN SOME! Skipping this app is akin to leaving Mt. Doom with the Ring of Power without casting it into the fires...your soul will eventually be consumed by complete and utter darkness! Or, you’ll just find yourself participating in the act of: “Netflix and Cry in Complete Hopelessness.“ I rate this app ”perfect in an imperfect app store!“
