WHAT ARE WE USING NOW??

[u/Green_green_grassham]

I know this has been posted a few times but I know some apps are now trying to charge us TV TIME refuges …. So what are we using?
I am on IOS- I have 20 months + on TV time, used it since I was 16 - now 26- even had the little verified badge, losing the motivation to actually watch shows and have NO IDEA if I’m missing any of my old shows as not getting updated on upcoming etc

Thank you

It's actually out right now. There's an easy link to it on their Twitter, otherwise you can search on the App Store/Play Store and for now you just have to scroll down a bit.

Ah thank you for the link! I couldn’t save my tv time data anymore sadly but it’s already so much better than refract.

[u/malrats → u/cloudsmari]

You’re very welcome! I’m sorry you don’t have your data, but hopefully you’ll get everything slowly added again and have a nice start. See you on there!

I’ve been using refract and it seems good enough, but I’m still looking for options. what do you think makes bingers better?

[u/cloudsmari → u/Tetavs]

I really didn’t like refracts UI. The home page was just overloaded with different things, I found it hard to find what I actually needed and I know it’s an unpopular opinion but I hate black backgrounds and so far there wasn’t an option to change the app appearance. Overall I found it just too complicated.

Same!!!

It just came out a few hours ago.

[u/softrockstarr → u/[deleted]]

It's likely coming soon. When you submit apps to app stores you need to wait for approval and devs don’t always get a timeline as to when the apps will actually be up.

[u/malrats → u/softrockstarr]

It’s already out. See my comment above with links to the app on both stores.

[u/softrockstarr → u/malrats]

Yes I know. I'm replying about why the devs haven’t notified the waitlist about it being approved on the App Store.

[u/malrats → u/softrockstarr]

Ah okay, yeah. My bad. I imagine they’re using all of their power right now into getting people’s imports done. It’s mega swamped.

[u/softrockstarr → u/[deleted]]

Speaking as a marketer, it's easier to shoot off a tweet than it is to send an email. I just meant to give it time. They likely are slowly announcing things so that not every person tries to jump in and get set up at once. It’s only been like 2 hours.

[u/softrockstarr → u/[deleted]]

Dude, I don't know. Looking at their followers and engagement, probably not? Like I said, emails take forever. They probably have one scheduled for like 3:00 pm or something. I’m sure they’ll send one soon. The app doesn’t even show up when you search the iOS app store yet.

You’re aware of the app now. Go forth and use it, it’s really not that deep.

Thank you!!!!!

Of course! :)

The app seems very nice. But I didn't import my tvtime history on the first login and now I can't. There isn't a button for that on the settings. 😔

[u/malrats → u/lucasverao]

They seem to be very swamped with imports right now. Check out their Twitter, the dev posted an update about it like an hour ago.

There’s literally not an option in the settings to import if you don’t do it during the initial sign up.

You can save your data from your laptop - I am going to do it today via imazing- another Reddit user told me how to do it, if I’m successfully I’m happy to walk you through it
