TikTok is once again available in Apple's App Store and Google's Play Store in the United States. The app disappeared from both Apple and Google's stores January 19, 2025, as a nationwide ban took effect. Briefly.
What will ultimately happen to TikTok remains unclear. President Trump wants to strike a "deal" that will allow the company to remain operational in the US, including arrangements that would give the US government a stake in the company.
You know who's probably furious? Every other social media company.

That's where an app called Trakt comes in. Trakt can tell you where to watch pretty much any streaming show or movie, but it can also remember how much of a series you've watched and keep you in the loop on new episodes.
While Trakt has been around since 2010, it recently added a way to automatically track what you're watching across a half-dozen major streaming services. It's a key differentiator from other streaming guide apps, such as Reelgood and JustWatch, whose show-tracking features require you to manage your watch history manually. The feature is part of Trakt's VIP subscription, which costs $6 per month or $60 per year.
I received a temporary VIP membership to try out the automatic tracking, and while there's bunch more I'd like to see from Trakt before paying that toll myself, it's a promising glimpse at how streaming guides ought to work.
