About the Project:
As a cinephile, the idea came after I started losing control of all the movies I wanted to track and watch. The process was too overwhelming as an endless amount of movies get released constantly.
Keeping up with upcoming new movies and quickly accessing my watchlists was too cumbersome with the apps that were available. I won't say that all apps were unusable because that would be unfair.
In fact, before I even thought about starting my project, I used one of the apps for over a year but it still didn't meet my demands.
After researching for quite some time, I came across the Trakt API which I decided to build my app upon. It is a very rich and well-supported project so kudos to the developers who keep on improving and expanding their feature set.
In addition to having the idea, I also wanted to experiment with having a clean and intuitive user interface while at the same time keeping the user experience fun and enjoyable.
This led me to Google's Material Design repository which I found to be well documented most of the times.
The project kicked off starting November 2015. It was my first time handling a project with all its complexities so I had to learn quite much on the way. I discovered that a project is much more than Code and Design.
It is, in summary, an endless stream of modification, debugging, feedback collection, team management, task and priority assignment, marketing research and much more.
It is an exhaustive process if you are a small team and it is quite necessary that you learn when to take a break, recollect your thoughts and start fresh again.
The project's initial intention and core concept was to allow users to access their watch lists, discover movies and above all that, provide a certain motive for users to watch movies and conquer their backlog.
I will keep the motivation mechanics as a surprise for the community to discover
The app later expanded on much more features which I will list a few below:
Check-into and rate movies
Curated Lists and Special Movie Categories
Collection building
Access to movie details (Check ratings from multiple sources, trailer, genre, duration, cast, direct links to popular movie resources)
User Statistics
Read and post movie reviews
Interact with Trakt's large community (Follow your friends and check their watching activities, ratings, and reviews)
and much more ...
Testing Phase:
I am certain that there are many experts on the Xda community which are more than capable of providing constructive feedback on what works best.
This is the reason I am here and why I decided to expose the app for the first time on the XDA community.
I am currently running an internal alpha test and currently looking for more testers.
If you are interested in taking part, then please feel free to PM me or post here and I will get back to you ASAP.
App Distribution:
The app is FREE but comes with a pay what you want IAP that will act as support for the team. We still have many features which we are working and expanding on.
Release Date:
October 2017
TLDR
I just finished creating a movie discovery and tracking app which helps users manage their watchlists. The app integrates with TRAKT making it easy to synchronize all movie activities. The app also provides motivation mechanics which reward you for watching movies and taking back control of your watchlists.

I'm testing your app... I saw that if I go under an movie page example Thor Ragnarok it doesn't have a trailer yet but still YouTube is loading instead it should give a message that it doesn't have a trailer or YouTube/trailer section should be hidden for such movies and What I see is only one trailer for movies it should show all available trailers if possible..... I like the UI and advertising placement is good. I Liked that we can quickly access our watchlist. It's little irritating that if we want to remove any movie from watchlist there is no direct option we have to click on same button simultaneously.
A new update is out !
Please check the first 2 posts for the changelog.
Would love to test this out!
