TV Forecast 4+

Ever since the actual best tracking app stopped being updated, I’ve started using this one because it’s the best available - but that doesn’t mean it’s Actually the best. The check in process could be more intuitive, having to switch pages between tracking unmatched episodes and upcoming episodes is frustrating, and there’s a lot of white space that feels like it could be put to better use. But it’s better looking than everything else, so I’ll use it. But I hope for more.

I’m always on the lookout for a new TV tracking app, and I was really excited about TV Forecast. I love the look of this app. It feels so clean and modern, and it’s a pleasure to be in.

Using it is a different story. If it’s barebones by design, I think it’s gone too far in that direction. I’d like even a small level of customization options. When I’m looking at Up Next, I see the next episode to air, not the next unwatched episode. This means nothing if I’m not caught up. When I’m looking at Your Progress, I have no options for changing the order (that I could see). It defaults to alphabetical, but it would great to be able to sort by number of episodes left unwatched, or air date of the next unwatched episode.

And this is a BIG pet peeve of mine. It alphabetizes shows starting with “The” under T. So the only sort order is alphabetical, but even THAT doesn’t function accurately.

I’ll keep this app, and I look forward to updates. But if I’m going to pay a subscription fee, I’d love to see this kind of basic functionality.

I love this app. I’ve been using Next Episode for years and it was good but this app does the same with a fresh design and clean interface . I have switched over and this is now my go to TV Show tracking app. It does not have widget support but with iOS14 expanding on widgets big time, my hope is this app gets widget support soon.
