The Watchlist keeps you moving forward with the next unwatched episode, smart air-date highlights, and a refined Upcoming view featuring a spotlight for your next release. Discover helps you decide what to watch with personalized shelves: • Up Next highlights your current momentum • Ready to Watch shows what’s available right now • Tonight suggests shows you could finish in one sitting Explore new content with curated picks, contextual recommendations like Strong Match and Recent Release, trending titles, and You May Also Like suggestions on every details page. Track your viewing with powerful insights. The Analytics hub combines Ratings, Statistics, and Milestones into one destination. See your watch streaks, activity trends, library breakdown, and rating distribution. Unlock personal milestones as you watch, rate, and explore — with tiered achievements across categories like Watching, Library, Ratings, Completion, Streaks, Consistency, and Discovery. Know where to watch. CouchTime shows streaming availability by region, powered by TMDB. The Details screen displays subscription, free, rent, and buy options with tappable provider chips. Watchlist and Library cards include streaming badges, and the Updates feed notifies you when a title becomes available on a new service. Never miss a release. CouchTime includes local episode notifications so you always know when the next episode airs. Control notification scope, review your schedule, and reschedule reminders whenever you want. A cinematic viewing companion. Enjoy a refined Details experience with full cast information, smooth motion, and carefully crafted visuals throughout the app. If metadata ever mismatches, you can manually correct it using Fix Match.

Optional Trakt.tv integration lets you import watch history and sync watched episodes and movies across devices. No ads. No social feeds. No distractions.

The screen you return to is no longer rebuilt from scratch, and you keep your scroll position and your search text. Screen entrance animations now honour the Reduce Motion accessibility setting, throughout the app. ### 3.8.10 — 2026-09-02 Episode reminders now arrive once. Each reminder is identified by the episode it belongs to, so an interrupted launch can no longer lose track of one and add a second copy the next time. Duplicates left by earlier versions are cleared the first time you open this version, and your daily Tonight reminder is not affected. Turning episode reminders off now stays off, even if the schedule was being rebuilt at the same moment. The notification schedule screen shows each reminder's real time. It used to show times that drifted the longer the app stayed open, and could show the same time for reminders set for different moments. Your Trakt session is now stored so it can still be read while your iPhone is locked, letting marks you have already made finish sending instead of failing on a connection that was working the whole time. CouchTime checks the moved session reads back correctly before removing the old one. Fixed CouchTime showing a "session expired" notice after you had already reconnected Trakt, and that notice now appears in your language. ### 3.8.9 — 2026-08-31 - Shared lists now have a link you can send to anyone. It opens the list in CouchTime if they have the app, and otherwise opens a CouchTime page showing the list and its covers. - List links unfurl properly in Messages, Slack and social apps, with a preview card for the list rather than the CouchTime homepage. - Fixed a bug where turning on a public link could fail without saying so, leaving the link working while CouchTime still showed the list as private. - Fixed turning off public sharing playing the success sound even when it had failed. - Fixed a list's public state being reverted by a background sync that started before the change. - Fixed opening two list invitations quickly showing the wrong list, or leaving the Join button stuck. - Fixed the Join button on a list invitation being invisible since 3.8.3, and centred its label. - Fixed episodes appearing a day early on Discover's This Week and in Up Next for anyone west of UTC. - Fixed Trakt reporting an expired session when the connection was fine, and skipping one automatic sync when it happened. - Fixed choosing Share on a list leaving the app visible but unresponsive to taps until it was force-quit. Present since 3.4.4. ### 3.8.8 — 2026-08-26 You can now share any show or movie from its Details screen. The link opens that exact title — in CouchTime if the other person has the app, otherwise on a CouchTime page showing the poster, year, runtime, genres and description. Shared links unfurl properly in Messages, Slack and social apps, with a preview card for the title itself rather than the CouchTime homepage. Fixed a bug where a small number of titles could load another title's cast, posters, recommendations or streaming services. A handful of IMDb IDs are claimed by two different titles, and the app now verifies which one it is looking at before showing anything. Fixed streaming availability being cached against the wrong title for those same IDs, which could also send a "now streaming" alert for something you were not tracking. Fixed the Plus time filters in Up Next matching shows whose next episode has not been released yet. ### 3.8.7 — 2026-08-22 Shows you add to Plan now move to Watching as soon as you mark an episode watched. Before, they stayed in Plan and quietly dropped out of your Discover rails and Up Next queue. The Details screen now shows how much is left to catch up on a show you're behind on, in hours and episodes. It is always phrased as "at least", because the app will not claim a total it cannot stand behind. Plus: Up Next can now be filtered by the time you actually have — Any, 30, 45, 60 or 90 minutes. It matches on the next episode, so it answers "can I watch one tonight" rather than "can I finish this". Fixed a bug where refreshing a show could erase cached episode titles and runtimes, which made watch-time figures in Recap and Year in Review lower than they should be. Fixed the Library and Lists filters offering to sell Plus to people who already own it, while their purchase was still being confirmed. Fixed the "This Week" list on Discover, where show titles did not line up because a longer day name pushed them across. In Swedish, some days could also appear as a date instead of the weekday. ## Apps similar to CouchTime | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [VisionTime: Movie & TV Tracker](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/visiontime-movie-and-tv-tracker/id6757656251) | — | Free | Entertainment | | [NextEp - TV Tracker](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/nextep-tv-tracker/id6759259833) | 5.0 (2) | Free | Entertainment | | [Popcorn Stack: Track Watchlist](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/popcorn-stack-track-watchlist/id6759187614) | — | Free | Entertainment | | [Bingely - TV Show Tracker](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/bingely-tv-show-tracker/id6757936274) | — | Free | Entertainment | | [TallyTV](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/tallytv/id6760629249) | 5.0 (2) | Free | Entertainment | | [EpisodePal - TV Show Tracker](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/episodepal-tv-show-tracker/id6760142566) | — | Free | Entertainment | --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
