Ratings History Page

Track, analyze, and manage every rating you’ve ever given on SIMKL

The Ratings History page is your complete rating ledger.

It records every score you give across TV shows, Anime, and Movies and turns them into a structured, filterable, and analytical timeline of your viewing opinions.

This page is designed for three main goals:

  • To let you check and edit past ratings

  • To help you find anything you forgot to rate


1. Year-Based Rating Archive

Every rating you give on SIMKL is automatically stored under the year it was submitted.

At the top of the page, you can choose a year:

  • 2026

  • 2025

  • 2024 (and so on)

When you select a year, SIMKL instantly shows:

  • How many items you rated that year

  • Every title you scored

  • The exact day you rated it

This allows you to:

  • Revisit your taste from any year

  • See how your preferences evolved

  • Find older ratings without scrolling endlessly

Example:

“You rated 154 items in 2025.”

This makes Ratings History behave like a personal film & series diary, organized by time.


2. Powerful Rating Filters

The Ratings History page is not just a list, it’s a searchable database of your opinions.

a) Type Filter

Filter by:

  • TV Shows

  • Anime

  • Movies

  • Or view everything together

This is especially useful when:

  • You only want to review anime scores

  • Or compare how you rate movies vs shows

b) Rating Filter

You can filter by score range:

  • 9–10 stars (your favorites)

  • 7–8 stars

  • 5–6 stars

  • 1–2 stars

  • Or custom ranges like 8+ stars

This allows you to:

  • Instantly find your best-rated content

  • Find titles you disliked

  • Discover what you felt “meh” about

c) Year Filter

You can switch between years at any time, letting you:

  • See only your ratings from one year

  • Compare your scoring habits between years


3. Advanced Sorting Options

SIMKL lets you reorganize your rating history in multiple ways using Sort By:

You can sort by:

What it does

This means you can instantly answer questions like:

  • “What’s the best thing I rated this year?”

  • “What did I rate lower than everyone else?”

  • “What are my highest-rated anime?”


4. Rating Insights & Personality

When a year is selected, SIMKL generates a Rating Insights dashboard showing:

  • Total ratings

  • Your average score

  • Your rating personality (e.g., Critical Eye)

  • Your most commonly given rating

  • Distribution of all your scores

  • Separate stats for TV, Anime, and Movies

You also get Controversial Opinions:

  • Titles you rated much higher than average

  • Titles you rated much lower than average

This helps you understand:

  • Where your taste differs from the crowd

  • Which genres or formats you’re harsher or more generous with


Rate Unrated: Find What You Forgot to Rate!

One of the most powerful tools inside SIMKL’s Ratings History is Rate Unrated.

SIMKL automatically tracks everything you watch or complete whether it is a movie, TV series, or anime.

However, many people finish titles and move on without ever rating them.

Over time, this creates gaps in your profile that reduce the accuracy of recommendations, statistics, and taste analysis.

The Rate Unrated button solves it, This button opens a special page that shows:

All titles you watched or completed but never rated

When you click ⭐ Rate Unrated, SIMKL opens a dedicated view that shows only the titles you have already completed but never rated. This creates a clean, focused queue of everything you forgot to score — no clutter, no already-rated items, just what needs attention.

What this page shows

This page lists:

  • Movies you watched but never rated

  • TV shows or anime you completed but never scored

  • Titles across all years, filtered to only what is missing ratings

You can rate directly from this page by clicking the stars or entering a number. As soon as you rate something, it disappears from the list letting you steadily clear your backlog.

This makes it feel less like a chore and more like checking off a todo list.

Why this is extremely powerful

Ratings are the foundation of everything SIMKL personalizes for you:

  • Recommendations

  • Similar users

  • Taste profile

  • Stats, rankings, and comparisons

  • Genre and mood analysis

When you leave titles unrated, SIMKL still knows you watched them — but it does not know how you felt about them. That creates blind spots in your profile.

For example:

  • You might love a genre but never rated the shows

  • You might hate a series but it still influences recommendations

  • Your average score becomes misleading

Rate Unrated fixes this by making sure every completed title has a voice.

If you want SIMKL to understand you properly, this button is one of the most important tools on the entire site.


Why Ratings History Matters

The Ratings History page is not just a log, it is the core of how SIMKL understands your taste.

It powers:

  • Recommendations

  • Similar-user matching

  • Discovery

  • Ranking accuracy

The more complete and accurate this page is, the better SIMKL becomes at finding content you will actually enjoy.
