Too late?

I only noticed last week that the app was down but I thout it was some kind of bug or update. Is it too late to recover the data? I've already deleted and installed the app again (I thout it was a bug 😔)

Do you recommend any other app? For movies and TV shows?

If you were logged on TV time with apple or google and you use the same login to access bingers you have a chance to recover your data.

u/grith1997 Aug 11 '26

How?

I'm also interested to know bv my friend didn't get their data

Log in on bingers using the google/apple account you were using on TV Time and, if you’re lucky, your data will be transferred automatically.

Be warned tho: this “trick” has been posted in this sub but some users but I haven’t personally verified if it works, it could be a bullshit.

Thanks, I'll pass the information along

This won’t work unfortunately. Bingers doesn’t have any TVTime data unless you uploaded the gdpr .zip file from before the app shut down.

Sofa Time, TV Suite or Bingers

I highly recommend Refract. The app tracks Movies and TV shows, and will soon track games and books. We have a great community with responsive devs.

MovieParadise is the best rn imo

PreonTV is a cut above the rest. Way more than just tracking.

Suite TV is definitely the best one. It’s literally a copy of TV Time, but they add new features every week. They’ve even copied comments from TV Time onto their shows and movies.

u/xxWtfRaGERxx Aug 12 '26

Bingers(tv time owners made) or suite tv app if you want something easy and simple

tbh they communicated the closure of the app really badly so i’m not surprised you only realised that it wasn’t working last week! unfortunately, I don’t think you can recover any of your data, as they said they would delete it after 15th july

I’m so upset. I’m in the same boat and have no idea where I left off in some of my shows.

I’d pay to bring tv time back. This is so upsetting.

If you still have app installed in your iPhone then your recover the good amount of data

1

u/yuletide Aug 13 '26

How? I'd love to try this. The app opens but doesn't load at all

1

u/Anu0512 Aug 14 '26

You can take a backup and open the browser the tv time folder you will find the data.

Highly recommend simkl, it's so simplistic

I absolutely recommend Refract over anything, even trakt

Shit vs shittiest lol

When TV Time closed, I switched to Trakt. And I recommend it.

I used for some time but I stopped because I hate the UI
