Keeping up with your favorite shows and movies across streaming services can be challenging. There are just so many out there. You probably have subscriptions to Netflix, Disney Plus, Max and all the other streaming services -- and you certainly don't want to miss out on the action. You also probably don't want to encounter spoilers online before watching for yourself. And while Google or Alexa can definitely help keep you up to date with upcoming seasons, that method isn't ideal for everyone.
So what's the best way to hunt for which titles will be available on a streaming platform? Write it on a sticky note? Add it to your phone's calendar? Use the streaming app's reminder feature? All these techniques are useful, but there are apps that can do it better.
Here are my suggestions for free apps that help you track streaming TV shows and films you plan to watch, ones you're already immersed in and titles you may be curious about but need solid recommendations. They can alert you when new episodes are set to drop or remind you where you left off in a show. I should mention that some apps below are integrated with Trakt, a web-based platform that syncs with your PC, phone or home media center, but its native app is still pretty clunky, so we left it off this list.
TV Time tracks TV shows and movies, pitches recommendations and connects you with fellow fans on social media. The app is available for Android and Apple users and you can sign up for an account using Google, Apple, Twitter, Facebook or email. To get started, choose what shows you've watched on which streaming service (or network). Interestingly, when scrolling through Hulu's selections, only its originals are listed but the app tells you that you can add more later.
With TV Time, you can choose from multiple lineups, including Trending Shows like Ted Lasso, Demon Slayer or Grey's Anatomy. There are also categories for genres, a "Most Added" section with titles such as You and even a "Most Added Animation Series" row.
Once you lock in your choices, TV Time collates a Watch List and suggests which episodes of your chosen shows you should watch next. There's a separate tab labeled "Upcoming" that outlines the day and time that new episodes drop. Thanks to TV Time, I now know the exact premiere dates for The Witcher season 3 on Netflix and the new season of Reservation Dogs on Hulu.
The app also prompts you to check off which movies you've watched, and the list spans decades, platforms and genres. Once you've completed that step, TV Time then asks what movies you want to watch. Here is where you search for specific titles or pick from TV Time's trending list to add them to a calendar.
Additionally, you can filter your TV Time display by progress -- including what you finished, shows and movies you stopped midway or what you're currently watching.
