Thank you so much, this means a lot
Cool, but needs work
Response from developer
Hi Craig, Glad you are enjoying the app! To fix notifications, try toggling the setting off then back on in the app, and double check that notifications are turned on for the app in the Settings app. As for the feedback feature, I am working on fixing this up. On my website I removed the contact form as I thought it was slightly buggy, and instead have the site open your default mail client to send feedback. On iOS I use the native mail composer, but if it is unavailable the app still tries to open up the contact form I deleted on the website already. Oops! Going to add it back soon. Best, Maximilian Litteral
Was and is good but developer is disingenuous

Hey, I’m not really sure what you’re referencing. Every feature that was previously available is unlocked and supported for users who bought the app previously. Television Time Plus is only required for new features like stats, new alternate icons, and some future features I’m working on. I’ve also never intentionally guilt tripped anyone. When contacted i try to set expectations that I’m a team of 1 and work on my apps on the weekends because some people do think this app is developed by a team of people full time.

Thank you for the review. You are correct in that previously available features have remained unlocked for purchasing the app previously. I don't plan to make the subscription intrusive, and will hopefully avoid that. I will only show the subscription page when a new feature is available that will require Plus such as lists, or the new Year in Review stats screen. But they will never be required to use the app as it was before.
Search & Add
Response from developer
Sorry for the trouble. Search and Discover are working again now. Television Time Plus is not required for those features, and because you purchased the app previously, is not required ever to track the series you want to follow. What happened is that the service I use, Trakt.tv, was down between December 11 and December 20. Their database unexpectedly crashed and their site and API were down as they recovered the data and brought back their service. They're back now, so the app should be working just as before. If you have any other trouble please reach out and I'd be happy to help.
TV API is broke, worked great prior
Normally works great
Crazy price changes
Response from developer
Hello and thank you for the review. The new prices are based on how I truly value the app and my time. Traditionally app prices are a race to the bottom. I can’t price my tv tracker app if another is $0.99. By making it free to try I can now let the app speak for itself and let people decide if the price is worth the value. As an existing user of the app I’ve also kept all existing features available for free. I intentionally introduced the subscription without many new features for existing users because I want to focus on quick, focused updates. I needed to see if spending hundreds of hours designing and developing new features would be worth the time; and so far I am very happy with how Television Time Plus is going so far. I’ve already added new features for existing users such as Year in Review, and I’m currently working on adding features to improve organization such as lists and tags, with the ability to share lists with friends and family, and more. I’ve been supporting Television Time since 2015, and Television Time Plus is the best way I can continue. I hope this look behind the curtain helps at least explain my reasons for the price changes. I hope that the new features I’m working on will prove their worth for the price of subscription, and I’m always open to feedback in ways to improve the value and usefulness of the app. Best, Maximilian Litteral
Alternate View
I would love to have a view choice of “Currently Watching” I enjoy going through shows that have ended or re-watching. I also want the current shows with upcoming air dates. Would love to have the option to manually select the shows to keep at the top.
Thank you
Response from developer
Hi there, you can archive shows from the Shows tab by swiping across them, and that way you can keep unarchived the shows you're currently watching. If you sort by airdate as well the shows should sort by when they're airing or alphabetical if the dates are unknown yet.

Love: the overall interface, grid view option, and the clear countdown on when the next showing will be, ease of checking off a watched show, no troubles finding any show I’ve searched for, no bugs so far, great Discover section broken up into streaming services, etc… and really like the “anticipated” suggestions for something new, and it looks great on my iPad (which I tend to use more in this case).
