### 5/5 — Amazing Show / Movie tracker

*2026-07-21*

The app is simple to use and updated regularly. I’ve provided a lot of feedback that has been incorporated and I really appreciate it. It’s getting better with each update.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. It is very much appreciated! Feel free to reach out to me via email at support@couchtim.es anytime for detailed support. I'm happy to help!

### 4/5 — Good app

*2026-07-21*

A good Tv Time replacement. I just wished they would have a review section after you watched an episode, I always liked to see other people’s thoughts on an episode I just watched. And also a grid view instead of list.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. It is very much appreciated! Feel free to reach out to me via email at support@couchtim.es anytime for detailed support. I'm happy to help!

### 4/5 — Great app

*2026-07-18*

After losing TV time I downloaded about 10 different apps. Yours is the closest one I found to TV Time. It is very easy to maneuver. My only complaint is I wish it had a comment section. That is why I didn’t give it five stars.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. It is very much appreciated! Feel free to reach out to me via email at support@couchtim.es anytime for detailed support. I'm happy to help!

### 5/5 — Super, besonders jetzt..

*2026-07-10*

durch die Abschaltung von TV Time, deren App ich bisher genutzt habe. Der Import hat hervorragend und schnell funktioniert - im Gegensatz zu JustWatch, wo ich es zuerst probiert habe. Auf den ersten Blick ist die App ein klein wenig unübersichtlicher und ein bisschen weniger intuitiv als TV Time, vielleicht habe ich mich auch einfach über die Jahre zu sehr an die App gewöhnt - das wird die Zeit zeigen. Der Start war auf jeden Fall schon sehr gut.

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für dein Feedback. Ich freue mich sehr darüber! Für weiteres Feedback oder Support kannst du mich jederzeit per E-Mail unter support@couchtim.es kontaktieren. Ich helfe dir gerne!

### 4/5 — Truly stands out among the masses

*2026-07-08*

This app truly stands out among the masses. It has a beautiful native UI. Works offline and recently adapted the feature of importing data from tv time. 
My only gripe is if they can manage to develop a setting to hide or not give priority to "special episodes" those categorised as season 0 as not everyone feels compelled to watch the makings of a show or certain sketches and such that don't serve the main plot.  It also helps to keep your watchlist clear and easy to manage. All thanks go to the developer for taking their time in maintaining all of this. It's no easy task I'm sure

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. It is much appreciated! If I understand you correctly, you are looking for a setting to hide specials. This should be available under CouchTimes > Settings > Display > Shows. Feel free to reach out to me via email at support@couchtim.es anytime for detailed support. I'm happy to help!

### 5/5 — Beautiful CLEAN App!

*2026-07-04*

This is the closest I’ve found to the now defunct TV Time app, and I’ve tried nearly all of them in the App Store. Super clean, smooth, and only 35MB. This is how an app should be! Thank you dev!! 🤗

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. It is very much appreciated! Feel free to reach out to me via email at support@couchtim.es anytime for detailed support. I'm happy to help!

### 5/5 — Solid app

*2026-07-01*

This is your chance, with tv time announcing they’re shutting down it would be awesome if we could get a option for a layout just like it. I’d much prefer this posters in a grid rather than the current list.  

Also if possible would be nice to be able to change the poster art like on tvtime. I just think this could be a perfect time to get people to download the app. The comments aren’t needed unless you’ve already thought about adding it in the future.

Forget to add, please bring importing from tv time as well

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback; much appreciated! Feel free to reach out to me via email at support@couchtim.es anytime for detailed feedback or support. I'm happy to help!

### 5/5 — endlich eine gute App zum Tracken!

*2026-06-15*

Ich suche schon länger nach einer gut programmierten & designten App und muss sagen: Ich finde diese hier wirklich sehr gelungen! Vielen Dank dafür.

Ein paar Überlegungen, die das Nutzererlebnis meiner Meinung nach noch verbessern würden:
- Ordner erstellen können (z. B. „K-Dramas“, „Weihnachtsfilme“ etc.), damit man bei vielen Einträgen mehr Übersicht hat.
- Mehr Filter-/Sortiermöglichkeiten (oder als benutzerdefinierte Standardeinstellung), z. B. nach „zuletzt gesehen“, „zuerst gesehen“ oder „bestbewertet“. Ein grober Zeitpunkt (Monat) würde dafür schon ausreichen.
- Nach „Als gesehen markieren“ automatisch das Bewertungsfenster öffnen (natürlich mit der Möglichkeit, es zu schließen und später zu bewerten). So könnte man einen Film oder eine Serie direkt in einem Zug als gesehen markieren und bewerten, ohne anschließend extra auf das Bewertungsfeld gehen zu müssen. Dadurch vergisst man die Bewertung nicht und der Ablauf wirkt noch flüssiger.
- Einen zusätzlichen Haken wie „zum nochmal ansehen“ (ggf. mit automatischer Verknüpfung zu einem entsprechenden Ordner). So ließen sich persönliche Favoriten besser von „gut, aber einmal reicht“ unterscheiden.
(- Optional eine etwas detailliertere Bewertung, z.B. 10 statt 5 Sterne oder optional anklickbare Adjektive)

Aber trotz des ganzen Textes: Es ist wirklich eine tolle App! Vielen Dank für die Arbeit & Mühe 🤗

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für dein Feedback. Ich freue mich sehr darüber! Ich habe dein Feedback aufgenommen. Für weiteres Feedback oder Support kannst du mich jederzeit per E-Mail unter support@couchtim.es kontaktieren. Ich helfe dir gerne!

### 5/5 — Genau was ich gesucht habe.

*2026-05-23*

Es ist genau die App, die ich gesucht habe. Eine schlichte und übersichtliche App, die die Filme, die ich angeschaut habe, direkt abhacken kann. Kein blödes Abomodell oder mit Werbung überladen. Funktionen wie „demnächst“ runden das Gesamtpaket sehr gut. Es gibt nur einen Mangel, der mich stört: Die Filtermöglichkeiten könnten umfangreicher sein. Ich kann nicht nach Streaming-App filtern. Zwar bin ich sehr gut aufgestellt, aber hier und da fehlt mir die ein oder andere Streaming App. Es gibt auch keinen Hinweis, dass ein Film/Serie über meine Streaming App verfügbar ist. Wenn ich die nächste Film Inspiration für den Filmabend suche, muss ich dann leider zu oft die Streaming Apps öffnen. Auch kann man nicht nach Filmen/Serien von bestimmten Produzenten oder Schauspielern suchen oder nach Genre. Trotz allem eine App, die die 5 Sterne mehr als verdient hat. Weiter so!

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für dein Feedback. Ich freue mich sehr darüber! Für weiteres Feedback oder Support kannst du mich jederzeit per E-Mail unter support@couchtim.es kontaktieren. Ich helfe dir gerne!

### 5/5 — Laugh out loud

*2026-04-02, version 2.0.13*

What a fantastic concept for a show and loved all the comedian in this series. Had me laughing out loud throughout the series. Will be going back and watching series One now
