Movie Tracker: Watchlist

Love it, if you want to organize and keep ‘lists’ of movies you own or want to watch then just buy the lifetime - so worth it! 4 stars for room to improve; 1) series and order in series [we all know the titles and release dates aren’t consistent with storyline, especially so in Marvel or Star Wars universes, so if I can’t change the title then give me series/order] 2) next up in my watchlist [this is available for tv shows but if I can mark a space/list as currently watching then show me the next movie to watch] 3) order sorting in spaces [alphabetical is default but allow me to order the list in my preferred watch order, separate of the series watch order, which makes my second point more valuable] 4) if possible, connect to my streaming accounts for auto-tracking what I watch but don’t sacrifice current cost if this would increase the cost.

I spent the past few days testing out everything this Movie Tracker app has to offer and I am blown away. It’s the perfect balance of ease plus detailed customization. I love tracking everything I watch and being able to organize my backlog into spaces is perfect. Spaces vs smart lists are great options too because they serve different use cases for me! Just an incredibly well thought out app overall! (Plus I really enjoy the Book tracking app too) The only reason why it’s not getting 5 stars (yet) is because there are some day to day use cases that I wish it had. For example, marking something as watched could be slightly easier or prominently displayed. Also, searching online is great but I’d love for more realtime results as I’m typing. Small but meaningful changes would make this app absolutely perfect for me! Otherwise, it’s a 4.5/5! Highly recommend the subscription or even the lifetime purchase if you can swing it.

Spreadsheets and physical notepads is how I kept track of the shows and movies I watched. Then I kept track on whatever streaming service I happened to use. Now that streaming services have become like cable I wanted to consolidate all the shows and movies I have watched. Lots of apps out there offer this service but almost all of them will harvest your personal data. I'm not about that. The fact that data isn't collected is a huge plus for me. The full functionality of the app is only $5 - unheard of in these days where everything is a subscription!
