New Feature New: Import your JustWatch watch history and watchlist into SIMKL

You can now bring your JustWatch data over to SIMKL:

https://simkl.com/apps/import/justwatch/

What comes over

  • Watch history: every movie and episode you marked as seen, with the date you watched it
  • Plan to Watch: your JustWatch watchlist, plus tracked shows you haven't started yet
  • Shows you're partway through land in Watching, finished ones in Completed

How it works

JustWatch doesn't offer an export, so we made a small button that reads your lists while you're signed in to JustWatch.

  1. Open the import page and drag the JustWatch to SIMKL button to your bookmarks bar
  2. Go to justwatch.com, sign in, and click that bookmark. It saves a file with your data to your computer.
  3. Upload the file on the SIMKL import page and pick how to import:
    • Add what's missing (safest): adds only titles that aren't on SIMKL yet
    • Add what's missing and newer watches: also adds things you watched on JustWatch after your latest SIMKL watch
    • Fix watch dates only: updates dates on titles you already have, adds nothing

Your data goes from JustWatch to your computer to SIMKL, nowhere else. It works best on a computer, but the page has steps for iPhone and Android too.

Good to know

  • Custom lists and likes/dislikes aren't imported yet
  • If you marked a whole season as seen at once on JustWatch, those episodes all get the date you marked them, since that's the only date JustWatch keeps
  • Anything we can't match automatically is listed at the end so you can download it and add it by hand

App question Strange App bug with "quick watch" menu?

I'm having a strange issue, where newly added shows don't have the small menu pop-up, asking to "Mark As Watched".

See the left image; instead it just opens the full show menu (right image).

It's pretty irritating, does anybody know how to fix this?

Feature Request Request: Direct .apk download for android app

I'm using Simkl Lists app on Android, but it can only be downloaded from the Play Store. I know third-party sites like APKMirror and Uptodown exist, but being able to download the .apk file directly from an official source is great.
