Account?

How come now i need to create an account? So basically the app is just holding my watchlist hostage, trying to force me to create an account when i was able to use lists for YEARS without one? Thanks but no thanks.

Customer support

Steven at customer support was amazing and helped me with all of my issues in a timely fashion!

NOT PAYING FOR THIS

Unreal how greedy - now you have to pay to see what’s new?! Been using this for years but no more. Sucks that you have to pay for the least little thing. Not everyone wants a million paid subscriptions.

This is bs

It says just watch but you can’t even watch anything unless you have the subscription

Wants way too much data

Like the title wants way too much data for an app that just tells you where to watch something. Started it up and it like is and our 98 third party providers. You have lost your mind if you think this is okay. Saw that laughed out loud and immediately deleted the app.

The Telly Brain

I can now keep track of what to watch and where. Wonderful application.

UX

Quite sub-standard experience for those who own a premium device like Apple and have come to expect a much higher quality.

Helpful

Use it a lot

Garbage

This app is impossible to like. It’s wonky. The UI stinks, lists disappear, there is no update support or development.

Now requires email to use

Can't even create a watchlist or search for movies/tv shows unless you give them your email address and set up an account where they can track you. Literally worthless now. Most recent update added so many ads you can't see the movie list. Deleting - so sad since I've had the app for years.

Hide title option

I’m tired of seeing certain serious multiple times, especially series with many seasons since they get posted individually. I’ve used the ‘dislike’ button to not see them again but don’t like the idea of that, it just bothers me seeing same titles over and over again.

Sound Control

Great App, but could you please stop turning my music off when I use it? Keeps me away from the app when i got my earbuds in listening to music.

Please get rid of the video ads!! 🙏

I’m a long time user and lover of this app, but the video ads are killing me. I appreciate that the sound is muted, but not having a pause or disable option is insane. They slow down my iPad instantly and make using the search extremely frustrating. I can search maybe a handful of things before the app freezes up from having to load in the videos on every single search result page. No pause or disable option sucks from an accessibility standpoint too.

And as always I am begging for y’all to figure out a way to exclude the freebie episodes for tv series that are behind paid subscription add ons. I have prime, I don’t have amc, mgm, Brit box, etc. I don’t want to see shows from all these services in my feed just because technically prime offers you a single episode for free and then the rest are locked behind an add on sub. Prime was the worst offender but it’s popping up on other services like Roku now too. It’s making browsing tv shows increasingly more frustrating when half the stuff that comes up isn’t actually available on my selected services.

Scrolling doesn't work

Love the idea, one of my most used apps. But the scrolling has always been janky literally for years. Maybe I just have more items than the developers test with so they've never noticed. Would be great if they could fix that bug. Thanks

Great Service

I’m a convert after TV Time closed. I had some problems importing my zip file but after contacting the help service, they quickly and efficiently solved my issue.

Very Good App with Great Potential

The idea of this app, which allows me to view new release movies for rent and added to streaming platforms, and to choose year of release, is critical to my function of work.

But it has room for so much improvement too.

-Almost daily, several movies are either not linked or incorrectly linked to IMDB titles
-The year of release slider doesn’t appear to work as movies released outside the range I select still appear and when checking the time range selected, it always reverts to 2026-2026. This would be better being a manually written field rather than a slider too.
-The option to remove movies leaving streaming platforms to view only newly added ones would be very helpful
-The app also experiences temporary hiccups, such as not displaying movies for a selected streaming and renting platform for a period of time, but these are resolved at present and usually are some weeks after I report the problem.

Cleaning up these easily fixed app issues would encourage me to consider paying for Pro in the future.

So easy and useful

So handy to be able to quickly see where I can watch something and keep a list of things I want to watch in one place rather than separate lists in all the different streaming platforms!!

Can you please add more description

Hi sorry I thought this app was to watch things? But looking on it and I was just told where I could watch the things I was searching up which didn’t help me please be more accurate in what you’re describing.
