Global/Mixed lists
It would be grate to have mixed lists and not only "TV Shows"/"Anime"/"Movies" lists, but a global one where we could put the 3 types.

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…

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.

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…

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 -
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.

On-site Notification Center for New Releases
Simkl currently supports email and push notifications for new episodes, films, and anime, but some may find these channels overwhelming or easy to miss. E-Mails get buried in crowded inboxes, and mobile push notifications are quickly dismissed and forgotten.
Thus the idea to introduce a dedicated, persistent notification system directly on the Simkl website.
Key Features:
- On-site Notification Center / Meta Box
A clickable icon (e.g. bell) in the header or sidebar showing the number of unread notifications.
- Structured History View
A full-page view listing all past notifications grouped by date and type (TV, anime, movie), with filters…40 votes -
When selecting "Marked as watched" have a confirmation before removing the watch history
Hi there. I've come from Trakt and I'm still getting used to things. When I saw "Marked as watched" on something I had seen, I selected it. The expected result was that it would show me when I had seen it. The actual result was that it unmarked it as watched, and deleted the history. Now I know how it works I'll avoid it, however, I think it would be a good idea to have a "are you sure you want to delete all watch history for this episode/movie?" confirmation.
Maybe even a 5 second timer after where you have…

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.

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.

It would be cool if on your profile you could set your gender as some form of non-binary option.

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.

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.

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…

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,…
