Do you remember TV Time formerly known as TVShow Time? Happy 15th anniversary to TV Time (2011-2026)! You know the story.

TV Time (formerly TVShow Time) is a tracking platform and social television network for TV and movies, available in app and desktop forms. Using TheTVDB as a data source, it allows users to store information about their media consumption and leave reviews.

Things Go Dark: On July 1, 2026, TV Time announced the cessation of its operations effective July 15, 2026, with its website and app ceasing to function after that time.

Features: Every registered TV Time user has their own profile. When a user opens the app, four tabs appear at the bottom of the screen: Shows, Movies, Discover and Profile.

• Shows - Watch List: A list of show posters or thumbnails with episode descriptions (depending on a user's preference). Here, users can see what shows to watch next, what they have not seen in a while, and their watch history based on which shows they have added to their Watch List. In the poster view, a yellow progress bar that illustrates the user's progression on a show. This tab also allows one to mark an episode as "watched". In the thumbnail view, users have the option to  swipe right or press the check mark next to the episode description. In the poster view, users click the check mark within the episode pages.

1. Show Pages: Once an episode is marked as watched, individual episode pages reveal comments from the TV Time community and gives the ability to rate the episode, express feelings, and vote for favorite characters. There is a no spoiler rule in place, so unless a user has marked the episode as watched, this content will remain hidden
2. Upcoming: The "Upcoming" section works as a reminder for future episodes of shows a user has followed. Users can also opt in to receive push notifications an hour before a show airs.

• Movies - Watch List: Similar to the Shows tab, a list of movie posters appears. Here, users can movies they have added to their Watch List. This tab also allows one to mark an episode as watched by going into the movie and selecting the check mark next to the movie description.

1. Movie Pages: Movie pages allow users to rate the film, express feelings, and vote for favorite characters. The “no spoiler rule” applies here as well if a user has not marked the movie as watched, they will not see comments left by the TV Time community.
2. Upcoming: The "Upcoming" list features movies a user has added to their Watch List that have yet to be released.

• Discover: The app offers an explore feature which allows users to discover new shows according to different criterion, such as genre and popularity.

1. Search & Discover More: The search bar lets users find shows, movies, and other users within TV Time. If a user isn't sure what to watch next, they have the option of using the "Discover More" feature. This section has genre filtering capabilities, show status options (ongoing or ended), and trending series (what's popular or the “most binged”).
2. Recommendations: The "Top Shows for You" field displays programming that a user may want to add to their Watch List based on genres and shows that they enjoy.
3. Trending: "Trending Shows & Movies" "features what's currently popular in TV Time based on the number of user comments within the last 3 days while "Recent Activity" displays series that a users’ in-app friends are following.

• Profile - Stats: The top of a user's profile features certain stats, such as how much time the user has spent watching TV a.k.a. their “TV Time.” This clock shows an estimated amount of time a user has spent watching television. The accumulated time is based on the episodes marked as watched and their duration. This is also available for movies in the “Movie Time” section. The top also features a number of episodes and movies watched by a user, which is based on the number of episodes a user has marked as watched. Another "Stats" option at the bottom of the profile allows a user to dig deeper with graphs, badges, and rankings.

1. Show & Movie Lists: A user's profile displays recent shows/films that they have tracked. A profile may also show off lists of favorite shows/films if the user has chosen to do so. Users also have the option to get creative with “custom lists” that can combine both movies and television series.
2. Badges: Another characteristic of the profile is the display of badges. Badges are rewards that every user gets when using TV Time. They are divided in two main categories: discovery badges and addiction badges. Discovery badges are given when the user makes use of the site's features for the first time. Addiction badges, on the other hand, are given to the user when they interact with TV shows.

Languages: TV Time is currently available in fourteen languages: Arabic, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Turkish. Users are able to filter their preferred languages in the app so they only see comments and reactions from the community in the languages they choose.
