### 5/5 — best tv show tracking app

*2025-03-04*

this is the best tv show tracking app out there and it’s leaving and I’m in mourning :( nothing compares to

### 5/5 — Great app, please make one for movies.

*2025-02-20*

Love the app, super intuitive to use. I would appreciate it if you would grace us with a similar app for movies. I tried Letterboxd, it’s not great you could do better. Thanks in advance.

### 2/5 — great app, but crashes

*2025-02-11, version 3.14.1*

started crashing several weeks ago, reinstalling it only caused it to open to black screen. The website works fine but does not have all the functionality of the app.

### 5/5 — Amazing App for Tracking TV Series

*2025-01-31*

I don’t leave reviews often but I Love this app so much that I had to!! It is everything I’ve been wanting. It gives me notifications when new episodes are airing and I can see a calendar log of shows upcoming. It is super easy to mark off each episode you watch as well and I haven’t ran in to a show that isn’t in the database. I hope this app grows because it is so well made!

### 4/5 — Screw Letterboxd, add my Marathon

*2025-01-27, version 3.14.1*

Works exactly as you’d expect with some innovative features to make updating your show’s progress super easy. It’s not as big as Letterboxd obviously, but that gives an opportunity for your reviews and lists to gain more traction as you’ll be one of the first to review some of the lesser known ones. It’s a little buggy at the moment but makes up for it by just being super easy to use. Def recommend if you’re looking for a “Letterboxd but for TV”

### 5/5 — TV is better if you Marathon

*2024-12-31*

Ive been using this app for over a year. It has been unbelievable in my ability to track progress and what I should watch. My memory isn’t that great, but Marathons database so far hasn’t let me down.

### 1/5 — Crashes in 18.2

*2024-12-29, version 3.13.0*

App crashes every time anything entered

### 3/5 — Needs Ways to Block Users

*2024-12-03*

I like the app so far but it needs moderation features on the user end to be able to hide reviews, block, and report. There is nothing on the user side that I can find which can create a negative environment.

### 4/5 — Beautiful but buggy

*2024-11-26, version 3.12.0*

This app is awesome but it is really buggy ! Need a TV Time import ! Thanks !

### 5/5 — Review

*2024-10-26*

Overall great app. A little slow sometimes and if you remove a show, it’ll be a white screen and you’ll have to close the app. Other than that, it is a great app. A lot of cool things in this app you can’t find in any other tracker app.
