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! ### 4/5 — Tracks my stuff but… *2026-07-21, version 5.0* Works as intended except I keep getting double the notifications when a show airs. ### 4/5 — Lack of custom lists, notes, or comments *2026-07-17, version 4.9.3* I actually really love everything that is a feature of this app. The barebones tracking of your personal stuff is great, but for me the dealbreaker was the things it didn’t have which I personally need. Edit: TY Dev :) Apparently these features are planned to be added in the relatively near future. I am already on another app at this point, but I will gladly try out the update once it drops. Thanks for your response! ### 3/5 — Can’t restore purchase *2026-07-11, version 4.9.3* I liked the app but after reinstalling it, I can’t find the option to restore the purchase. ### 5/5 — My go to list *2026-07-10, version 4.9.3* I look at this every day. I think it's a great app that gives me a heads up and I can check out every day. I don't mind paying for my app to keep it alive. It's worth it. ### 5/5 — TV Time Shut Down *2026-07-04, version 4.9.3* I, like many, was shocked when I got the message that TV Time was shutting down. Looked up some recommendations for alternatives. Found this and another app. Downloaded both. Didn’t even attempt to do much with the other because Next Episode immediately prompted me with a message asking if I was coming from TV Time. Import process took literally less than 5 minutes. So far I’m happy with it. Gonna take some learning and getting used to the different UI but at least I have a proper tracker. Please don’t shut down though… ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-07-02, version 4.9.3* Moved over from TV time and this app is perfect for my needs. It does exactly what I want it to in a very easy UI. Loving it so far! ### 5/5 — This App *2026-06-28, version 4.9.3* KEEPS ME SANE!! ### 5/5 — Love it and appreciate the hard work!! *2026-06-21, version 4.9.3* I’ve used this app for several years and it has really helped me keep track of all the different shows I watch and where I watch them!! It’s obvious how much work it takes to keep all the information current and organized, in addition to all the behind the scenes work it takes to develop and support the app. I have always appreciated the effort and will continue to appreciate it and recommend the app to anyone who will listen! ### 5/5 — Best Tracking App *2026-06-20, version 4.9.3* I’ve been using for over a decade and haven’t left it! ### 5/5 — Great little app *2026-06-19, version 4.9.3* I’ve been using this app for several years and I find it very useful. Definitely recommend it if you watch a lot of tv shows that you want to keep track of. ### 5/5 — Indispensable *2026-06-09, version 4.9.1* You like your tv shows ? This the one and only app to track them ! I’ve been a user for years and I am still enthusiastic ### 5/5 — I can't watch streaming television without it *2026-06-05, version 4.9* This is a great application that tells me exactly what I need to know. When I look at the list, I see what's coming up but if I look at the calendar, I can see what the whole month looks like. And when I open up an individual show not only do I see what episode it is I see what episode was previous and I also have links to go directly to IMDb other websites. I even see how many episodes I can expect to see. Terrific application. Thank you! ### 4/5 — I recommend this app *2026-06-05, version 4.9* This was one of those apps I randomly downloaded like 6-8 years ago in hopes it was a good one and just never stopped using it and never searched for another one. I’d assume I’m pretty content with it! The creator is very good at keeping the app updated every so often and surprises us with new features sometimes. It’s user friendly and can do pretty much anything you need a tv show tracking app to provide. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — Not user friendly, very difficult to use and I’m usually a tech savvy person *2026-07-12, version 4.9.3* Not user friendly. Very difficult to mark just an episode watched. Will use other apps to track my shows ### 1/5 — Bummer - absolute trash *2026-07-05, version 4.9.3* Created account online. Could NOT successfully import virtually ANY shows from TV Time (about a tenth!) or IMDB (exactly zero). Then iPhone app has consistent error saying cannot log in. Deleted app, same issue. Logs in fine online. Unfortunately, this is useless. ### 1/5 — Ruined app *2026-06-11, version 4.9.3* Latest update has ruined what was a decent app. Now you no longer have what’s on today or tomorrow. Just a blank screen. ### 1/5 — Unintuitive… *2026-03-05, version 4.6.9* How exactly am I supposed to track what I want to watch if I can not mark episodes or seasons as watched? Accomplishing this simple function is confusing and convoluted, and at this time I still have not figured out this puzzle. Better luck next time I suppose. ### 1/5 — Blank screen on trailer *2025-06-11, version 4.6.5* When playing the upcoming shows trailer, it only show blank screen with audio still working. ### 1/5 — App stopped working *2025-04-17, version 4.6.3* This was an awesome app until about 2 weeks ago when it literally stopped working. All screens are blank. It is producing an error that never resolves. ### 1/5 — Dead *2024-09-20, version 4.6.2* I liked this app, but now it’s completely dead. Screen just comes up black. Nothing functions, my lists are gone. Hopefully it will come back. Even their website is gone. A search for news comes up empty. They may be gone. ### 1/5 — App broken? *2024-09-19, version 4.6.2* I loved this app but it seems to be broken now. All pages are blank. ### 1/5 — Broken App *2024-09-19, version 4.6.2* (This used to be a 5-star review. I’m editing it based on recent events) What used to be a great show reminder/tracker app has been broken by the most recent update (9/18/24). Now, instead of a comprehensive list of favorite shows - both current and cancelled - the app has been reduced to a blank black screen. Lowest rating. 1 star. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 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. ### 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. ### 5/5 — The new update rocks *2026-07-26, version 5.0.1* Wow! Fantastic update on an already amazing app. A must have for tv junkies. Thanks for all of your hard work. ### 5/5 — Helpful & easy *2026-07-20, version 5.0* Great app! Easy to use! I've been using this app for years to keep track of which episode I'm on for shows that are currently being aired, and also for canceled shows that I'm binging. I also like that I can turn on notifications to be alerted when my shows have a premier date since some of them seem to go on hiatus for so long these days. ### 5/5 — In *2026-07-19, version 5.0* Used tv time for years. I was able to import tv time information into next episode. Of all the apps I looked at to replace tv time this was the best fit for me ### 5/5 — I love this app *2026-07-19, version 5.0* Excellent way to stay on top of seasons and episodes, I rely on this app all the time. LOVE it x1000. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
