Sequel checker (missing in franchise)
I would like SIMKL to implement something like this site https://anicheck.moe/ where you have a thing that shows you everything in franchises you missed for any movie, tv show or anime

Ignore tags while generating recommendation
I kinda would like if I can make recommendations ignore specific tags when generating
because everytimes it fills it with christmas movies and talking animals movies which I just don't watch and don't want to watch (maybe with even possibility to still have sequels in)1 vote -
Social Watch Activity: Which Friends Are Watching / Recently Watched Episode or Film
I would love to see SIMKL introduce a more social “watch activity” system for movies, TV episodes, and anime episodes.
Right now, we can already see friend ratings, but it would be amazing if SIMKL expanded this into real-time and recent viewing activity.
1. Show who is currently watching
For a movie, TV episode, or anime episode, display:
- Which users are currently watching it
- How many people are currently watching
- How many of your friends (followers/following) are currently watching
Example:
- “63 people watching”
- “5 of your friends are watching now”
This would make SIMKL feel much more alive and social.

Basic Age Protection
currently a minor can log on to the front page and be exposed to R18+ show posters/titles
it would be great to at least add protection where they can select thier age before the site loads and have the website only show age appropriate shows to the age they selected.
it does not have to be invasive and have awful age verification nonsense included, it just needs to give consent back to the viewer so they can't accidentally see things they did not want to.
i have also seen improvement ideas on this forum about adding hentai and other nsfw…

Show rating hints everywhere
When you go to rate an item from your unrated page at https://simkl.com/YOURUSERID/history/ratings/?unrated=1 there is a really helpful tooltip giving a description of each star rating.
It would be great if this was shown throughout the UI any time we go to rate an item.
I've attached a screenshot of what it looks like in case it was unclear what I'm referring to.

Dub completion notifications + dub filter and infos in general
Hey! I was referred here by Azmarine from the forum. I'm a VIP member and honestly one of those people who recommends SIMKL to basically everyone I know, so this comes from a good place!
There's one thing that's been genuinely frustrating me for a while though. I watch a lot of shows and anime dubbed, and SIMKL only notifies me when something finished airing, not when the dub is done. It sounds minor but it really isn't. I get excited about a new show or season, start watching, get invested after like 4 episodes and then the dub just…

A Calendar option that shows when Dub is released
Currently the the calendar only shows when the sub episodes of a show are released. It would be cool if there was a filter to show only when the dub is released.

Daylight saving time bug?
With the current daylight saving time, I noticed all the time stamps from the stuff I watched also moved forward one hour. Can this be fixed?

Add option to list only free streaming, not ones you have to pay for.
I love that I can choose movies that are already streaming so I can easily pick my next movie for the night. I also love that I can choose all the apps I have and it tells me where I can watch the movie I want. What I would love is to be able to see which movies are free on one of the streaming apps I already have, rather than having to click on the movie and then finding out that it's on Prime but I have to pay $19.99 to stream it.

When I'm searching for new movies/series to watch, I wish it was easier to find them at the BEGINNING of the story
When I'm searching for new movies/series to watch, I wish it was easier to find them at the beginning of the story... what do I mean by that? In a nutshell, I just mean that I would love to be able to filter out all sequels. Why? Because right now, my user experience looks something like this:
1) I run a search for something new to watch... that is to say, I filter out everything that is "on my list".
2) I order the results by average user rating.
3) Now, let's suppose, just for the sake of the example,…

See all comments posted by a user similar to how History works
Would be great if we had an option to view all comments (that we leave) just as we can view our history, similar to a certain website called trakt.tv (which has recently gone to shaite, unfortunately) excuse my language, silly me.
But anyhow, viewing all of our comments plus the ability to import them from trakt would be a huge plus, thanks!12 votes -
Where to Buy (DVDs, Bluray, Disc, Streaming Gift Cards)
The current Shop tab mainly redirects to external sites, which limits usability and comparison.
With the growing interest in physical media (DVD, Blu-ray, collector editions), this section could be expanded into a more useful, integrated experience.
What I am looking for is:
Unified Listings: Show all available editions (DVD, Blu-ray, 4K, collector sets) in one place
Price Comparison: Compare prices across multiple stores directly (with Price Graph)
Stock Alerts: Notify users when items are back in stock or drop in price
Region-Based Availability: Filter by country and disc region compatibility
Advanced Filters & Sorting: Filter by price, edition, store rating,…

manually specified sorting of My Custom Lists
I would like to be able to sort my lists in a specific order. I don't mean the contents within a list, but rather my own custom lists, so that I can say that list F and list Z should appear in positions 1 and 2 when I call up the “My Lists” menu item, without having to number all the lists myself and then sort them alphabetically.
trakt.tv has this feature (still on the web) before it is removed from the new unusable UI in the distant future.7 votesRight now, you are able to Pin custom lists (click 3 dots in the list of your lists), and each new pin goes up to the first level above all other pins.

Show voice actors etc. based on the users set language
Pay tribute to those whose voices make not only Animes come to life, but also transfer jokes to our mother tongue. Never ask yourself again where you know that voice from.
Sorted or filtered by language, maybe a setting in the user settings that uses the browsers language as default. Fallback could be English.

Apple TV and Android TV app
Please make an app for Apple TV. Something like SIMKL Lists adapted to tvOS from iOS would be adequate. But ideally something more along the lines of what Trakt provides in their 2 series apps. Ideally I could replicate the flows I currently use w/ Trakt.
- Ability to navigate to a show/movie, view seasons, and individual episodes.
- a button from the series, season, or episode to watch the show -- pressing watch button on show would pop up either the first season or first ep in app or Plex or Infuse -- pressing watch button on season would drop you…
