Tap. Done. Watched an episode? Tap it. TicShow updates your progress and lines up the next one. Caught up on a whole season? Mark it in one go. Up next and For later Up next is for what you’re actually watching right now, with the next episode of each show ready to go. Everyone has a show they’ll “definitely finish”. That one goes to For later: out of Up next, but not forgotten. Your progress stays right where it was until you bring it back. Between seasons When a show is off the air, Upcoming counts down the days to its new episodes. New season confirmed but no date yet? You’ll see that too. And when it’s back, you pick up exactly where you left off.
