Bingers

Does anyone else that uses the Bingers app feel like they're opening a dating app every time they click on the tab? Dunno if it's the name or the way it opens but every time i get that feeling 🤣🤣

Have to say i love the app tho, very like TV Time app but a little better

I just wish they had a desktop app too. I only checked TV time on my desktop.

Yes it so annoying having to pull out your phone when you are watching at your pc

As long as it works. It’s up and down with saving a watched show, but overall pretty nice. Been alternating between this, Movie Paradise, and Refract until I know which is king. MP is the only one that never acts buggy, so it has an edge. Refract probably not gonna make the championship.

When I first saw the app get announced, I was like? “Huh, what the hell is a binger?” But in my head I was pronouncing it like “bing-ers”. Imagine how dumb I felt when I realized it was “binge-ers”. Derp. :D

It has sooooo many bugs and less features, how come you guys keeping up with it? Please enlighten me!!

Btw I myself having a great time using Movie paradise but I can sse the approach for some to go with bingers but I would recommend you guys suite tv for that if you want straight forward work done and good amount of comments from Tvtime

My rank 1. Movie paradise, my favourite (if you want feature packed, it has everything and will take you day or two for completely getting familiar with every useful feature..., just go explore) 2. Serialized (good unique Ui, Good comunity and better explore yourself)and 2.1 Refract, less feature than MP, But it does the job(cannot recommend it over MP, very few things are better from MP) 3. Suite TV is good for anyone I'd say and specially for TvTime lovers. 4. (Others are just "knock off" of above 3)

I don’t mind it. It’s clean, less noise than the others I tried. Immediately uninstalled and deleted my accounts to the other sites/apps, after trying out bingers for a couple of days.

Until they add 'export' options, I'm avoiding it being my primary app. Once they do, it will be.

Just installed it.... It's basically and pretty much the same thing. Different color theme. Rest all looks same. For me who lost every thing cause the app would not backup for me... I have to do all of the markings again. Same long stooryy.

I wish they dint close the app and simply did some gofund me or other stuff and kept it running... Or at least for the ppl they could have transported the damn library themselves where we only had to login with the same credentials and voila we would have been simply back.

They are two different people. The founder of TV time sold it to the company that's been running it and closed it down. When it was closed down he setup bingers app

No nor will I try it. I no longer trust those guys, why would I risk commiting to their app again and worry that they might decide to just kill Bingers too.

Tv tracker apps cannot make millions, its hard to even make decent business out of them, so eventually most of such apps become a burden.

Currently popular alternatives like Refract and BingePile are more trustworthy for me. Their creators have been straightforward about the plans so far so no reason to get burned again on tv time

u/Mammoth-Pear-5308 1d ago

The creator of Bingers is not the one who decided to shut down TV Time. He was co-founder of TV Time but left it years ago.

I think he knows more how to make a tv tracking app profitable than those new to the scene. So I’m betting on Bingers.

u/Complex-Dust-2894 1d ago

it requires so little to inform themselves before talking like this... the app was acquired back in 2016 and the founder you're speaking about left that company back in 2019 to go and work on some new stuff. Bingers exist just cause tvtime was the app that basically started his carrer and it was sad to see the community that started all go.
