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…4 votes -

Episode Count Improvements
UK TV shows often air specials, especially Christmas Specials. Since they're not part of any season, these specials do not count toward the show's episode count. But they should!
The specials on TVDB used to be a mess, but have recently been organized and categorized. Any special listed as an "Episodic Special" is a valid episode of the show, and should be counted in the show's episode count.
Furthermore, Unassigned Episodes are currently counted, but shouldn't be!

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!

Notification when TV Series ends or is resurrected
When the final episode of a TV Series airs, or when a TV series is cancelled, its status changes from Continuing to Ended (on TVDB and on Simkl). Inversely, when a TV Series that was considered to have ended, is rebooted or resurrected, the status changes from Ended back to Continuing. In both cases, it would be very helpful to receive a notification of such a major event in the lifecycle of a show.
Since Simkl has already implemented notifications, adding a notification when the status of a TV Series changes (from Continuing to Ended or vice versa) should be…

Auto update new seasons of completed/watching anime into my watch list.
Just like how when tv shows release new seasons simkl auto combines them and informs you there's new episodes to watch.
Currently with anime I get no notifications new seasons are out and it doesn't automatically go into my watch list.

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?)16 votes -

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.

Ratings/Stars should also have a word value like MAL
When you hover over the stars to rate a show, the associated star should also have a word value just like in MAL.
e.g.
10* Masterpiece
9* Great
8* Very good
7* Good
6* Fine
5* Average
4* Bad
3* Very Bad
2* Horrible
1* Appalling26 votes -
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.

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
