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

Personal recommendations based on personal ratings
Currently, Simkl generates recommendations based on what you've watched. It would be much better to build recommendations based on personal ratings. For example, I don't want to see something similar that I marked as 1-5, for example, which is kind of more logical.

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)
Rating History…

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…

Multiple profiles in one account
I would love to have 2 profiles in my account. At this moment I have the SImkl account for content I've seen in English language. And additionally I have a trakt account for content I've seen in my own language (German). To combine it in one account would be a dream for me!

Weekday names
When visiting https://simkl.com/tv/today/ and scrolling backwards through time, start off clicking "Yesterday", then "Previous Day" repeatedly. That's not easy, because the target keeps bouncing around under the mouse pointer. Two ways to make this better: 1) Put "Previous Day" on the left and "Next Day" on the right, with the date in the middle. 2) Keep all the weekday names the same size by either abbreviating to three letters or space-filling the shorter ones (i.e. Sunday is "{sp}{sp}{sp}Sunday" so it's the same length as "Wednesday")

UX enhancement - Unify the search box
Summary : Users are dumb, help them and reduce the simkl teams support workload.
The vast majority of support threads are along the lines of "My show/movie/animie" is not listed
🔹 Missing - 68 support threads
🔹 Missing Movie - 244 support threads
🔹 Missing tv show - 358 support threadsIf the search results were unified i.e. searching for "Utopia" gives the result for the TV Show, The Movie and The Anime, in one place, reducing the number of "my thing is missing / please add it" threads would be reduced.
Lets assume that most users will…
