How to set up Trakt.tv on Kodi and Firestick apps
What is Trakt?
Trakt.tv is a free to use media tracking service that helps users sync their Movies and TV Shows across many platforms and devices. Trakt can keep a history of everything you have watched. If you add a Movie or TV Show to your favorites or watchlist Trakt will automatically sync that to your favorites across all the Movie streaming services you are using as long as that service supports Tract. This is considerably easier than manually checking and trying to remember everything you’re watching and where you left off. Plus, Trakt keeps a record of your watching activities and will recommend new content based on your viewing history.
