Watch progress
As part of our new filtering system, we wanted to tackle our most popular feature request with watch progress filters.
You can now filter your watchlist and shows by how much progress you've made:
-
Not started
is for shows you've added but haven't watched any episodes of -
In progress
is for shows you've started and are in the middle of watching -
Caught up
is for shows you've watched all available episodes of -
Finished
is for shows you're caught up on and that have ended

Filter, sort, and save
Our old filtering system was confusing for many members, so today we're introducing a brand new system!
On any filterable page, tap the new
Filter
button in the top right to bring up all possible filter settings.There's also a new handy
Sort
button right next to it to quickly change the order of results.Some pages, like your watchlist, will save your filters for the next time you open the app! No more re-entering the same few filters every time.
Search from anywhere
We've made it easier than ever to start a search in Marathon. Simply tap the
Search
button from anywhere and start typing.We redesigned search to be an immersive experience, and when you're done you're popped right back to where you started.
The new results screen will show our most popular item at the top — you can quickly navigate to it with your
return
key!Otherwise, you can dive into a specific category (either shows, members, or lists) and page through all the results.

Data import is now in beta!
One of our most requested features is now live: imports!
Starting today, you can now perform a one-time import of your data from an existing Trakt account. We won't just pull shows, but also any reviews, lists, and users you follow.
During this beta phase, we're only allowing one import per user, though this may change over time.
We're excited to get this into your hands and see how you like it! If you have another app you'd like to see, let us know with a feature request.

We're now bringing this functionality across the entire app! Simply long press on a series, episode — you name it! — and you'll be presented with a rich menu with quick actions.

Show navigation
We're making it easier to dive into shows.
Seasons now have their own pages in the app! It'll now be easier to tell when you're on a season page or a show.
We also added a floating toolbar to the bottom every episode and season page, allowing you to quickly jump to the previous or next one.
And we couldn't forget about the gestures. Simply swipe left or right on an episode and season page to navigate to the previous or next one.

Website refresh
When people asked us what Marathon was, we realized we didn't have a place to direct people for answers.
Today, we're re-introducing the Marathon homepage with a fresh coat of paint! From our new site, you can now:
- quickly access download links
- read up on frequently asked questions
- or check out the latest changes to the app.
And of course, the web app is always available at /feed.
