I don’t need another painfully gray app to track a fun hobby like watching TV and Films with friends. The DVD cases and episode stubs are great, keep up the good work 🙌🏾 ### 5/5 — Amazing Tracker ! *2026-08-21* Needed a replacement for TV time and this is the best one ! But I would love to make lists and review TV series as a whole rather along with episodes. ### 5/5 — Like If Apple Made A Tv Show Tracker *2026-08-09* One of the best Tracker out there, if not the best!! Dev continuously Updates and Add features. Give it a Try and you will not regret it!. STUBS AND COMPLETED ANIMATION BEST FEATURE :) **Developer response:** Thank you! 🙌🎟️ ### 5/5 — Incredible design and visuals. *2026-08-07* The visuals and presentations are unmatched. I use both OS so my request to the developer is make an android version in future so more people can witness this gretness as well as increased accessibility. ### 5/5 — Great tracker *2026-08-07* Closest to perfect tv show and movie tracker so far. Clean UI, not overwhelming with unnecessary features, fast and easy to use. Thank you so much for creating it! ### 5/5 — Interessante *2026-08-06* Diferente de todos os outros, estou acompanhando desde o começo ### 5/5 — A suggestion *2026-07-31* The app is great and looks so cool, I would just love to see one more feature on the app - it shows the stats for the TV shows you have watched and have been tracking, I would love to see those same stats for the movie that I have watched. ### 4/5 — Travado *2026-07-24* Adoro o app, mas ele está extremamente travado, toda vez que clico que assisti um episódio ele fica todo travado, então apesar dos adesivos serem incríveis, trava tanto que não consigo aproveitar :( **Developer response:** Fixed in the 1.4 update! ### 5/5 — Great *2026-07-21* Was looking for a good alt to TV Time after it shut down, and this is so much better than trakt, simkl and all the other bloated trackers. The ui is laggy but very well designed. Hope this app becomes even better over time! **Developer response:** Thanks for your review, I appreciate it! The lag issues are fixed in 1.4 now ## Frequently asked questions about Up Next ### Can I watch TV shows or movies with Up Next? No, Up Next is strictly for tracking what you are watching.
