## What is Next Episode?

The TV and movie tracker people actually stick with. 4.8 stars, nearly 2,500 ratings, and a service that's been actively built and updated for 20+ years.

If you watch a lot of TV, you know the feeling: too many shows scattered across too many services, no idea where you left off - and no idea what's streaming where. Next Episode fixes all of that.

Add the shows and movies you love, and the app quietly keeps everything in order. It shows you which streaming services carry each title, tells you when the next episode airs, counts down to the ones you're excited about, and keeps your unwatched episodes in one tidy list. A push notification lands fifteen minutes before showtime, so you're never caught off guard.

Movies get the same treatment: build your watchlist, track what you've seen, and find out where each one is streaming.

And when you've finished everything and need something new, Next Episode is just as good at discovery. Top charts, personalized recommendations, and trailers you can watch without leaving the app.

"The UI is slick, everything is broken down into nice little categories that show me exactly what I want to see, and I was able to just jump right in and start using it. Couldn't ask for anything more." - iPhoneAppReviews.net

### 5/5 — Responsive almost in real time

*2026-08-26*

Just started using the app, found 2 shows that weren’t there, asked for them and they were added same day. Really consider going premium soon.

### 5/5 — The Best

*2026-08-20, version 5.0.4*

Without a doubt, the best app of any kind that I use

### 2/5 — Latest update caused the app not to work

*2026-08-20, version 5.0.4*

Latest update caused the app not to work

### 2/5 — It Changed

*2026-08-17, version 5.0.4*

This once was a great app. Recently there have been changes and the one big change is they removed the section with “Upcoming Shows” and. “Upcoming Movies”, to be available in the future. Sure I can find U.S.A. networks upcoming info on trade websites, but I am having a hard time finding series from UK, Canada, France, Germany, etc. Why pay for premium, when they removed a very important section?? Not all changes are good ones.

### 3/5 — Good, but could be better

*2026-08-15*

Like many others, I came to this app after the demise of TVTime. However, I’m less enthusiastic about the switch. Unfortunately, the tabs at the bottom make navigation a bit more complicated than it needs to be. Right now, you have My Shows which is where you go to search for shows, see the show’s details, and add them. But the Episodes tab is where you go to actually mark them off the list. I often find myself having to go back and forth between the two tabs to accomplish what I want. I wish I could simply get a list of the shows with episodes that I still need to watch, with all that show’s details like where to watch them, all in one tab. Like merge those tabs together somehow. It would be great if that sort of thing was in the What’s Next tab, showing all the shows you’re actively watching, but that tab is only really for shows that are actively airing and has limited usability for those of us who mainly stream. So as it is, while I love the simplicity of this app, it’s still cumbersome in its current design, and I can’t wholeheartedly recommend. But it’s better than nothing.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the honest feedback!

Quick tip: as of version 5.0, you can mark episodes watched directly in Show Details → Episodes - no need to jump back and forth between the My Shows and Episodes tabs anymore.

Give it a try, and if it smooths out your workflow, I'd really appreciate an updated rating.

Either way, thanks for sticking with Next Episode - more improvements are on the way!

### 5/5 — Great option

*2026-08-11, version 5.0.3*

I was using TVTime and they decided to shut down. They recommended next episode and it was an easy transition. My entire database was transitioned to Next Episode. I had to buy the upgrade to Premium but it was worth it. Very responsive.  Very intuitive.

### 1/5 — Streaming Providers is VERY Inaccurate

*2026-08-04, version 5.0.1*

Many shows have incorrect or missing streaming providers.  I have Hulu selected and multiple shows I watch on Hulu each week show under other services but not Hulu.  The "Untold" series that is only on Netflix shows as not streaming on it.  Very inaccurate streaming service data.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-07-28, version 5.0.1*

Was directed here after TV Time app announced they were done. Wish I had found it sooner this app is so much better. Love it!

### 5/5 — the best app for tracking tv shows

*2026-07-27, version 5.0.1*

the creator/developer nikolay is absolutely wonderful and has put together a really amazing app here, as well as being super attentive to always improving it. i have been using this app for all of my tv show tracking for years and i don’t know what i would do without it. thank you!

### 5/5 — Best app ever

*2026-07-26, version 5.0.1*

I’ve been using this app for over 5 years now I tried other apps and they can’t top this one , the developer will do his best to add any show you want added, and he’s very responsive to emails.
