What's New in OpenTV

1.2.0

July 29, 2026

Anime seasons are right again OpenTV now takes episode numbering from TheTVDB — the same database TV Time was built on, and the one your export uses. Detective Conan is 34 seasons again instead of a single list of 1,208 episodes, and your watches sit on the episodes you actually watched. Names, artwork, genres and cast come from there too, so anime finally gets real characters instead of voice actors. Episodes you never watched are gone TV Time's per-show counter is unreliable — on one library it claimed 84 watched episodes of a show its own records listed none for. OpenTV believed it and invented the rest. It now checks the counter against what the export actually lists and refuses to guess, so your episode count may drop. That drop is the fix. Films match far better Your export gives a film's title and nothing else, so "Superman" or "Ghostbusters" matched several real films and OpenTV gave up on all of them. The date you watched it now settles which one it is. Anything decided by inference rather than certainty is listed under Settings → Review matched movies, so a library of unmatched films is a short confirmation list instead of hundreds of manual searches. Two films sharing a title no longer overwrite each other. Upcoming movies Films you've added that aren't out yet live in their own tab with a countdown, instead of cluttering your watch list. Lists Create, rename and delete them, add shows and films by search, and drag to reorder. Re-importing never undoes your edits. Reminders worth keeping on Season and series finale alerts, a nudge when you're an episode or two from finishing a season, a Friday movie-night reminder, and a come-back reminder after a week away — but only when episodes are actually waiting. Each one is separately switchable. Sharing TV Time-style share cards for shows, episodes and films, saved as a real image. Built for iPad Rotates, and lays out for the screen instead of stretching a phone design across it. On a large iPad a show or film opens beside your library rather than covering it. Also in this release Reminders are now offered when you open the app, instead of hiding in Settings. Two seasons can stay open at once. Pull past the top of a show, episode or film to close it. Matching a title actually looks like it worked — and can no longer wipe the artwork it already had. Search your own library from the Shows and Movies grids. Unreleased episodes show the wait instead of a checkbox you could tick by accident. "Stop watching" now removes a show from the Watch List. Browser-extension exports import properly. A ZIP that can't be read reports a real error instead of a cheerful "0 imported". No more lag after switching apps. Your whole library is browsable offline.

Was unable to import data til the developer reached out with a solution.

*Updated review, the developer reached out to help with the problem, Thank you!*

Response from developer

Hi Amanda, I'm really sorry the import let you down — that's the one thing OpenTV has to get right, and I want to fix this for you personally. When everything imports as "0," it's almost always the type of file, not your data. Please make sure you're using the full GDPR data export from TV Time (the ZIP they email when you request "all your data"), not a screenshot or partial export — the app reads the CSV files inside that specific ZIP. If you're already using that file and it still shows 0, I'd love to look into it with you and get it sorted. You can reach me directly on Discord, Telegram, or Instagram — @mahmoodbashar08 on all three. Send me your export and I'll walk you through it, and if there's a bug with your particular file I'll fix the importer and push an update fast. You shouldn't have to add anything by hand — let's get your full history back. Thanks for giving OpenTV a try. — Mahmood, OpenTV

Great TV Time alternative

I’ve tried more than 10 TV-tracking apps, and I was so happy to find OpenTV because it’s very similar to TV Time. I especially love that we can import our TV Time data. The imported information isn’t completely accurate yet, and there are still a few things to improve, but I’m patient and excited to see how the app develops. Thank you for creating it!

Not able to import data!

Wanted to like the app but can’t even get my tvtime data imported every time I submit my zip it says it is done and nothing imports all items listed as 0. To much to add manually.

Just like TV Time!!

I love that this looks and feels just like TV Time! I’ve been trying out a bunch of apps and none of them feel the same. All my data imported great, there’s just a few inconsistencies I wish I could edit …the three dots in the upper right hand corner of a show don’t work so I can’t edit lists. Add/remove shows on my favorites list doesn’t work. Some shows are showing up as not completed on my watch next but when you click on them they say completed. Small issues but if these could be fixed and I could start editing my favorites / watch list I’m staying!!

Response from developer

Thank you so much — this genuinely means a lot! Feeling "just like TV Time" was the whole goal. 💛 You're on version 1.1.0, our very first release, and a lot has been fixed since. The two you mentioned — the ⋯ menu (so you can edit your lists) and adding/removing favourites — are both fixed in the update that's in Apple's review right now, landing any day. The moment you see the new version, update and you'll be able to edit your favourites and lists. The "not completed in Watch Next but completed when you open it" one is an old counter that can stick after importing — it's already better, and I'm making it correct itself automatically in the very next update. I'm a solo dev and I fix these fast, so please stick around — and once you've updated, let me know if anything's still off. Thank you for giving OpenTV a real try! 🙏 if you still facing same issues you always can dm me on telegram or discord or other my username is mahmoodbashar08
