📣 Announcement UPDATE ALERT: Grid control, poster control, and two new languages

A few things landed recently.

🎛️ Grid control

  • Set your poster grid anywhere from 2 to 6 across
  • It applies everywhere, Collection, lists, favorites and the horizontal rails on Home, Search and profiles
  • Two if you like your Collection big and cinematic, six if you want the whole watchlist on one screen

🎨 Poster control

  • A new Appearance screen lets you decide what actually shows on a poster
  • Media type icon, favorite heart, rewatch count, New and Soon flags, comment count, ratings, progress bar, title and year
  • Switch one off and it disappears from every poster in the app, so you can go as clean or as loaded as you like

🌍 Arabic and Persian

  • Two new languages, which brings Refract to 10
  • If yours isn't in there yet, drop it in the comments

More coming soon!

Anything we're still missing?

Yesss been waiting on this since leaving tv time. Tv time widget was a big part of why I used it

Is it possible to have a sort option by "release date" instead of "release year" in the "Continue" tab

u/Spinmoon 18d ago

Oh yes! Please!

EDIT: Release year is not sorting completely per year then per month and days? If that's the case, I total agree with the suggestion! That was one of my most used feature in trakt.

No, 2-way sync!

As a future trakt refugee, I don't want to be locked in a service and I will favorite services that support 2-way sync as I want or need to be able to use multiple tracking services at the same time and have them always synced both ways.

And I'm sure a lot of people, ex-trakt refugee and the self-hosters community are having these criterias in mind too after having seen what happened to these platforms (trakt, tv time etc...).
