Optimizing Streaming Subscriptions: Tailoring Your Choices to Your Watchlist
Notifying which streaming service to subscribe to (Netflix, Disney, etc) based on watchlist planning.
For - streaming membership expense management.
More Context
Rather than relying on the abundance of streaming apps available, consider a different approach. How about a service that advises users on which streaming platforms to subscribe to and which to cancel based on their watchlist? For instance, it could recommend subscribing to Netflix this month because two shows with all episodes released are available, and then suggest canceling other subscriptions next month if the desired shows aren't on those platforms or haven't completed their season. The goal…2 votes -
Recommendations for shows should be done like myanimelist
Recommendations for shows should be done like myanimelist, where it's community driven. so many shows have bad recommendations. which in turn make the site annoying to navigate to find good things based on my interests.

Make Custom Lists public permanently so we don’t still have to use other apps like Letterboxd, Serializd, TV Time etc
If it’s buggy that’s fine for now. Free days of Pro can be unlocked so they’re available anyways but it should be permanent. Otherwise we’ll have to import all these lists from different apps when it’s made public on Simkl. And with Letterboxd planning to introduce TV Shows to their app this year, you may miss the chance to show you’re the best all-in-one media tracker/rater. Which is why I’d also suggest making the V2 layout/look public soon too and get a better friend/feed style. Then allow 0-100 rating system and you’re pretty much perfect

Skip a season of a show
There are some anthology series out there of reality shows with every season a new cast. Sometimes a season just didn't is good or I want to skip that season.
Ofcourse you can mark that season as watched without watching it, but a skip season but still watching the show feature would be kinda neat, because I don't have to mark something as watched I didn't watched.
Dropped is no option because I want to skip only a season (So maybe a drop a season feature?)14 votes -
TV Show Type
Lists V2 allows selections based on TV Show Type. The listed show types are TV Series, Animation, Entertainment, Documentary and Youtube. What's the source of this show type?
I basically only want to see scripted shows. Even when I only select TV Series, and exclude all other types, Australian sports show Formula 1 (amazingly ranked #16 all time) is still displayed. So are variety shows like The Carol Burnett Show. If I scrolled down far enough, even reality TV shows may be listed.
While the idea is great, the underlying info sucks. Please consider extracting the show type from TV…

Display IMDB episode and season ratings
When listing seasons and episodes of a show, display ratings from IMDB for each episode and each season. Rating episodes and seasons on Simkl would be great too, but this seems like a much easier thing to implement that would meet half the need: answering the question of which episodes to skip!

More detailed watch history + being able to set a watch date.
A major thing preventing me from using this site is that it doesn't have a watch history as detailed as Trakt. If I go into my history, I can see when I watched whatever to the minute.
There's also the option to select "Other Date" when adding something, where I can input any time I want.

Order of the episodes
It would be good if we can change the order of the episodes. It is Last-to-First as default but I would like to sort them First-to-Last.

Add a playlist/subscribe feature for things like the MCU that have many titles being released that should be watched in a certain order.
It would be nice if you could choose to have new titles from the MCU automatically added to your watchlist. Also if you could view a calendar specifically of that universe to make sure you are watching in the right order. For example, the DC superhero shows from the CW overlap episode by episode instead of season by season, which can be a nightmare to manage. Or another example would be Star Wars Clone Wars which inexplicably released episodes out of order, but someone in the Simkl community could create a playlist that has the shows in the right order.

collaborative watch lists
would love to be able to create a collaborative watch list/tracker with another user, a shared list that both users can edit. great for people in a long distance relationship who want to watch together remotely and keep track of what they watch together!

Auto drop series after x time
A feature to put series that the users haven't watched after a while to "dropped" this would make the "dropped" status used much more.
Best way would be to let the user decide the "time limit" and if the user wants it or not. It should also only count series that have new aired episodes that the user haven't watched to avoid problems when waiting for a new season.

Full support for Spanish language and Bilingual content
Spanish is the fastest growing language in the USA and is also one of the fastest growing languages in the world. A great deal of this content is available with English audio or subtitles.
Many streaming platforms are adding a lot of Spanish and/or Bilingual content (Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, etc.) due to the increase in market share.
This is a great way to increase both Simkl's content and user base!
With more than 37 million speakers, Spanish is by far the most spoken non-English language in the U.S. today among people ages 5 and older. It is also one of…9 votes -
More info on ended or cancelled shows
After I end a season of a show first thing I want to know is will there be another season.. perhaps a like to sites like ismyshowcancelled.com or similar. Maybe even a feed back on should it be cancelled or why was it cancelled.
Also on web page that asks for rating.. why can’t you link to the show directly to give it the rating.. or rate right there..
Also need choice to remove anime something I don’t use.
