I would love to integrate Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic into the app.
Unfortunately, this would cost us a fee of 50,000$/year for Rotten Tomatoes and 48,000$/year for Metacritic, which is clearly too much.
Adding content without a license would cause the app to be blocked in the Google Play Store.
The most displayed data comes from The Movie Database and Trakt.
All of the show and movie information in Moviebase is pulled from The Movie Database (TMDB), a
community-built database. Movies and series you find on TMDB website can also be found in the
app. If the information is wrong or missing, you can:
1. Create a TMDB account and update the information yourself
2. Create a TMDB account and ask ask a moderator to update the show for you using the TMDB forum
3. Create a thread on the Moviebase discussion board.
Changes made to the TMDB should reflect in the Moviebase app within 24 hours.
If you have any questions about this, feel free to contact us at support@moviebase.app.
I would love if you contribute new data for Moviebase. You can find more information on TMDB bible.
The movie and episode release dates are restricted to the original release in the country of
origin.
If the release country is known, Moviebase assumes the release date is in a time zone of this
country (for example Eastern Time for US shows and Central European Time for German shows). Then
it is converted to your device time zone.
If the release country is not known, Moviebase will assume the country to be the United States
of America.
You can view the country in detailed show information.
If the displayed country is not correct it can be changed at the data source.
If the country is correct, but you believe the release time is incorrectly converted in
Moviebase, please send a message.
Moviebase loads the data in your language from The Movie Database. If an overview isn’t translated in your language then the app uses English as a fallback.
The watchlist contains items a user want to watch in the future. Once watched, they are auto
removed from this list.
When the TV show is in the history list and progress then the user has started to watch
episodes. But that does not mean that the series has been seen completely.
It could also happen that new episodes will be released.
In this case, it would be mess up lists if the TV show goes back to the watchlist automatically.
History: All watched items (check-ins, watched) for a user.
Collection: Items a user has available to watch including Blu-Rays, DVDs, and digital downloads.
Watchlist: Items a user wants to watch in the future. Once watched, they are auto removed from
this list.
Personal lists: Custom list for any purpose. Items are not auto removed from any custom lists.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to show IMDB ratings on the list. It is only possible to query individual ratings on the detail page.
Yes. Go to your progress page and press the overflow menu of the desired item you want to hide. Click on the item „Hide this TV show“.
Tip You can load hidden items from your Trakt account. Go to the account profile page and click on the menu item „Load hidden items“.
Yes, you can disable the switch „Show waiting and ended TV shows“ in More > Settings > Calendar.
Liked lists from other users are not supported yet, but I’m working hard to provide this feature in the future.
TV shows might not be displayed on the progress page. In most cases, Moviebase couldn’t fetch TV shows through the Trakt synchronization.
This reason is that Trakt and Moviebase use different data sources for TV shows. Trakt obtains the data mainly from TVDB, whereas Moviebase gets the content from TMDB. Both platforms could have missing or wrong IDs for a successful mapping.
How you can fix it by yourself is written here.
Trakt and Moviebase use different data sources for TV shows, seasons and episodes. Trakt obtains the data mainly from TVDB, whereas Moviebase gets the content from TMDB. Both platforms could have a different grouping of episodes.
If only an episode is missing in the app then you can add it on TMDB directly.
To combine the content between Trakt and Moviebase it is important that both platforms have the necessary IDs.
First, you should check if the IDs are available on Trakt. To do so, go to your desired movie or series. Under the poster, you can see the available services.
- For movies, TMDB and/or IMDB must be present.
- For series, TMDB and/or TVDB must be present.
If the IDs are missing then Trakt has to update the data. To do this press the button ""Refresh Data"". Contact us if you cannot use this VIP functionality or the IDs are already available.
In order for Trakt to find the right data, it is recommended to add the missing IDs on the TMDB website as well. To do this, go to your movie or series on the TMDB website and click the ""Edit"" button under the „Overview"" tab. Then you can add all missing IDs in the ""External IDs"" section.
Now you have to wait a few hours :) Thank you very much for your contribution!
Moviebase uses the TV shows from TMDb and sometimes the episodes are not the same as Trakt has. Could you mention which TV shows aren't correctly displayed?
If you can't connect (white screen, error message), Trakt may currently be unreachable (check status.trakt.tv, @trakt or the Moviebase community for status updates). Please try again later.

Moviebase removes the mark watched function when the user is logged with TMDB, because TMDB doesn’t support watched movies or episodes.
If you want to mark items as watched then you can use the local app account or connect with Trakt.
