TV Time, the popular show and movie tracking app, will shut down on July 15 and all users’ personal data will be deleted after that date.
In an update to the support page announcing the news, the company admitted that it was “no longer viable to continue operating the service as a free app” and said there was “not enough demand for a paid app.”
On the shutdown date, the TV Time app will be removed from the App Store and Google Play, and the tvtime.com website will be permanently offline.
Users who want to keep their viewing history and tracked data can request an export through the app’s GDPR self-service tool before the July 15 deadline. The company says all users’ personal data will be deleted after that date, but it may retain aggregated, non-personal data for business or legal purposes.
TV Time has been around for over a decade, and in that time it has built a dedicated community around episode tracking, watchlists, and user ratings. Following the shutdown announcement, users on the Resetera forums suggested alternatives like Trakt, Serializd and Simkl – although the latter’s servers were reportedly struggling to cope with a sudden wave of new registrations.
