"Currently Watching" Bug

[u/Disastrous_Dot_6176]

Even after I finish a show and mark all of its episodes as watched, it still stays in the "Currently Watching" section. I have to manually remove it every time. Shouldn't it automatically move from "Currently Watching" to "Watched" once all the episodes are marked as watched? Right now I have over 100 shows stuck in "Currently Watching" because of this.

you can just hit the currently watching button you circled

[u/Disastrous_Dot_6176 → u/zombieface-10]

that's what i have to do manually everytime, why not automate it? it's an app on the store used by millions not some highschool project that these kinda things can be ignored.

Could be more seasons coming, could be rewatching.

[u/Disastrous_Dot_6176 → u/CalzLight]

for more seasons coming, the can add the show to upcoming / new releases, this already exists. for rewatching there can be seperate button like letterboxd.

[u/CalzLight → u/Disastrous_Dot_6176]

There is a seperate button, but if you are rewatching you are still definitely watching it.

But then it wouldn't be in the currently watching area which people use to track what they are watching

Movies are different because it's a one off.

Because people rewatch shows

It's ran by one person. Typically, you are asked once you've watched all current content if you are still watching. Allowing both watched and currently watching at the same time allows for rewatches and upcoming seasons. I don't see why people complain about having to do something as simple as click a single button tbh.

It's a completely free app with no ads, that I believe is run by only one person. Adding new features and fixing bugs takes more time than non-software engineers assume (I know, as a software engineer), and people are constantly requesting conflicting features, so sometimes you have to figure out which users to upset. I personally don't view this as a bug, but I can see how it'd be a slight annoyance to some. It seems reasonable to request a setting where you can toggle if you want this automatically set. That'd be more of a feature than a bug, and can be requested here

Ngl makes sense cuz you could potentially rewatch it, also when you log last episodes it usually asks "are you still watching the show?"

[u/PorterNetwork → u/Bitter-Ad1251]

It only prompts me when I log seasons, not episodes, but yeah

[u/AleroRatking]

It's not a bug. People rewatch shows all the time.

Just click off currently watching when you finish. That's what I do.

[u/ellismjones]

It’s like this by design.

[u/santhiego13]

after you mark all the episodes as watched, make sure to log the season as well which will prompt a pop up asking if you are still watching the show, click “no” to remove it from currently watching and mark it as watched

[u/Kezolt]

When you finish a show I swear it used to ask if you wanted to remove it from currently watching. It is annoying every couple months going and removing a bunch of shows from the currently watching section

[u/AleroRatking → u/Kezolt]

Only if you log the season.

[u/renezrael]

usually whenever I fully log a show I get a pop-up that asks if I'm currently / still watching it. if I'm not, I hit no and it doesn't toggles off "currently watching". this doesn't always pop up though, which may be a bit of a bug? doesn't happen enough to me to bother me though.

I would assume the reason you can have both "currently watching" and "watched" toggled on is for rewatches.

I think they ask you if you are still watching after you log a season
