TV Forecast 4+

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 have tried so many tv show tracker apps. This one is so beautiful and well put together. It is simple, but very functional.

The only thing I would want added that I can see right now is a rating system that would possibly sync with Trakt.

I really want to like this app. It’s one of the best looking TV trackers but is absolutely plagued with sync issues. It OFTEN loses track of what episodes you’ve marked as watch, entire shows disappear even if you have I watched episodes, sometimes show lose all watched progress... it’s almost unusable with these issues. Too bad because the app is great looking.
