Simkl Lists: TV, Anime, Movies

Like said in the title, it’s a great app and I love it so much, but I wish it had the same features like on the website so I could see what my friends were watching as well and others things as well, still a great app tho.

The few things I want to use the app for just get redirected to my phone web browser. Everything is fine in that view, so why can’t that be the app? Web on desktop works well and that’s what I normally use.

Can no longer mark the first episode of a show as watched from the Aired tab. Have to drill down to the show’s page and manually complete episode one and then it works fine for the remaining episodes. Happens every time I start a new show though. One year without updates. Bugs are starting to pile up. App needs some TLC.

I want to like this I really do but the app is garbage if you want me to review the actual service using it in a web browser it’s fantastic but this is not a true native iOS app it’s a web app or progressive app whatever they call it that’s trash. It’s not user-friendly. It’s not very friendly. It doesn’t go back like a normal iOS app would there bugs all over it and glitches. It’s just very clunky and there’s an actual app. I’ll continue using Trakt as my go to.

Pretty good but buggy constantly have shows giving me wrong dates for airing or watched progress doesn’t match up.

Love the functionality of this app. Though I use the website more, app is also pretty good.

You don’t really need to use the app. When I just tried to check the list that I made to check on the anime release dates it would just open my web browser to the website. it defeats the purpose for downloading the app. So I’ll give it a three star since the apps not needed but I like the website.

I don’t get notifications on IOS when a new episode comes out

An incredibly wide variety of movies either free or at a reasonable rate.

This app has a very confusing navigation. You waste so much time trying to find the anime and tv shows you want to add to your watchlist. Most shows I searched are not up to date, have too many repeated entries for the same anime, and heavily relies on opening web pages outside the app. For example, I just watched episode 17 “Reunion” of “Mushoko Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation” and this app has 2 entries. The first entry says the “Series Ended” and the most recent airing was episode 11 “Children and Warriors”. That’s false. The second entry is more accurate by saying the most recently aired episode was “Reunion” (this is correct) but misidentified the episode # as 6. They have episode 12 as the first episode for the series. These problems happen all the time with other anime listings. Next, all I wanted was to select all the animes I have watched so that the app can directly tell me if a new episode was released. But the app has too many options. You can categorize a show as 1) Watching, 2) Plan to Watch, 3) Completed, 4) On Hold, and 5) Not Interested. But which one of the options will send you notifications about new episodes, a new season, or new info on release dates? For example, I have seen all the aired episodes for Season 1-3 of the anime Overlord. I want to know when the next season airs and when Season 4 Episode 1 is available. Do I select “Watching” or “Completed”? If I select “Completed” I am worried the app thinks I am done with the series and I won’t get updates. The app only needs one option: Follow. Finally I am frustrated having the app push me to my internet browsing app (Safari) to look up all the info. You’re telling me the app does not contain all the info I need? I have to go back to the website Smkl, scroll past all those advertisements that break up the information I want, and repeat this on everything I want information on. Almost every time I did not get the info I wanted. The app was supposed to be a shortcut to avoid going the obnoxiously over-advertised Smkl website. I am convinced this app developer has fake ratings put onto the App Store to artificially inflate its score. There are too many 5 star reviews without information.
