Had to do a deep dive on the app store to find this gem, searching for the best movie and show tracking app with features that are important to me. This one matched my desires more than other apps I’ve used or tried to date, including the top runners like Sequel. ### It includes:- Deep links to content (few offer this). You can link back to any show or movie and even actors and crew members. - You can also add notes to any show, movie or actor, crew member and even specific episodes. No other app to my knowledge allows you to add notes in such an extensive way. And I have tested dozens. - It has a clean and simple interface. - Watch list history. You can change watch dates too. - “Screen note” history. A timeline log of all your notes. - Watch List and *Custom lists*- Personal rating with a sliding percentage tool that gives more ability to fine tune your rating rather than just 1-5 stars- Lightning fast search- Helpful filtering system for watch list and custom lists - Doesn’t use TrakTV to sync which is a plus for me, rather it uses private iCloud sync between devices. - Beautiful UI with a pleasing app icon- Generous one month free trial. And Lifetime purchase option. You can tell the developer put a lot of thought and care into this app. Amazed at how hard it was to find. Hope it gains traction on the App Store because it is such a well crafted app and deserves a lot more attention. Just a few suggestions for future updates. - Display screen notes under movie, show or actor (or setting preference to enable)- Filtering system for Discover tab (genre, network, etc.) to see only what you are interested in. A big thanks to the developer for creating such an excellent app, that finally ended my search for the perfect movie and show tracking app. 🎉

Easy to search titles and keep a watchlist without clutter. The UI looks great and everything loads quickly. Definitely staying on my phone.
Way better than IMDB

Loads fast, no ads, shows everywhere the movie I’m looking for is streaming. World be nice to customize the Discover page.
Can’t even search one thing without subscribing

Ridiculous. Can’t even search once without subscribing. Looks decent, but ridiculously overpriced for the one-time $75 purchase.
