For traditional broadcasts, you can also add upcoming shows to Calendar – although the timings only work if you’re in the USA.ĭig deeper and you’ll find more features: Trakt support spoiler hiding ratings data export a Stats tap for if you really want to know how long you’ve spent with your eyes glued to a TV screen. You’ll get the option to mark all previous episodes as watched – and set that as the default action in future, if you like. Swipe the show’s banner to the right, tap Episodes, and then tap the most recent one you’ve seen. Speaking of, To Watch wisely lets you quickly state how far you’ve got in any given series. (56 episodes of The Walking Dead waiting, because you can’t bear to see what Negan did with his baseball bat? Yeah.) The To Watch tab, though, provides a running total of how many episodes you have to get through in those shows you’ve already stored. In the Shows tab, you’ll find countdowns for the next episodes of traditional broadcasts (and those released, for example, weekly on streaming networks), along with an indication of when announced shows are going to arrive. Once you’ve added some shows, the app clearly makes a distinction between the different ways in which modern TV is consumed. The Discover tab mostly concentrates on wildly popular fare, but Search can get you to the more obscure end of the spectrum. You get started by adding a bunch of TV shows you’re interested in. Rather than assisting you in finding out where a TV show is available, Television Time’s primarily interested in helping you keep track of shows you’ve seen – right down to each individual episode – and making time for ones you’d like to see. But for quickly discovering which services or cinemas are showing something you’d like to see, JustWatch is an excellent option. So if you want a reminder about the next episode of Doctor Who or Picard, you’ll have to look elsewhere. Ratings are binary (like/dislike), and there’s no ‘upcoming’ list for traditionally broadcast shows. The Watchlist itself has a couple of drawbacks compared to other apps in this round-up. For movies still in theaters, you’ll get local listings.
When your choice is something you can watch at home, options will be listed by price or – if available on streaming – number of available episodes. This page is also where you add the item to your Watchlist tab, and find out how you can view it. Once you find something interesting, tap the show or movie’s artwork to access an info page, which provides trailers, casting information, runtime and ratings. It’s also possible to search for specific movies or TV shows. These tabs have advanced filtering options, so you can hone in on a particular provider, rating, price, or genre. New and Popular, respectively, outline new arrivals and what others are watching, on the services you defined. Home lists TV shows and movies it thinks you’ll like. The first three of JustWatch’s tabs enable different forms of discovery. You kick things off by informing the app about your preferences (by tapping cover art), and then stating which streaming services you have access to. JustWatch gives you a fighting chance of figuring out where to watch shows and movies you like the sound of. Depending on your needs and preferences, you might choose to run a couple of the apps listed in all cases, they should reduce how long it takes to find something to watch, thereby freeing up more time for the actual viewing part. Others are concerned with listing what you’ve watched – and what you thought – so you can revisit the best stuff and never rewatch a duff flick again. This round-up, then, is all about the best apps for tracking your viewing habits. Unless you have these great apps installed, of course. Throw in movies, and keeping tabs on everything becomes akin to a full-time job. The snag: working out where something is showing – and when – takes far too much time and effort. Many shows have also been ‘freed’ from the shackles of terrestrial TV networks and cable, instead appearing on ad-free all-you-can-eat streaming services. There’s so much TV these days that it can be overwhelming. Need to know what’s on – and where? These apps will help you track what you want to watch Hi! Thanks for reading.
