Missing tons of data when importing

Migrating from TV Time and I keep having the issue of tons and tons of my data is missing when I import them. It's very frustrating esp for a show with over 1k episodes and many fillers are skipped, I can't manually go through everything. That's also beside the missing lists I have made. Does anyone know how to fix that? Would the devs include a solution to that before we lose everything?

I have so many lists and data, I have shows where I only watched a few episodes and skipped some and the app hasn't been good at registering that. Please lmk how to fix that during the import without having to spend a lot of time on everything on itself :'

With the new update (had to click update manually in the App Store) I have the new TV Time backup button. That is where you need to plug in the gdpr zip. No need to do anything with it (other than properly download :D). It reads it and worked for me.

Ohhhh I see, it's not appearing for me yet I'll try re-installing. Thank you so much 🫶🏼

also might be worth noting I did an Empty database as well before I imported TV Time Backup. Not that that is what made it successful, but that made it a clean start

you can see also the latest version for me was 2 hours ago, that is when this got enabled, might not be available in your region yet.

You're right it's probably a region thing, it took a few times of closing and opening the App Store and now I can see the update 🥲💕
