TV Time stopped on 15 July 2026, after its owner Whip Media said it was no longer sustainable as a free app. More than 26 million people had installed it. The right replacement depends on which half of TV Time you actually used: the episode tracker, or the part that told you what to watch next.
If you tracked every episode and liked the comments under each one, look at Bingers, built by a TV Time co-founder, or an established tracker like Trakt. If you mostly opened TV Time to figure out what to watch tonight, What's My Next does that job: it learns your taste from quick swipes and only shows titles on the services you pay for. It does not track episodes.
Whip Media announced the shutdown in the app on 1 July 2026 and removed TV Time from the stores on 15 July. Its message said it was "no longer sustainable to continue operating the service as a free app" and that "there was not enough demand for a paid app". More than 28,000 users signed a petition to keep it running. It closed anyway.
Before it went, users could request a copy of their data through a GDPR export tool. If you did, keep that file: some trackers can read it.
This is what most people mean by TV Time: marking each episode as watched, seeing what airs next, reading reactions from other viewers. What's My Next is not built for that, and pretending otherwise would waste your time.
Bingers was started by TV Time co-founder Antonio Pinto to bring back the tracker and its community, and it suggests re-uploading your TV Time export. Trakt is the long-standing option if you want detailed history and syncing with other apps. Both are better episode trackers than we are.
The other half of TV Time was discovery: opening it on a quiet evening to find the next show. That is the job What's My Next is built around. You swipe through titles, right for your watchlist, left to skip, up for already seen, and it learns what you like from that. Every title is checked against the streaming services you pay for in your country first, so you only see what you can actually press play on.
It keeps a watchlist and a list of what you've seen, and you can bring your history over from Letterboxd, IMDb or Trakt. If you watch with someone, you can swipe on your own phones and get the titles you both said yes to.
What each option is good at, so you can pick by what you actually miss.
| Tracks episodes | Helps you choose | Watching together | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bingers | Yes, built for it | Through the community | Social feed |
| Trakt | Yes, very detailed | Recommendations and lists | Shared lists |
| What's My Next | No, titles only | Yes, swipes filtered by your services | Yes, swipe apart and match |
We make What's My Next. The facts about the shutdown come from Whip Media's in-app message as reported by TechCrunch, and the Bingers launch from TechCrunch as well. Checked on 26 October 2026.
Not under Whip Media. The app was removed from the stores on 15 July 2026 and the company said it would delete personal data. Bingers, from one of TV Time's co-founders, is the closest thing to a successor.
Not directly. What's My Next imports from Letterboxd, IMDb and Trakt. If your history already lives in one of those, you can bring it over from there.
No. It tracks titles you've seen and titles you want to watch, not episode progress. For that, use a dedicated tracker.
Yes, free on iPhone and Android, with no ads. There is an optional Pro subscription for extras.
