Moviebase Review

Worth it

Should I use Moviebase?

Track movies, TV shows and episode progress with Moviebase for iOS and Android. Keep a watchlist, share favorites and bring your saved watch history. - moviebase.app

· 1 month ago

Buy it if you want a free, polished personal movie/TV tracker with Trakt sync, especially on Android. Skip it if you only log a few titles — a notes app or spreadsheet already covers that.

Confidence

Medium. Based on ~20 public sources: app store listings, Reddit/Trakt forum threads, and comparison sites. Pricing detail beyond free tier is thin; CVE results reviewed were for unrelated products.

Gotchas - check before you buy

Some long-time users report frustration and switching apps — test free tier first

iOS support is newer; third-party comparisons still describe it as Android-only
