I had to uninstall and reinstall the IMDB app on my phone. And all of my notifications/settings are gone. My watchlist, and things like that are still there. But I literally had marked hundreds (if not thousands) of movies, shows, games, people, etc. that I wanted to receive notifications on. And they're all gone. I thought that was linked to my user/account (much like the watchlist). Is this not the case? And if that's correct, where can I recover my notification data?

I have the Android app on my phone and receive notifications just fine on there but on my tablet, no "Notify Me" even shows up for a my title I look up. What do I need to do?

Anyone? IMDB's customer service really leaves something to be desired. I would love to be receiving notifications again, as such the app is only about half as useful. I used it a lot and checked it often with notifications but without. I hope someone else fills the void so we aren't stuck using a service that doesn't value it's customers.

Same thing happened to me. Sorta.
I had an old phone with a bunch of notifications. Had to switch it out for being defective. New phone's imdb app didn't save my notifications in my account. But somehow (I think when I transferred my old phone's content) it restored my notifications.
Still didn't actually notify me though. All shows/movies and people were checked, but no notifications.
Stupidly, I uninstalled and reinstalled the app, and now everything's gone again.
A little help with this issue would be awesome. I lost ALOT of notifications.

Yeah, unfortunately IMDB is one of those companies that has terrible, or no, customer service.  As you can see, this post has been here for years with no replies.  I gave up on the app long ago and never looked back.
