Know what's on next. TrackShows is a simple tracker for the TV shows and movies you watch. No social feed, no badges, no adverts. Open the app and the first thing you see is the next unwatched episode of every show you follow. WHAT IT DOES - On Next: one list with your next unwatched episode of every show. Tick it off and the next one takes its place. - Episode alerts: one push notification on the day a new episode of a show you follow airs. Nothing else, ever. - Upcoming: shows between seasons wait under their own heading with the next air date. - Track everything: mark episodes, whole seasons or movies as watched in a tap, with season progress at a glance. - What's On: the week's trending shows and films when you want something new. - Spoiler-safe comments: talk about an episode with people who watched it. Comments are off by default, so nothing gets spoiled unless you opt in. WHAT IT DELIBERATELY DOES NOT DO No social feed. No adverts. No recommendation engine. Tracking your shows should take seconds, not become another feed to scroll. Moving from TV Time? TrackShows covers what you actually used it for: tracking, what to watch next, and new-episode alerts. Free, no adverts. Everything above stays free. TrackShows Premium is an optional subscription that adds shareable lists, rewatch tracking, viewing insights, a year in review, a home screen countdown widget and an episode calendar feed. It costs 9.99 GBP per year, renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends, and can be managed or cancelled in your App Store account settings.
