## Description

Sofa helps you enjoy downtime by tracking shows episode-by-episode, playing podcasts, planning trips, and more — all in one app. Organize with unlimited lists and groups for books, games, movies, shows, podcasts, and beyond, with a flexible progress-tracking experience that shows progress rings on covers for quick, at-a-glance status.

It includes a full-featured podcast player, a planner for trips, tasks, notes, and day-by-day itineraries with weather, budgets, and attachments. Ridiculously powerful lists, data cards, smart filters, and custom fields called Ingredients make it easy to tailor your library. The Logbook records your downtime history, while widgets, unified search, shortcuts, and a customizable tab bar keep everything within reach. Free features cover essentials; paid "Super Sofa" adds advanced planning, reminders, bulk actions, themes, and more.

## Review summary

Users like Sofa as a single hub for tracking media, and appreciate Sofa 5’s progress tracking, search improvements, and flexible lists. The strongest positives are consolidated tracking, good list organization, and logging capabilities. Recurring drawbacks across reviews are data loss and syncing reliability, a high subscription cost with gated features, a bloated UI, and incomplete item support with poor data portability.

### Pros

- Consolidated media tracking across books, movies, TV, games, and apps in a single app.
- Flexible lists with grouping and reordering that support a workflow-oriented use.
- Sofa 5 adds progress tracking, improved search, an upcoming tab, and persistent tab states.
- Useful as a lightweight, focused lists tool for logging recommendations and future reads/watches.
- Ability to rate, annotate, and log items in one place for later recall and planning.

### Cons

- Data loss and reliability issues (items or entire lists disappearing; backup/import failures).
- Cross-device syncing bugs (duplicates, desync, iCloud sync quirks).
- High price and premium features locked behind subscription; perceived poor value.
- Bloated, less intuitive UI and feature creep that harms simplicity.
- Incomplete item database and limited support for oddball formats, plus weak data portability/export options.
