I’m currently unable to scan any games via barcode. I’m on iPhone. Anyone else having this problem?

I didn’t start watching TV shows with the intention of finishing them until my early 20s, around 2018. Since joining Serializd earlier this year, I have marked shows I have finished as completed in the app. Now, there are shows I have seen prior to that time period but only in part. Either a majority of episodes, or just a handful here and there. Problem is, it would be impossible (or at least extremely tedious) to go through these shows and find every specific episode I remember watching and marking it was watched on the app. The way Serializd is right now, you would have to mark only the episodes you’ve seen if you want to have the show in your profile but not have it say you’ve watched the whole series. It’s either all or nothing unless you take the time to mark individual episodes.

With Letterboxd, I have retroactively marked movies as watched if I remember watching them from start to finish at some point, but I don’t log them as diary entries. Similarly, on the site Backloggd (Letterboxd for video games), you have multiple options for how to mark a game you’ve played: Played (nothing specific), Completed (finished main goal/rolled credits), Shelved (put on hold), Retired (game has no definitive end, but stopped playing), or Abandoned (self explanatory). It would be nice Serializd had a similar feature to add shows to my profile that I haven’t watched entirely.

I could make a list of shows I haven’t finished, and I probably will, but I’m curious if anyone in a similar situation does something different.
