It would be awesome if I can use my Trakt login to see witch movies and TV shows I want to watch and even log a new serie or movie with trakt. Maybe with a Siri phrase. “Hey Siri I watched a movie” -> dictate text (title) -> Logs movie to Trakt account.

These are some things I really want to implement, but as it stands the Trakt API requires the client secret to be on display and Trakt advise against this. There are workarounds I’m looking into though. Thanks for the feedback!

Hey, I love this shortcut! and I was curious if it’s possible for you to add streaming option, or a link to other free streaming websites? or maybe make a another shortcut for that which find links of my TV shows and Movies which I’ve in The Watchlist. Thank you!

I would love to implement this, but it would require an API and I’ve yet to find one that achieves this goal.

A cool idea to add would be another option named ‘Newest Releases’ where you will get to pick a movie that just came out through genre or just a list of new movies.

Another cool ideas would be to add a menu to watch the entire movie on a website. Ex: http://bit.ly/2E3thEb

Can we have a setting to skip the fullscreen Poster and "Is this what you're looking for?" prompt?

That prompt is to make sure you’re selecting the correct Movie/TV Show. In order to skip it, you can add the item to the Watchlist, where you will no longer be prompted. I hope that helps.

Or I could know that that's what I'm looking for since the release year and small picture are on the search listings. I also just use it for one-off searches, not a full-time watchlist. The extra flexibility would be helpful.

The feature was present before the images showed in the search results, I’m currently considering removing images from the search as it’s slowed it down expedentially. I’ll take your suggestion into consideration though!

I love this app! Do you have anything similar to keep track of books I want to read?

This is amazing! Great work! Thank you for sharing. Wondering if it’s possible to create a watched list to move from the want to one. Sometimes I can’t remember if I’ve watched a movie and having a list to remind me is nice. Kind of like this: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/19a7ae94a5834706801f86d295a2c40b I don’t know where I got it. There is no “author”. Figure you’ve already done 95% of the work. Should be pretty easy to move from one file to another and add the ratings part
