Next Episode - Track TV Shows Reviews

by Jesserpoo

I love NextEpisode, but there's one hiccup. It refuses to sync with local times. Not a problem if you live on the east coast, but us west coasters get the notifications 3 hours ahead because NextEpisode just won't sync correctly. There's a toggle to do it but it seems to do nothing. The whole reason I went for the paid version was to get the notifications so it's a bit of a disappointment. Otherwise NextEpisode is great. I love the calendar of shows and it's ease of use and minimal ads. Thanks for that, but please fix time zones!

(Using NextEpisode on new iPhone 7 and updated iOS for those who may think it could be due to that)

This is a great app to track your shows and movies in one handy app. If you purchase NextEpisode , you get notifications and can add all the shows you want.
The pause feature lets you take shows that you haven't caught up on off the watch list so your watch list isn't too cluttered. But it's still part of your shows and you can unpause and restart tracking at any time.
Recommendations could use a little work. Also you have to access movies through the More button. I'd appreciate it if they gave movies it's own button. Another thing I really wish they had is checklists. Another app has this feature and I really liked it. Mostly because it's impossible to uncheck an episode you accidentally marked as watched on NextEpisode. You have to delete then re-add the show.
This is one of my most used apps and I liked it so much, I purchased the full version. You should too,you won't regret it!

This is a good reliable app to track all of your favorite TV shows you may follow. It doesn't have all of the bells and whistles some of the other tracking apps may have, and it may not even have my favorite look and feel next to a few others, but the one thing I can say about NextEpisode is it works. It delivers your notifications when it should and so far it's never crashed on me. I can't say I've had the same experience with some of the other TV tracking apps. In fact without mentioning names, one app I tried and loved the look and feel of and wanted to pay for the premium version of said app, but 3 times I entered all my favorite TV shows to follow and 3 times it crashed and I lost my whole list. Also notifications weren't alerting me about show times. What good is a great looking app if it doesn't perform well. Where NextEpisode may lack in looks, which let's face it only comes down to preference and my opinion anyhow, or features, it makes up for in it's stability and function.

I was looking for a better app to keep track of movies and TV shows that I want to watch and stumbled across Next Episode. I had been using generic task and checklist apps up to this point and NextEpisode is so much better since it's specifically geared towards watchable media. I haven't run into a single show that it's missing yet - including obscure Japanese shows on Netflix. It's also kinda fun to add movies and shows that you've already seen to build your "library" of watched shows. As someone else mentioned, just wish that movies had its own devoted button as opposed to being found on the more/settings menu. Otherwise, very cool app!!

For my own reason. I like to have a badge on my app in the home see how many i watched episodes I have. I understand that most people wouldn’t like that. But maybe have it as an available option. Also, tracking movies on NextEpisode could be a little better by having its own tab in the bottom. It’s annoying to have to go through extra clicks. However, whoever runs NextEpisode is amazing at getting shows on here that aren’t listed. I usually get my rare shows added in less than 24 hours so kudos to him on that. If my personal preferences get added this would be a 5star app and it probably is a 5 star app for most people already who don’t have the same preferences as me :)

I have had this application since it’s creation and it is literally perfect! It will have every single episode of every show, whenever it’s playing wherever it’s playing. The user interface with it is perfect. You can modify which episodes you’ve watched and which ones you haven’t. It will list every show playing and all it’s episodes no matter which application it’s playing on. If you have any problems with anything or notice any errors on the application, you can contact him and he will reply shortly! I’m watching/tracking so many shows right now, I have no idea what I’d do without Next Episode.

by CathieLB

I’ve used this for many years and it is a solid performer. I’ve tried other TV tracking Apps that have come and gone, but this is, by far, the best. When I find an App that works this well, I’m happy to pay to upgrade. Keeps track of episodes of shows watched, whether still active or cancelled and provides notification of premier dates. So many features And highly customizable for personal preferences. No annoying crashes and account can be accessed on website, as well. Highly recommend.

Let’s face it, we live in the age of Peak TV. There are so many high quality, well-written, must watch shows that it can difficult to keep track of them all - let alone where you are in the midst of those shows that are several seasons long. That’s where Next Episode comes in. It’s an intuitive, attractive-looking, and efficient way to both keep tabs on what you’re watching and discover new shows. You’ll find you use it frequently, and start to wonder how you ever got by without it. Yes, I dare say NextEpisode makes watching TV even more fun. So what’s good on the tube this week? Download Next Episode today and find out.

I’m very happy to have NextEpisode. It is great for tracking shows, finding new ones, and the support is fast and friendly. The developer is happy to add new shows when possible (not all shows can be, for technical reasons). The developer is polite and not at all bothersome in asking for support from users. I don’t have much but I was happy to give what I could as I appreciate his good manners and hard work on this project. I’d highly recommend NextEpisode.

I personally can’t stand ads or subscription models for apps, so I think it’s important to support developers that use better methods, like this one. That’s why I’ve donated in the past.

Keep up the great work! 😊

by BatSplatMan

I use NextEpisode ritually. It’s on the home page on my phone. It’s almost second nature to use it for me. Where if NextEpisode were gone I would miss it functionally. I even find myself donating for support for the developer just to ensure NextEpisode continues. Donations are voluntary just for support and do not auto renew by the way. Very simple app but very useful. The developers will even add shows per request. All they ask in return is a helpful review. I have only had to request one show in a few years of using NextEpisode because they are on top of it. Best feature is when your excited for a show returning for a new season, you literally have it down to exact days as long as they have announced a date for the next season. Again very simple but so effective. This is one of my top used apps on a daily basis. Keep up the good work and thanks !

NextEpisode is everything. I have literally been using it for 5 years now and it’s amazing. I have a super busy work schedule but I still enjoy shows and movies. If it wasn’t for NextEpisode, I would forget what show is airing when or when and episode has passed that I need to catch up on. I love that it creates a To Watch checklist which helps me keep track. Otherwise I would forget what season and episode I’m on. NextEpisode developer has also been amazing over the past 5yrs. He responds fast, accommodates all requests, and pays for all maintenance requests out of pocket only backed by donations. If you love it as much as I do, donate like I did to help him out!

by Mamamick_ri

Seriously. I swear I looked at every single TV tracking app in NextEpisode store before I found this one. I wanted only one app to keep track of shows I'm watching, show me new shows that are coming out soon that I don't already know about, AND suggest existing shows that were popular in the past that I may be interested in. This took the place of the three apps I used to have to look at to get all the same information. BONUS: it also costs me less to support this developer then it cost me for any 1 of the others, ALONE, let alone how much I paid for all 3 added together. Why are you still reading this review? Go push "get".

by Stacylou

i love NextEpisode! i used to track all of my tv shows and movies in a task list. it was a real pain to jeep organized. NextEpisode has been a real game changer. aside from knowing which episode i’m up to and which streaming service it’s on, it lets me know how many days until a new season is starting. until yesterday, every show i searched for was already in the database. i just asked for a show to be added and the developer did it within a few hours. if you’re nostalgic, another nearly thing is that you can add a show like SNL and see every listings for every episode of 37 seasons with the name of the host and musical guest! highly recommend!

by OnlyDavid

NOT!

What happened to regular schedules when I could depend upon my favorite show coming at the same time week after week? Apparently, that thinking is so last decade!

NextEpisode helps relieve the frustration of not knowing when to expect your favorite shows to drop.

Some network shows appear a day earlier than they're available for streaming. I guess they get broadcast first. Other episodes mysteriously disappear and reappear at a later date. I can’t blame the developers for that.

There is a setting to alert you the following day after a show drops. It’s a good way to be alerted when a show airs before it is streamed.

The support is excellent. If a show isn’t in the list a request to the developer will fix it in a day or two.

It’s not the greatest interface. I’d like to see previous episodes appear in the listing too. Sometimes I look at NextEpisode , and a show disappears because the episode dropped rather than gets rescheduled. I can quickly query that, but it’d be nice to know without querying. However, NextEpisode is stable and remembers my settings.

by Cecoleman

I have use NextEpisode for many years and I have found it to be the most functional TV tracking app on NextEpisode Store. It’s the only one I have found that actually gives you a nice list of upcoming shows and their air date. I like how it tells you how many days until that show airs I can’t believe that more apps don’t do it that way on NextEpisode Store. The widget is great and allowing you to pick the Up Next list, however, it is the old widget style and not the newer ones introduced in iOS 14 three years ago. The developer desperately needs a modern widget option.

by Gaould

I have had NextEpisode for a few years and love it. It helps me not miss programs, it is very easy to add or remove shows that you want to watch. When I emailed a suggested show to add, it was added by the next day. That kind of service is so nice to receive! I am a paid Patron and am very grateful NextEpisode does not auto renew. If you watch a lot of TV, I recommend NextEpisode to you. You can even add a show that is no longer airing (it will be placed in the inactive category), to see how many seasons there were and how many shows per season and what each episode was about.

I got NextEpisode before it went free, and was rewarded by being offered the pro version for 1/2 the price. For the negative reviews confused by this, NextEpisode wasn't free to us early adopters. The ability to keep track of the shows you watch, when they air, what episode is next (hence the name), is absolutely indispensable in this day of uncertainty of TV. NextEpisode has helped keep me from missing shows when they've switched networks, or if a special is airing that otherwise I would have missed. I originally spent $2.99 on NextEpisode 4 years ago, and gladly gave the developer another $1.99 to support all of the updates they've provided. Mostly because I'm hoping that this will lead to the development of a universal app, so I can finally view it on my iPad mini!

by Lisa Brodman

I have already written how amazing NextEpisode is. Simply chose the tv shows that you are interested in watching and NextEpisode tracks them for you and gives you a daily listing of your shows. The list stays current and you swipe once you view the show. It tracks my regular channels and my cable channels like HBO. And ANYTIME I want a show added, I simply go to the settings, click on add a show and in less than 24 hours my show is added. I have never had an issue with NextEpisode, there are NO annoying purchase screens and the customer service is top notch. HIGHLY recommend!!!!!!!

by Megeohdkgsigvdgjvg

Great for staying on top of what coming on and keeping me ahead of any scheduling conflicts like too many shows recording at once. Love the feature recommended for you based on favorites shows. Got the free app but it was well worth paying a couple dollars for the pro version. I’ve added hundreds and hundreds of shows I’ve watched and still continue to find new shows I like based on recommendations from my shows I’ve watched. I use NextEpisode everyday and couldn’t manage my tv viewing without it. You need it

Only thing I wish it had was section that lists which of my favorited shows have been canceled to be able to see only what matters to me, not the hundred networks cancel every season.

by Cb60089

NextEpisode is great at organizing my shows. It lets me know when the next episode will be on. I also like how it recommends other shows like the one I'm watching. I've discovered some great shows this way. The Notification Center is really nice showing a quick look at when my show will be on. Even if it's months away until next season I still enjoy the future outlook. If your show doesn’t show up when you search NextEpisode developer is very helpful. I even enter movies after I see the trailer that won’t come out for months. NextEpisode then reminds me when it comes out. I Have no complaints

This is by far the best tv tracking app that I currently use. I currently use Hobi, TV Time, and iShow and although their apps are flashy with a litany of useless functions this one lets you track and analyze your shows with ease. With other apps I have to swipe multiple times just to see when my favorite shows are playing next, with NextEpisode I click the calendar, it’s crazy how much better NextEpisode is to use. If u like a flashy looking app with somewhat useful functionality that you may use once or twice then go with another app. But if you want an app that does what it says and places it’s somewhat useful options aside from the tracking go with NextEpisode. Also not sure if NextEpisode is free or not because I’ve been using it for about a year or more but that would be a definite plus as well.

by Caseyt1369

I always make impulse buys that I regret, but I will never regret this buy. I’ve had NextEpisode for at least a year, and I use it every single day. I’m an avid tv and movie watcher (pathetic, I know) but it’s so hard to keep track of them all. This organizes everything and makes it so I never miss an episode or forget about a show that gets renewed. It tells you when shows get cancelled, if they get picked up again, it gives you recommendations (only if you want). It’s easy to learn too! I know this review is all over the place but if you are thinking about buying NextEpisode- just do it! You won’t regret it!

by Psych4mnrs

Have all of your shows and movies at your fingers. NextEpisode has found all of the movies and shows that I searched for. I also love the feature to click on IMBD for more information. I also use the What’s next, recent and upcoming shows. NextEpisode is an organized way to keep up with when your favorite shows are coming up so you won’t miss episodes. NextEpisode also shows all of the past and present seasons and episodes. I am 62 years old and my memory is not what it used to be. NextEpisode helps me access my shows and movies easily and quickly. It is very user friendly. I love NextEpisode!

by ItsYouNoItsNot

This is easily one of the best apps I've found on NextEpisode Store, in any category. It works flawlessly, letting me track the TV shows and movies that I used to keep in an Excel spreadsheet. I've tried other TV and movie tracking apps, but none of them even come close to the level of quality and consistency that this app provides. NextEpisode has a good, clean, professional-looking interface that makes things very user-friendly and stylish too. The upgrade to Pro is absolutely worth it. Not expensive at all, but the added features are solid, and it's a great way of supporting the developer(s?), who is constantly updating NextEpisode and providing fixes. They're also super-responsive to questions and comments via email, which is a huge plus in my book.

Bottom line: if you watch a lot of TV or movie, buy it today!

by DrHeavyGamer

If you like TV this is NextEpisode . It combines everything you need to create your own personalized cross between rotten tomatoes IMDb and a custom TV guide. No nonsense and totally unique so far no glitches in the software and you can even request shows that for some reason might have been overlooked. The next hopeful addition will be a direct connection to either an app running the highlighted show when it is available or a network when it is showing. Kudos this one is worth paying for

by Cookese31

I LOVE NextEpisode! I can't live without it. I check it everyday because there are so many channels and shows on now, I can't keep straight what's coming on and when. I LOVE that it tells me when a NEW episode is airing, how long until my fave shows come back, and the time and even the channel!! And the feedback and customer service is second to none. They wrote me back AND added a feature I asked for. Awesome app and feedback. Thank you!! And searching for and adding favorite shows is so simple and easy.

by Brad - OLR

This is the only app you need to keep track of all of your TV shows. The developer provides incredible support. We have been users of the free version of NextEpisode for years, but recently became paying subscribers and we are so glad we did. There’s also an accompanying website that goes with this with forums and lots of other resources that are helpful. Excellent job. We will continue to refer as many people to this platform and app as possible! Love it!
