How to fix and back-date your watch history in Hobi

A tracker is only as good as it is accurate, and real life does not happen in perfect real time. So Hobi lets you go back and set the record straight. Here is how to make your history match what you actually watched.

Almost nobody taps a button the instant the credits roll. You watch three episodes on a flight, catch up over a long weekend, or realize halfway through a season that you never logged the first one. If your tracker cannot handle that, your stats drift and your calendar quietly starts lying to you.

Hobi is built for how people actually watch. Here are four ways to keep your history honest.

Set the date you actually watched

When you mark an episode as watched, you are not stuck with today. Set the watch date to when it really happened, whether that was last night or three weeks ago. Your history, your timeline and your yearly stats all line up with reality instead of with the day you happened to open the app.

Catch up a whole season in one move

Came back to a show forty episodes behind? You do not have to tap every single one. Pick the episode you are genuinely up to and mark everything watched up to that point in a single move. Hobi fills in the gap behind you without pretending you watched forty episodes today, so your stats stay believable.

Log a rewatch without erasing the first time

Starting a favorite over from episode one is not the same as undoing your history. A rewatch is a new pass through a show, not a delete, so the fact that you have seen it before stays part of your record. Comfort shows can be comfort shows as many times as you like.

Coming from another app? Fix the gaps after import

If you are moving from another tracker, connect Trakt and Hobi pulls your history across. Imports are rarely flawless, so once yours lands you can backdate anything that came in with the wrong date and mark anything that got missed. A few minutes of cleanup and years of watching are finally correct, in one place. Our Trakt sync guide walks through the connection, and if you are coming from TV Time specifically, start with the migration guide.

Why accuracy is the whole point

Every good part of a tracker depends on the history being right. Accurate watch dates mean accurate stats. A correct "up to here" means your next episode is actually your next episode. A clean history means your calendar only shows what you truly have left to watch. Getting it right once pays off every single time you open the app.
