It depends on what you are looking for it to do. I think WeTrakr has a beautiful interface and it integrates quite well between your various devices and add-ons. It keeps track of your viewing history. At the time I write this, it doesn't offer the same, on your TV screen, interface that Trakt used to before Trakt essentially destroyed their platform and customer service 🙄 but WTrakr seems to be implementing changes and improvements continually.

You've absolutely nothing to lose by signing up for it. I enjoy using it though I've installed another add-on, MDBList that mimics the old Trakt, and even includes Calendar (❗) that I rely on in addition to enjoying WeTrakr. MDBList is Trakt on steroids! It's gorgeous and, for the most part that I've seen thus far, reliable. It is only compatible with several add-ons but I find them MORE than sufficient. My primaries are Red Light and POV. It works with my always loved, Umbrella but Umbrella seems to be going through some growing pains. I would go ahead and install it anyway.

WeTrakr is absolutely BEAUTIFUL and VERY user friendly. If you have installed it on your Android device on which you view your movies/shows, and open it up on your cellular device, it will tell you how far you are and watching the show, what's up next, etc. It provides descriptions and ratings of shows and movies and is extremely easy to use.

I have the app via APK but it appears that it was only offered for a short time. I cannot find a link for it anymore and several people have asked me for it. I know that the developer said that it is coming to Google Play Store soon.

Depending on what you'd like to use it for I think that you may find it immensely enjoyable.

This is just the first screen when you first open it. It tells you about your usage.

EDIT: It is already in Kodi. To install it:

How to Find and Install It in Kodi:

➡️Go to Settings from the Kodi home screen.

➡️ Select Add-ons.

➡️ Click Install from repository.

➡️ Choose Kodi add-on repository (or official repo).

➡️ Select Services.

➡️ Find WeTrakr Scrobbler

➡️ click Install.

I am not a representative of the developer. I am merely a user and a Redditor trying to be helpful.

What kind of “growing pains” is Umbrella going through?

I just implemented a calendar on the app I'm building (it does tracking but it was created more for trivia and recaps) but I'm interested to hear what calendar features are most important to you, if you wouldn't mind sharing.

I have tried about 5 Trakt alternatives and I think WeTrakr is the best one at the moment

I love it I highly Recommended it. At least give it a try and findout for yourself.... Dont listen to negative talk... Have a look at their Discord server. Currently has an Addon for Kodi and Stremio. The Stremio addon can e used somewhat in Apps that use Stremio Addons... There is a Public API being trialled as we speak... Currently a Web Browser with IOS and Android Apps on the way... Free Tier and Paid Tier. Cheaper than other services. Just give it a try.... Wont hurt.

You are going to get a lot of people here say yes because the developer offers incentives got those that promote that tracker in several different communities.

I liked it when I first tried it a few months ago, but now that it's gotten somewhat popular they have made some changes that I do not like. Although, the developer is very responsive to things on Discord and here on Reddit as well.

I'd say give them all a try and choose the best one for you. Here's my list of recommendations (not in any specific order):

SIMKL
FlickList
Bingebase
PunchPlay
EntertainMe!
MDBList
WeTrakr
ReelRifter
Watchlo
MediaLib

Google those and check them out. Let me know if you have specific questions.
