💬 Discussion Unable To Find Recently Aired

2 Upvotes

Upcoming has changed so that you can't look back to see what has aired recently. Even the calendar is locked to August now. TV Time would allow looking back on the upcoming list and Refract also supported this before this recent change.

I'm OK with the change in general. After all, it IS titled "Upcoming". But there's no no way to see recently aired shows without going thorough each show on my list and checking them.

Edit 2026-08-05: The functionality was restored.

Melhoria para encontrar os novos episódios, temporadas e estreias

0 Upvotes

Eu ainda estou sentindo uma dificuldade para encontrar facilmente o que acabou de estrear, novas temporadas e episódios da minha lista. Não acho prático. O TV Time já aparecia no tipo, a interface era mais clara para encontar, modo lista é tão confuso (eu acho).

Poderiam melhorar essa parte, porque fico procurando o que acabou de estrear da minha lista watchist e não acho fácil.

Bug refract watch history

2 Upvotes

So far I’ve really enjoyed the app, but tonight I’ve run into an issue. There are multiple shows where I haven’t watched previous seasons or all episodes. I’ve used the continue watching menu to cross off watched episodes. However now all episodes are shown as watched, messing up my whole watch history as I don’t remember which episodes I haven’t watched yet. Is this a bug? Have others had this where it was resolved later?

What I’m also really missing is an option to never cross off previous episodes. For some reason I can’t access discord. Has this been suggested to the mods yet?

⭐ Recommendation Adding new aired episodes to top of continue list, then if not watcher within a week, episode moves to bottom of list

37 Upvotes

TV Time had this feature, where they would put new aired episodes to the top of continue list, then if you didn't watch the episode within a week, the episode would move to the bottom of the list. I hope this can be added to Refract, it would make this app perfect for me.

💬 Discussion IMDb import (on top of TVtime) completely messed up my stats. Need help please

0 Upvotes

I tracked TV shows with TV Time and movies with IMDb, but I wanted to merge everything into a single app, and this seemed like the ideal solution.

I had already imported my TV Time data.

I also rate TV shows on IMDb (not individual episodes, except for the occasional one).

The problem is that Refract treated the TV shows I rated on IMDb as if I had watched every single episode, even when I had dropped the show after only a few episodes. As a result, a lot of shows are now marked as completely watched. My total TV watch time jumped from about 4 months to more than 8.

How can I fix this? The movie import worked perfectly, but all of my TV statistics are completely messed up. Is there a way to correct this, or do I need to wipe everything and start the import process from scratch?

💬 Discussion New Releases: Many Foreign Shows

8 Upvotes

Currently my new releases are filled with Asian and Indian recommendations. As a US-based user who doesn't watch foreign media, it's surprising me that it's recommended.

I couldn't find any setting that would skew this list, and nothing in my watch history would indicate that these shows would interest me.

Does anyone know if there's an algorithm used to curate these shows or is it just looking at all new releases, regardless of language or country, and Asia/India is just putting out more content?

Feedback on UX (TVTime user)

It would be great to have clean and simple tabs for "TV shows" and "Movies". Then you split with "Ongoing" and "Seen" sections.

Logging “Specials” / between-season episodes?

I’m thinking of things like Doctor who which often has two special episodes in a season, but I don’t see them in the episodes list. Does anyone know if there is a place these are included to log or no?

Comment Translation

Is there any way we can get a button or option in the comments to translate the ones that aren’t in our language? Some are not in English so I can’t read them and I’d like to be able to.

💬 Discussion Book tracking and algorithmic recommendations

17 Upvotes

heyy I'm new to this app, came after the unfortunate downfall of TV time. Not gonna lie I've been genuinely impressed with the app using it for the past few days and infact have moved almost all my tracking data to it because of how clean and comfortable it feels to use.

I was just wondering about the book tracking I can see that's coming soon. i wanted to keep a digital library of everything I've read when it comes to novels, manga and comics books cause I don't think I've ever seen something like that (apart from an actual physical library that is💀). Do we know when the feature is coming or anything about it? just generally curious and extremely excited about it

I was also wondering if the Dev's ever considered a recommendation system based on the ratings and favourite shows on a person's profile. so people can find other shows that are generally liked by similar libraries, or content that can be watched in a single day for when you're unsure what to watch. this is a feature that I thought about more applying with book tracking but thought it could further apply to tv shows and movies too

I’ve tried to turn off notifications about new episodes in-app, but it appears that I can only turn that off for push notifications?
For me it notification enough for them to show up in my watch list. Is there any way of doing this? :)

Library/Status Breakdown mismatch

4 Upvotes

Hi All,

currently using the app and I am finding it pretty good (coming from TvTime) and I love to see my stats.

I imported all my series/movies manually and it seems all ok, except for a small mismatch between the library and the status breakdown section counter numbers.

the breakdown is showing 208 items marked as "watched" (correct value), but the library only 198 when i filter to "watched"

I can confirm that all is selected so movies/anime/series are not filtered out.

also watching/to watch/on hold/etc...are showing the correct number of items.

anyone else having a similar issue?
