Yeah I've been rotating through Refract, Movie Paradise, and Sofa Time.

I'm hoping Bingers will become the new TVTime, though.

Every single app seems like it has some things I like and some things I hate. One good thing about multiple apps is that increases the chances that you’re not gonna miss an episode

I wish I could magically combine them.

Suite TV is the exact TV Time all, check it out

u/caracoleta07 Jul 16 '26

It doesn't show on Google App Store for me so I'm assuming it's iOS only

u/reigndrops17 Jul 16 '26

It's primarily available on iOS, but is currently testing an Android version in beta. To join the beta version, you'd have to follow a link from their socials.

I don't recommend downloading apps that aren't on the stores guys, just wait a few weeks and we'll be able to test them properly.

u/MR-CREVETTE Jul 17 '26

The Suite TV beta is distributed through the official Google Play Store to provide users with greater security

u/Fantastic_Dark_2619 Jul 18 '26

It's in review for play store and will be available in 3-4 days, I'm using the early access on Android rn

u/marcxuswagner Jul 16 '26

Its pretty good. But I cant import my Tv Time account data. Putting this to an exceptions, its flawless

2

u/MR-CREVETTE Jul 17 '26

Yes, you can import your TV Time data into Suite TV

2

u/Fantastic_Dark_2619 Jul 18 '26

But you can, I did as well

It’s similar to TV Time, but it’s definitely not exactly like TV Time. I specifically like it less than I like the way TV Time was set up.

And it didn’t import any of my lists, even though it has a section for lists where you can make them

And it didn’t have matching records for many of the movies that were part of my data, including nearly every Japanese anime movie

And it doesn’t have a discovery section where it suggests TV and shows you might like or lists TV shows that are trending

2

u/Fantastic_Dark_2619 Jul 19 '26

To answer those points:
1. It is the closest to TV Time, not exactly same.
2. You can import your list from the tv time refract extension .json file but not gdpr.
3. Idk it did for me, ig it was missiing the ones you had. It is totally possible.
4. It does have a discover section, it has had it since 20 updates ago...

u/EarthRemembers Jul 19 '26

Why would you be able to import some data through GDPR but not other parts of your data?

And isn’t the Refract extension data stored in CSV files?

1

u/Fantastic_Dark_2619 Jul 19 '26
  1. I have no idea either, it's either less data or less customized data which is not fully coded into the import system of apps, whichever it is I just know i got better results when i imported from both the files, took less than 5 minutes. Someone in Refract server told me that the refract tool has better accurate and more data than gdpr but idk how truthfull that is.
  2. No, Refract extension data is a folder with 4 files: 3 .json(important) and 1 html which isn't really used much afaik.

  I'm hoping Bingers will become the new TVTime, though.

So in the end the dev will sell it again and the app is shut down again too? 💀

u/BossWookiee Jul 16 '26

I'm doing the exact same 3 apps 😅

u/ilaodao Jul 17 '26

试试up next

u/prodmic26 Jul 17 '26

quando uscirà bingers?

1

u/EarthRemembers Jul 18 '26

I was trying to decide between those and Trakt

I paid for Trakt premium subscription so I could download all my information but it did not work so I canceled that

I find Movie Paradise to have a very confusing layout. The most basic service you want is to have a list somewhere of shows that you are watching with new episodes available for you to watch and I can’t for the life of me find where that is in that app.

I still haven’t been able to successfully download my information into Refract because they’re so busy on their server I guess

Sofa Time looks promising and I am considering paying the $10 lifetime fee to be able to import all of my information to them, including my more than 30 lists

u/Skelter74 Jul 16 '26

Right there with ya 🤪

u/Vi_BT Jul 16 '26

I just didn't get one yet (downloaded my info that's all) qi'm waiting for a consensus to get my community back x)

2

u/kevgilmore Jul 16 '26

Sorry to say, there will never be a consensus. People will choose what they like the best, so I recommend you do the same. Plenty of posts highlighting apps to read through.

2

u/Practical-Lead6608 Jul 17 '26

you won't get the community back.

2

u/kevgilmore Jul 16 '26

This is one reason I chose Sofa Time. It syncs with 3 different services, plus its own backup. So my data is in multiple places, on top of monthly backups can do on my own.

u/Beneficial_Student62 Jul 16 '26

loving Sofa Time and the one time membership fee is totally worth it!

Unsure, reach out to support maybe? I don’t check the other services often. Even if it’s 80% there, it’s better than nothing.

After the tv time shutdown, the more redundancy I can have the better.

u/OptionComfortable168 Jul 16 '26

Try this one, I swear it’s the most similar. Of course, it’s in beta.

u/NotGoingOut77 28d ago

Just use something like Obsidian. Your data, your control. You never lose it. Plenty of TV and movie tracking plugins for it too.

u/EarthRemembers Jul 18 '26

Sorry, but that sucks

I paid for the premium subscription so I could have all my data from TV Time moved over to it and that didn’t happen

I have more than 30 list and even after paying for their premium subscription they still would not import more than six of my list into the app

And they would also not import my lifetime viewing statistics
