Sequel • Media Tracker

I’ve been using Sequel for several years now and I’m such a huge fan. This starts with the gorgeous design and continues with a feature set that makes tracking shows, movies and games a lot of fun. I have probably tried 10+ tracking apps (mostly for TV) but none could fully satisfy me. Until this came along. Seriously, give it a try, it’s worth it!

I have been using the app Sequel for over a year, and let me tell you, it's an absolute game-changer for anyone who loves movies, series, books, and games. This app has completely transformed the way I keep track of my entertainment choices. Sequel's user-friendly interface makes it a breeze to log and organize all the movies, TV series, books, and games I'm currently indulging in or planning to explore. It's like having a personal assistant for my entertainment life! The categorization and search features are incredibly intuitive, ensuring that I never lose sight of my favorite titles. The app's sleek design and smooth performance are the icing on the cake. It's evident that the developers put a lot of thought into creating an aesthetically pleasing and user-centric experience. In conclusion, Sequel is a must-have app for any entertainment aficionado. Its all-in-one approach to tracking movies, series, books, and games, along with its recommendations and insightful analytics, make it an invaluable tool in my digital arsenal. Kudos to the team behind Sequel for crafting such an amazing and indispensable app!

I've been using Sequel for a while now and it's become one of those apps I can't imagine not having. Currently sitting at 1,400 tracked movies — everything from films I've seen to a watchlist that keeps growing faster than I can work through it. What really makes it click for me is the flexibility. Beyond the standard tracking, I maintain separate lists for movies I actually own physically or digitally, and the notes feature is a quiet little gem — I use it to log which streaming platform a digital copy is on, which saves me a surprising amount of searching. The UI is clean, intuitive, and honestly just pleasant to use. Nothing feels cluttered or overengineered. It does exactly what a movie tracking app should do, and it does it well. If you take your movie watching even remotely seriously, this is the app for it.

Ich habe lange nach so einer App gesucht. Bisher hatte ich 4 Apps zum tracken meiner Medien. Jetzt noch Sequel und AniList. Und so komme ich zu einem Punkt, den ich mir noch wünschen würde: Dedizierte und auf Wunsch aktivierbare, eigene Kategorien für Anime und Manga. Vielleicht könnte man ja sogar eine „AniManga“ Kategorie einführen, wo dann nur innerhalb zwischen Anime und Manga unterschieden wird. Bei Manga wäre es auch big, wenn man dann wie bei AniList nach Kapiteln und Bänden tracken könnte. Damit das geht, müsste die Datenbank der Bücher aber noch erweitert oder geändert werden, da aktuell glaube ich nur auf die in Apple Books verfügbaren Bücher zugegriffen wird? Dadurch fehlt einiges, vor allem Sondereditionen einiger Manga Veröffentlichungen wie Massiv Editionen, Perfect editions etc. Fortschritte in Spielen und Büchern tracken wäre auch nice, bei Serien gibt es das ja schon. Vielleicht bin ich damit alleine, aber ich hoffe sehr, dass hier keine Community Funktionen hinzugefügt werden. Das cleane und minimalistische UI ist einfach absolut perfekt und bedarf nicht mehr. Kurz gesagt freue ich mich sehr diese App gefunden zu haben. Sie ist für meine Anforderungen nahezu perfekt und fast so, wie ich mir eine eigene Tracking App ausgemalt habe und entwickeln würde.

I have to say—Sequel is hands-down the best tracking app I have ever used. As someone who is extremely aesthetic-oriented, I am constantly blown away by the layout and the curated categories. Everything is so incredibly clean and intuitive; it's actually mind-blowing! I've been using the app for a long time now and recommend it to all my friends. That recent update allowing us to hide upcoming seasons and episodes? Total game changer. It makes the interface look even more sleek and manageable. I do have one suggestion that would be the absolute cherry on top: Custom Posters. Sometimes, for more niche books or indie series, the default images are just low-res screenshots rather than the original artwork. Since the app is so beautiful, these stand out in a way that breaks the "vibe." Having the ability to manually change or personalise the poster/cover art would make the experience 100% perfect.

I really want to love Sequel, but the lack of a native macOS version is a dealbreaker for me. Using the iPad catalyst version on a Mac feels unoptimized and clunky. Additionally, the 'freemium' model feels too restrictive. I’m specifically interested in Trakt sync and the streaming availability features, but since these are locked behind a paywall without a trial, I can’t actually test how well they work before committing to a subscription. I’d love to see a 3-day full-access trial instead so users can truly experience the app’s power before paying. Normally I’d downvote to 1 of 5 but since one can see that the app was made with love it’s 4/5 even if I won’t use it :’(
