Soon: The social watchlist Examine App

Love it!

It wouldnt let me in, it just would say I was logged out as soon as I would login.

You need to know someone who has an account to send you an invite, or you are stuck in limbo waiting for soon to send you one. My advice give 🧡 “LikeWise” a try it tells you where you can find movies/shows to stream, how long they are, books, the number of pages, where you can buy them, & podcasts & where you can find them, as well as giving you recommendations on what you have liked, all while not having you sit around waiting for a responses that will probably never happen in a timely manner

So far the 4 new restaurants in LA I have imput are not in the system.. it needs to be current.

I’ve been waiting forever and can’t get in to have an account. Terrible onboarding.

I love this app and the functionality in general. I have used it regularly for about a year to track books, movies, podcasts and tv shows. However, I have shared it with a few friends lately and that’s where my frustration has been. They can’t download the app and/or get in without an invite - and I have tried over and over again in every way possible to invite them but to no avail. So all upsell about the SOON app and the sharing of lists is all for not. Not only can they not download it themselves (why?? Don’t you want more people to use it?) but we definitely can’t share or collaborate anymore. I’m almost wondering if this app is in its dying days and not being supported anymore as it seems to me that this should be the core of what it does- allow people to download and use with or without invite - and then require an invite for collaborations only. Would love an update from the developer to know their plans as I definitely need to get my lists off if it’s going to be shut down soon. Otherwise, PLEASE PLEASE fix the access and invite so others can starting using and sharing, cuz when it’s working it’s awesome!!! Thanks and hope to hear an update! 🙏

Crashes each time I try to add a new city list… can you please fix? I love this app and want to continue using it 🙏🏻

I recommended this to a friend and he tried to download the app from Apple. It wouldn't let him do that without having an invitation. I tried to invite him from my app and that's where everything crashes. there's no way of just inputting his contact information without downloading all of my contacts.. It wants me to import contacts, (I don't think so! ) how do they expect to get more customers? It's too bad cause I really like this little app.

So I first used this app when a friend recommended it, loved it. Recommended it to everyone, tried to use it a few months ago, logo had changed, and it said they need access to my contacts to see if someone could invite me to use!!!! I’m not sure if this is a glitch in your system but don’t you want EVERYONE to use it!! Very disappointed as this was a great app to use. Please fix problem, I’m still waiting for my invite!!

Love this app for keeping lists but with the relaunch, something seems amiss. It’s taking a long time to load and asking for more info (phone, email, username, etc.) before starting. It’s already been several minutes and I can’t open the app to see the lists that I created over several years. Is this normal?

Soon updated its App and then wouldn’t access all the movies, series, etc that I stored and I’ve lost it all. I’m going elaewhere

It seems like an amazing app. I see from the other reviews they’ve taken the time to tend to the quirks… Now…. Why they haven’t added the option of creating your own lists… is beyond me. That seems like an obvious feature to include. Include it as well as give the option to hide and show each individual list. And share them as well. I know that having friends is a thing on the app. But what if you have multiple friends (likely)? A partner? This could be such a great relationship tool if the option to customize lists were there. Please make that a thing. It’s odd that it isn’t.

My NEW bucket list is : 1. Delete this app immediately 2. Find a better bucket list app elsewhere

Good app to keep track of things I want to read/watch.

Love the app!! Great for keep lists of things you want to do or try so you don’t forget!! Perfect for helping plan out date nights...but it no longer works or functions properly! Used to use this app all the time so me and my honey would never run out of things to do or see. And so we wouldn’t forget about places we've been thinking about checking out or following friend’s recommendations. Now it’s just a useless app that needs to be deleted. (Unless it gets the update it so desperately needs.) if anyone has any good replacement apps that’d be great!

Use this app all the time to keep track of lists and find it super helpful! However, it stopped working after updating to iOS 14 and now the search never returns any results. Please fix if you can! 🙏🏽

I’ve used this app for years and love it. It’s a great way to carry around a list of movies and tv shows you want to see, and have already seen, which really helps when someone asks you, “what are you watching that’s good?” It also has a clean aesthetically a appealing look. But lately I’ve noticed it’s finding less and less poster art for entries. I’m hoping there’s a fix on the way? Also, it would be incredible if there was a way to find/edit the art on a title (for art that the app can’t find) the way you can with a profile pic. Thanks!

I have always tracked these things on sticky notes and then in OneNote but this is way better. Linking to friends lists is another added benefit.

The search has always been bad for me. Trying to find games is terribly hard. Sometimes it spins forever, most of the time it just finds nothing. Rarely it hits. The idea is great if they could just make the search work; seems like a solvable issue.

This is a good idea but it’s clunky. Can’t navigate. It freezes at least on the iPad. Need a way to distinguish between books, ebooks, and audiobooks. I deleted it, maybe will try it at a later date.

I just downloaded the app. Love the idea. Was looking for something to track restaurants (places to go and places I have been). Really need to be able to write notes (how I learned about it, what I ate, etc.) and indicate when I visited. I’m sure this functionality could be used for other categories as well.

The idea and app is nice but it needs improvement. It’s slow and makes my phone warmer. It needs improvement to run smoother but other than that i love it

I really love this app. I’ve been using it for over 3 years now and it’s still my favorite💓 But I have a little suggestion to make it even better, I just always wished that I could see the exact date to whenever I added an item to my list or when did I checked it done! It could be so much better this way. Also it’ll be good if it could tell how many item I have on each list because sometimes I wanna know but there’s way so many items to count it myself! Otherwise, I really love it and appreciate your work, thank you💕

I loved this app and have been using it for a few years. I really only used it for movies and had probably over 200 movies logged and reviewed. Recently I tried to get on the app and rate a movie I watched and I was not able to search for it. It just said nothing with this title found or something like that. I also went to see what I rated a movie I saw a while back and when I scrolled down I could only go so far. I’m not sure if all of my data has been lost or if it’s just not loading but either way I can’t see my stuff. That’s really disappointing because I loved this app because it help me keep track of so many movies. There’s no way I can make another list as cumulative as this one was so it’s pretty upsetting.

It says there was an update three weeks ago. But this app has completely stopped working. Is it done, or is this a bug? I can’t search any new things. I can only see my current lists.

Hi! Super excited to create my lists, been using this for a few days now and its become like my personal checklist! I wish though, that when I was “done”with something I’d have the option to have it in my list just to see how much I’ve been able to accomplish. Or like a graph to show how much of my bucket list I have covered! I also wish there were ways to customize the way the list was laid out, like A-Z, by the names of authors/directors, by continents (for cities), by location(for places) etc, just to make our lives easier and when planning our itinerary or when looking at the list in one click glance! Otherwise, CANNOT WAIT to make this my go to for everything in my bucket!

I have been trying to find the perfect bucket list app and it’s impossible. This app is the best that is out there but it still leaves me wanting more. It’s missing personalization. The lists are generic and I want to create my own lists. My husband I are currently on a pursuit to hike all waterfalls in the SE and visit all the lighthouses on the east coast. I’d love to create separate lists for those. But I can’t.

This is app is perfect for curing my FOMO! Highly recommend it to all my friends :)

Used to love this app, but for the past week or so, when I search it only shows trending items. If it’s not fixed soon, it’ll be time to delete the app.

. . It needs some work. I don’t usually review apps but I really wanted to like this as the concept beats out other ways I have tried to keep lists or things/places in one place that I want to do or see or visit. The biggest issue is that it doesn’t pick up global listings outside the US. Have searched for restaurants in (for example) Sydney and the search just returns US listings with a similar word. When I try to add it manually the app just simply closes and I have to start again. Based on other reviews it seems like these developers have a cool concept but maybe need to tweak it a little more.

Agree with all the reviews on the app benefits and usability. Only issue is that I would like to add an item with a personal comment to remind me of who recommended the item like the book or movie, etc.

I love this app! The next Instagram app!!!!

I was giving this app a “trial run” by using it without setting up an account. It worked well for six months. Today it told me “it appears you have not been using Soon without an account. Try logging in . . . “ Of course, I HAVE been, but it appears all my data is gone. Ouch.

I would love to use this app and have my friends join in. But every time I try to add something, it says oops. Please fix soon!

It does everything I need it to do and everything it’s supposed to do.

This app has so much potential and I’ve recommended to so many friends, but it needs some work!! I’ve had it for a few years using with limited functionality in hopes that it will get revamped. Recently, when searching for a specific restaurant/shop in a City List or category, the app won’t search and will only show the trending spots in that area, not allowing me to add the spot I’m truly looking for. Also agreed with other users that you should be able to delete categories/city lists and add customized categories. In my dream world, the app would also allow me to add notes to items in my lists so that I can remember who recommended something or what menu item I shouldn’t miss at a restaurant, etc. then when I’ve done something I would also be able to make notes of what I loved or didn’t love about the place so I can remember for when I go back or recommend to other people. With these updates, this app would be a dream!!

I have seen some bad comments for this app but mine was just great! It gives me good recommandations. 👍

Couldn’t search for games for over a year, now movie searches don’t work. In between those, adding movies didn’t work. It’s literally just a list app and it cannot create or populate lists?

I wish it had a little more depth. Like everyday leading up to life goals also. I like the suggestions.

I really love this idea and hope they fix it! I immediately added one city that I’m hoping to visit...and it created two versions of that list for no discernible reason. There’s no option to delete lists, so now they both pop up every time I add a restaurant/attraction saying “which list do you want to add this to?” Functionally doesn’t change the app but bugs me to see the same city listed twice and to have to remember whether I am using the first one or the second one. It does have a “hide” option on the main list page but that doesn’t remove the duplicate as an option when I’m adding attractions to the list.

Pleas add Touch ID/Face ID/remember me login - especially since the app logs out every couple of weeks.

If they fix the issue the app would be worth 5 stars. I’m a new user, so I just downloaded the app and was hoping to use it. As I start adding things it seems to work fine, but I noticed that after I add about 3 things to a list the screen freezes. I try closing it and try starting over but it won’t allow me. I quit the app and try reloading it and it still wouldn’t work. So I quit, waited awhile and tried opening the app back up and it worked fine. I started adding more things, after I added 3 movies it froze again and the same thing happened. Repeated the process of trying to get the app to work and the exact same thing happens the 3rd time. I love the concept, but unfortunately it won’t allow me to use the app without lagging or freezing.

Not all bucket lists are created equal. More than 75% of the built in categories are useless to me. Although I can turn them off, there is no way to add categories that are useful to me. I want to like and use this app, but without such basic functionality it remains useless to me. I only keep it on my phone to check updates to see if the developers finally get around to making it an app with broad appeal versus a niche app.

Love this app! I’d love to see a category for breweries!

Well organized app guys. I’m certain that SOON will evolve over time. I’d love to see more built in ideas for our bucket list. :-)

I relied on this app and I loved it - recommend it to all my friends! But it keeps logging me out of my account and now it won’t connect to my Facebook account, which is where all my information is saved. Incredibly disappointed. I lost all my info and “saves.” I hate to say it, but the app can’t be trusted.

The whole concept is great but you can't add anything to the done side without posting it on fb maybe I don't want to do that. 👎🏻

Beautiful app that’s intuitive and helpful. It would, however, be great if we were given the option to add in other categories such as events and festivals.

I love the concept of this, but I encounter a tech glitch with it almost every day. Today it won't even open beyond the home screen. This could have been great, if only the developers had taken the time to make sure it actually worked properly before releasing it.

Good luck getting the app to work!!!! At first, I loved this app. But in recent weeks every time I want to use it, it’s offline or otherwise inaccessible.

Seems like a bug
