Keep track of all the TV shows you're watching, and all the shows you haven't gotten to yet. Every time you watch an episode, mark it. Previously On remembers where you left off, gives you a list of what's next to watch, and tells you where to stream it — so you can stop keeping that mental list, just sit back and watch. Take a look at what's airing soon, or browse through your history to refresh your memory when a friend needs a quick show recommendation. • iPhone and iPad versions, crafted with care by an individual developer who wanted a watchlist that did things none of the other TV tracker apps ever did. I made this for me, and I'm giving it to you because, hey, why not? • Group your shows by who you're watching them with. Watch some shows with your friends, and others by yourself, maybe a few queued up for date night? Previously On lets you tag each and switch between them easily. You can even keep track of rewatches. • Automatic sorting, with easy override. Previously On keeps the newest shows and the ones you're watching now at the top of your list. If it gets it wrong, or you sometimes want to order your backlog yourself, just drag shows up or down, and it'll remember. • Filter by streaming service, mark your favorites, and see where you can stream each show. Want to see which streaming services you can cancel, or know when it's a good time to sign back up? Filters will help you see which services are actually worthwhile for you, right now. • Quick links to see shows in IMDb, Callsheet, streaming services (where available), Metacritic, and more. • No account, no ads, no tracking, no in-app purchases. Your library stays in sync across your devices via iCloud's private sync. Export and save all your data right from your device, instantly, anytime you want. • Automatically merges data from multiple providers, for a more complete set of listings, show details, and artwork. • Import your whole TV Time* or Television Time history in one step, and pick up right where you left off. (*TV Time shut down on July 15 2026, so you can import if you exported and saved your data before then).

Quick Reviews's advantage is ratings volume (19 vs 1) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
