Import Streaming Platform Watchlists to "Plan to Watch"
Simkl does a great job tracking what we’ve already watched, but it completely skips over unwatched shows saved to our platform-specific watchlists—like Crunchyroll’s My Queue or Netflix’s My List. These lists often represent what we actually plan to watch next, but Simkl doesn’t import them.
The Request:
Let users import their unwatched watchlist items from supported streaming services into Simkl’s “Plan to Watch” list. Start with Crunchyroll and expand from there.How It Could Work:
A one-time bulk import of saved-but-unwatched shows
Optional auto-sync to keep things updated when users add new items
Avoid duplicates by checking against the existing…

foreign airdates
Choose the language of your choice and see the airdates in that language. i mostly watch everything in german, but need to find the german release date by myself. I really like the calendar feature but it's not helping for non english releases.

Stop using AI to create advertising and marketing assets
Y'all should know better than using the art plagiarism machine to promote a website dedicated to the appreciate of art. And if you try to censor anyone dissenting on this you're just gonna ensure that they never, ever support your site.

More obvious UX for marking a show as watched, planning to watch, etc
Every time I go to change the status of a movie or TV show from planning to watch to watched or something like that, there's some brief confusion as to what the status is. The UI just doesn't make it very obvious if an option is selected or not already. I would really like to see improvement here

Notification Option for TV Season Finale (only)
Instead of selecting which shows notify you when a new episode comes out; provide an option to only notify when the selected show(s) have aired the last episode of a season. This feature would be especially great because I'm sure a lot of folks get too many notifications and also like to wait until all the episodes for a season have aired and then 'binge' them. Thank you!!
9 votesUnfortunately this data is not always available when the season has ended and no new episodes are planned to be produced. You might miss notifications for some shows or never receive one untill new season starts.
It is available on TVDB for some shows, but not all shows and often only available after some time (few days) after last episode has aired. Show production schedule is unpredictable in many cases.

Movie Edition Relationships
Much like how Anime entries can show “Directly Related” or “Indirectly Related” series, the Movies page should also highlight special editions and alternate cuts.
By introducing relational links for various movie versions—such as Extended Edition, Director’s Cut, Blu-ray Edition, Uncensored, and Unrated—users can easily see every variant in one place.
Suggested Edition Categories:
Extended Edition
Director’s Cut
Blu-ray Edition
Uncensored Edition
Unrated Version
And few more...
Examples of Related Editions:
Spider-Man: No Way Home
Spider-Man: No Way Home – The More Fun Stuff Version
Spider-Man: No Way Home – Extended Edition
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the…

Customizable Rating Date/Time
Currently there is no option to be able to set any “Custom Watched” date hopefully it will be available soon, but the rating date is always locked to “now.”
That often creates confusion—especially if you watched something weeks ago and only just gave it a score.
Consider adding an option where, When you mark a title as “Watched” (and haven’t rated it yet),
you’re prompted to rate it immediately, with the rating date automatically matching your watched date.
At minimum, providing a way to manually edit the rating date would be a big improvement. (When you rated this)

Historical Popularity Metrics (e.g., “Peak Rating Charts / Ranking”)
A user maintains a personal library of movies and TV shows and wants to uncover which titles were exceptionally popular at any point in time—rather than only seeing their current standing.
For example, among 100 saved films, some may have once ranked in the Top 10, even if they’re no longer trending today.
Offering a way to sort and filter by historical popularity would help surface those past hits.
Suggested Metrics:
Peak Rank: The highest position a title ever achieved on the charts.
Duration at Peak Rank: Number of days/weeks a title remained at its all-time best position.
Total Days/Weeks…

My Stats Update
Hello Simkl . This is about my , My Stats .
According to My Stats we have 3 parts : watched tv , watched anime and watched movies .
But with , watched tv , there is too much in one . Because there are series , tv programs and documentaries in one .
Would it be possible if Series also got his own statistic with only series ?
So we have watched tv , watched anima , watched movies and Watched Series .

Put "Time left to watch" back on the bottom of the list of shows
There used to be info on how many days of TV you had left unwatched at the bottom of the lists. That's gone? I found that really useful, please bring it back.
6 votesV2 Beta uses a different way of showing a list of your shows, divided by number of shows per page for better performance, while V1 showed all shows on one page, so not easy to add a total counter when it only selects a portion of your shows to display without sacrifising performance.
We do show time stats on watching list eps left to watc in your stats page, the second option currently is to switch to V1 interfacte at https://simkl.com/settings/pro/

Add the ability to track the watching of Live events (e.g. Sports)
Add the ability to search for and track track watching of sporting events like NFL, UFC, soccer/football, Olympics, NCAA etc. It seems it would be its own new category, but at least having the ability somewhere would be fantastic.

More informations/options in the "Airing Next" on the Dashboard
Hello!
I would love to have more informations or options to customize the "Airing Next" panel on my Dashboard.
A few examples :
- An option to add "airing next" shows that I haven't started yet but are in my watchlist and "plan to watch list" (I think right now it's just the premiere showing up if I don't start watching it?)
- Seeing which episode is going to air nextIn my case, for some tv shows I like to wait until most episodes are out (or all of them) and I know if it's episode 10/12/16 it's probably…
