Import + Export

These two functions are really important.
If an update doesn't work or you have to uninstall the app, all your data is gone,
Therefore, it should be possible to export and re-import all the data entered (wathlist, history, collections, etc.).

I'm afraid I couldn't find a way to do that, can you share a method or documentation of how can that be done?

I've digged a little in Trakt API documentation. It seems possible, but you will have to implement OAuth (there are some packages available on pub.dev). For example, the request to get watched movies.
Also, it returns the IMDb id of each movie/serie.

If it can import just .txt with all show names and values its more than enough. There are scripts on github which can export it as csv too. So instead of exporting it as csv, it should be imported into app directly

Thank you for your time, this is really helpful.

To achieve that, we need some changes in the app structure and i hope it happens soon.
