I like the new enhancements of being able to check off movies that aren’t airing and have passed. However, with the “Also available on Up Faith & Family” orange border enhancement the green check marks for watched movies disappear when looking under the upcoming movies and discover tabs. This makes it hard to tell which movies I have and have not watched at a quick glance.

I’ve had the app since I first heard of its existence and I do appreciate all the improvements made thus far. One complaint I have lately though is that if I mark something as “watched,” that label disappears when the movie leaves the app. When the movie reappears, everything resets. So for instance, I marked one movie from the summer as watched, it went off-air during the winter Christmas movie season, and was no longer visible on the app. The same movie is showing up again in the app because it will be airing again in January in the “upcoming”section, but it does not have my “watched” mark on it anymore. You would expect it to have the little check mark on it still since I marked it as watched in the summer. I guess it is frustrating that the whole reason for using the app, to record what you watched and want to watch, only half works. With so make great movies, I do use the tracker to keep track of what I’ve already watched. So, it’s annoying to know that when a new batch of movies comes back around, I won’t know if I saw them or not, because they reset my selections. Next Christmas will be especially confusing with the 30ish movies i watched this year resetting. I hope that makes sense!

First of all, let me say that I like the improvements made to this app! We can now mark that we’ve watched movies, set them as favorites, and set reminders in our calendar to watch. A couple things that I wish were different: 1. It would be nice to be able to mark movies as “want to watch” or something so that they’ll have an icon on them to remind me when I’m going through the list. I am not interested in watching all the movies, so it would be nice at a glance to see what upcoming movies I was interested in seeing. 2. I wish the movies didn’t go off the app. Currently, the only movies on the app are the ones that are upcoming in the next couple weeks. Once they’ve aired, if they’re not airing again for a while, they are removed from the app. But if I’ve set things to record, sometimes they’re already off the app by the time I go to mark them as watched. I think it would be nice to add a section for all movies. Then you could still have a section for upcoming, but all the movies are always available to look at.
