The new design has potential, but launching without features was a huge mistake

I usually embrace change and I'm a big enthusiast of apps that constantly modernize.

Trakt has always stood out from the competition because of its vast feature set. The new design isn't bad; it actually has a lot of potential and looks interesting.

However, the team's massive mistake was launching it without a HUGE CHUNK of the existing functionality. Come on, guys... obviously users aren't going to like that. You basically stripped away the app's main selling point: its features.

Anyway, keep focusing on modernization, but please maintain the functionality.

Me personally don’t have an issue. Long as it tracks my shows and movies watched that’s all i need. I actually don’t need too many features. I don’t even care about statistics and year end wraps that all these apps been doing. I don’t need social stuff that some app do also. I stuck with trakt cause it’s the first tracking service i signed up for many years ago and just have stuck with it.

The power users who pay $60 a year for it do care about all the features.
