A TV show tracker for Android
ShowSeek keeps what you watch in one place. It tracks your episode progress and your watch history. Save movies and shows to watch later, sort them into custom lists such as favourites or dropped shows, rate what you have seen, and get reminders for upcoming episodes, season premieres and movie releases. If you used Trakt before, it imports your Trakt history, watchlist and progress. Its Google Play listing shows no ads and optional in-app purchases.
Free tracking with a community, and where to stream
Trakt is free to join. You check in to what you are watching, mark episodes and movies you saw before, keep a detailed history, and import from IMDb, Plex, Letterboxd and TV Time. Through JustWatch it shows streaming links, and it adds trending and anticipated titles, a watchlist and lists, social features, recommendations and an Up Next view. Sofa Time on iPhone tracks shows and movies with Trakt and Simkl, shows where to stream across more than 500 services, and adds a watchlist, reminders and widgets.
A movie tracker for film lovers
If you mostly watch films, Letterboxd is a social network built around them. You log each film with a date, rating, review and tags, keep a watchlist, create lists and follow other members. Pro and Patron upgrades add stats and filters by streaming service.
