### 4/5 — Très bon

*2026-08-29*

On devrait avoir une place pour noter chaque episode d’une série

### 3/5 — Pas mal mais manque des fonctionnalités

*2026-08-27*

L’appli a bcp de potentiel en version premium pour remplacé TV showtime, en revanche les fenêtres qui s’ouvrent systématiquement lorsqu’on sélectionne un épisode vu devrait être une option qu’on puisse désactiver - Exemple pour les personnes qui regarde bcp d’animé il y a énormément d’épisode filler et quand on veut les renseigner comme vu à l’avance pour se décharger de cela pour avoir seulement les épisode qu’on doit voir l’appli est infernale  l’option « voulez vous marquer les épisodes précédents comme vus » reste utile mais ça serait vraiment bien d’avoir la liberté de la désactiver

### 4/5 — Correction

*2026-08-20*

Bon appli mais il reste quand même trop d’options payantes. La barre de recherche aussi devrait pouvoir être améliorée en corrigeant certains défauts comme le fait qu’il faut le titre en entier pour trouver notre série ou film . Un simple mot clé devrait nous permettre de tomber sur notre recherche et pas le titre entièrement ET sans aucune faute . C’est dommage ces quelques petit défauts qui nous empêches une expériences   à 100% . Si de petites maj sur les recherches ou encore certaines  options payantes peuvent  être réglé nous aurons enfin le droit à une utilisation agréable de cette application pas mal !

### 4/5 — Some Disappointments (Update)

*2026-08-13, version 7.4.0*

The calendar is now vertically scrolling with forward and backward movement available. I believe many will find that beneficial. A nice feature is the filtering options which again are the strength of this app👏🏼
**************************************

I have been an enthusiastic supporter of the app for many months. It still is the most powerful TV manager I have used. 

However, the new layout for series feels crammed and too busy. One used to be able to choose between a list view of episodes or an expanded view which included an episode’s full details. When in this mode you could scroll from one episode to another continuously. Now it’s a two step selection process for each episode, which was also available before, but currently you have to go back and forth if you want to jump ahead and see details. For me this has taken away a feature that wasn’t available in other TV managers.

Additionally, call me old school but animations and emojis (cute as they are) are purely tinsel. For people who are serious content managers, these are not a plus and slow things down.
But for others, who mostly concentrate on a week’s worth of viewing it’s most likely not an issue.

By contrast, I prefer TVST’s approach for a series watch list as it is simple and to the point. When you are managing several series and streaming services, it pays to have a no nonsense approach.

One feature I really like on TVST is its “Unseen episodes” grouping which consists of shows you have started (in grid layout) but have not finished. It even automatically adds a show that has a new season. On its poster pic, it clearly marks where it can be streamed, episodes left etc. and other specific details. This is a real time saver. 

And my favorite feature of TVST is its calendar that scrolls vertically (continuously) which allows me to quickly move between weeks and months forwards and backwards. Season premieres and finales are boldly marked as are shows that are ending. Sofa Time’s calendar needs a lot of work by comparison. The calendar is step intensive by having to change week to week and is not allowing backward searching at this time. 

While TSVT can’t match Sofa Times sorting, filtering options and easy links to outside reviews (which includes movies) it offers a much more straightforward and quicker way to manage the many TV series I am viewing.

I have been using both services as each has features that fit my specific needs. And since they both link to TrakT it’s not an issue. I have given Sofa Time a 5 star rating all along and still feel for many it deserves that accolade. Unfortunately it’s no longer a one stop app for my everyday requirements which removes a star. Nevertheless, Sofa time is unmatched with its layout options and filters both of which I take advantage of.

*I do appreciate that the developer continues to try to improve the app such as the Watch list’s new groups feature.

Note: Having tried the new groupings in the Watch screen the listings could be helpful as a shortcut to new content. If one is focused on what’s coming up this might be extremely valuable. For me, I look for series/seasons that are completed before I begin watching. That’s where the other app’s calendar is extremely important.

Also worth acknowledging is that I have the premium version of both Apps and a subscription to Trakt so my comments are based on the perks that come with those. I only mention this so those who use free versions are not confused by differences in the way the app might perform for them.

### 4/5 — TV Time Replacement

*2026-08-11*

At first glance, this app seems really perfect. I love the overall community vibe it has going, and from someone who didn’t know tv time shutdown and had to manually importing everything, it doesn’t seem like a huge hassle, easy to navigate around. My only complaint is the paywall, you can only create 2 lists unless you pay for premium to keep everything in and someone who loves to personalise and have things in “folders” this was a let down :(

### 5/5 — Great!

*2026-08-11*

Nice app. I was sad to see TV time go so I went looking for a replacement and this app has been amazing

### 3/5 — Missing Episodes

*2026-08-11, version 7.4.0*

I’m coming across several shows that only list one episode. It is impossible to keep proper track. Subtracting 2 stars for that.

### 5/5 — Une très bonne alternative à Tv Time

*2026-08-10*

Une application qui fait le job. En « deuil » à l’annonce de la disparition de TV Time qui m’a accompagné des années il n’a pas été simple de choisir une application pour pallier cette disparition soudaine. J’ai même pu restaurer mes sauvegardes TvTime , donc je n’ai rien perdu au final.
L’application est bien faite même s’il faut encore s’habituer. La base de données est bien fournie et propose films et séries en très grand nombre.
Il ne manque plus que la courbe des notes pour estimer visuellement une saison selon l’avis des utilisateurs de l’application et tout sera au poil ! Je recommande vivement 👍

### 4/5 — sugestão:

*2026-08-10*

o app poderia ter a opção de compartilhar em outras redes sociais nossas avaliações de um episódio.
no momento só é possível compartilhar as séries/filmes.

### 5/5 — BETTER THAN TV TIME

*2026-08-10, version 7.4.0*

Like most people in these reviews I was a TV Time orphan. After downloading and trying a plethora of tv and movie trackers this has to be my absolute favorite. I hope more TV Time users come over and we can get the comment sections loaded.

### 5/5 — Like it

*2026-08-09, version 7.3.8*

Love the app , keep me track of shows coming up and series. What series are coming up from your fav show.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2026-08-09, version 7.3.8*

So far it is good, but I’m still new at navigating it!

### 4/5 — My new TV Time

*2026-08-08, version 7.3.8*

This is a great alternative to TV time. The only thing that takes away the star in the lack of community engagement with comments. Every time I try to post a comment I am stuck with a spinning wheel. Other than that I think this app has a lot of potential.

### 4/5 — Usage

*2026-08-08, version 7.3.8*

It’s great but I would love a category or preference to remove or hide content in preferences

### 5/5 — So far so good

*2026-08-08, version 7.3.8*

Rlly needed  a recovery from tv time incident, this is saving me currently.

### 5/5 — Great tv time alternative

*2026-08-07, version 7.3.8*

After TV times sunset, Sofa Time has been my new home. Paid the upgrade and am satisfied. Community is slowly growing. So I like it.

### 5/5 — Idioma

*2026-08-07, version 7.3.8*

O app é sensacional , só gostaria de uma opção de poder saber qual o idioma que está a série , e uma opção para notificar assim que a dublagem em português estiver disponível, isso seria ótimo

### 1/5 — Money wasted

*2026-08-25*

Nothing working in the app dont download or even think to pay for this thing at first they donnot reply to my emails support etc very arrogant ignorant small indie developer

### 1/5 — Не ищет фильмы и плохо грузит приложение.

*2026-08-15*

Перестал искать фильмы и сериалы, причем сделал платную версию.

### 1/5 — It was a great app a month ago

*2026-08-14, version 7.4.0*

it was a well working app a month ago. now nothing works. searching for movies in your list... dead
widgets... blank, dead and the one that shows anything isn't updating.  syncing across devices..l does not work now. so basically wasted $10 for an app that was working just fine until they decided to do weekly updates that broke everything.. btw i did email them and never received a response.

### 1/5 — Makes me miss Tv Time

*2026-07-31, version 7.3.7*

TV time as a better app. I have shows on my watch list that have new episodes and aren’t showing up on my to watch list, which was the entire point of using this app. If it won’t tell me which of my shows have new episodes it’s useless.

### 1/5 — Great UI & features ruined by crashes and non-responsive support

*2026-07-30*

Great UI & features ruined by crashes and non-responsive support

### 1/5 — Tracking

*2026-07-28, version 7.3.6*

The episode tracking on the free version is so bad

### 1/5 — No support

*2026-07-18, version 7.3.4*

Doesn’t reply to emails.

### 1/5 — Can’t Import Data

*2026-07-10*

The app sounds great based on other reviews. But, it lists that you can connect Sofa Time to a Simkl account it you go to the profile screen. This would be great because I was able to sync all of my historial TV Time data to my Simkl account. But, the feature to connect accounts appears to be broken. I tried on both my phone and my iPad and it pretends it’s going to sync the data but the progress bar never moves (I’ve waited up to 30 min at a time multiple times and the progress bar has never moved even a millimeter). I went through the contact us portal in the app and emailed them asking for assistance 5 days ago and haven’t heard anything back. I’d love to experience the app like everyone else, but I can’t spend hours manually transferring over my historial TV Time data.

### 1/5 — Missing History

*2026-05-18, version 7.1.0*

With the latest update, I’ve lost all my info even if using iCloud storage.

### 1/5 — Deletes all your info

*2026-05-18, version 7.1.0*

Worst experience with a tracking app. There is no logging in to save your info, you are totally reliant on the app “remembering” your information. They should not be allowed to charge for a subscription if they can’t even get their app to work right. ESPECIALLY if just updating the app will delete EVERYTHING you’ve been tracking. And yet you get NO REFUND if you’re screwed over.

### 5/5 — So far so good

*2026-08-25*

Un upgrade de Tv Time tracker

### 5/5 — Comme TV Time … en mieux 😍

*2026-08-24*

Excellente application qui a su remplacer totalement TV Time et même plus. J’aime le fait de voir ce que les amis regardent et quelles notes ils mettent à tel ou tel épisode. Chose qui avait disparu de TV Time. L’ergonomie est vraiment top et sobre. Pour avoir essayé plusieurs autres applications, c’est celle qui se rapproche le plus de TV Time. La version payante (une dizaine d’euros en une fois et à vie) vaut vraiment le coup.
Maintenant, j’aimerais juste qu’il y ait un graphique des notes de chaque épisode par saison et ce serait parfait. 😍

### 5/5 — Saved me

*2026-08-17*

After TV Time this is the only app that does everything I need it to

### 5/5 — Best replacement for TV Time!

*2026-08-14, version 7.4.0*

Sofa Time has a nice clean interface that is easy to navigate and should be very familiar for any user that is coming off of TV Time

### 5/5 — Loving it so far

*2026-08-13, version 7.4.0*

Honestly it has everything I need to track TV shows. I paid for the one time subscription and that’s good for me. No issues so far and it’s a simple app. I’m grateful it’s not a monthly subscription.

### 5/5 — Hello sofa time team

*2026-08-13, version 7.4.0*

Please note that i’m facing issues with the app showing Tv shows that i already completed. Although, waiting for the new seasons and episodes showing on watchlist as not completed and there are episodes still to watch which isn’t accurate.

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-08-13*

Good app..would like to know when a show is not coming back. Tv time had that feature it was great

### 5/5 — Bro Amazing ❤️

*2026-08-13, version 7.4.0*

Definitely 💯 no lie the best tracking app I’ve ever used or seen. I have premium and would absolutely be willing to pay monthly for a subscription down the road if you were to ever create one. Well done 👏

### 5/5 — Great app. Yes indeed

*2026-08-12, version 7.4.0*

I’m loving it. So much

### 5/5 — Great but small bug

*2026-08-11, version 7.4.0*

Since yesterday’s update, tapping the calendar auto scrolls it back a month.
