Re: Criticism, comments, suggestions, requests?

Agreed to add a show is distracting but you actually dont have to wait for the animation to end, it adds the show either way.

And yes N-E offers a lot more functionality especially for Bittorrent users but if both apps would be combined with the looks of the one with the functionality of the other, we maybe had the perfect TV app?

But seems you are already on the right track with the bigger pictures.

Re: Criticism, comments, suggestions, requests?

I love the app, the only thing I want it to do is be able to alert me maybe once a day(or only days I have programs on). Please let me know if I've just overlooked this feature.

128

Re: Criticism, comments, suggestions, requests?

You haven't.

Some sort of notification/alert/calendar integration functionality is in the todo. Can't promise when it'll be integrated though!

Cheers!

Re: Criticism, comments, suggestions, requests?

Any thoughts about adding a social sharing option when you mark an episode watched. Would love to update to Twitter when I am watching a show.  Thanks for your hard work!

Re: Criticism, comments, suggestions, requests?

We had that in an earlier version. Wasn't too popular (noone used it) so I removed it ...

131

Re: Criticism, comments, suggestions, requests?

Would love access to the forum from the app.

Any chance of this?

Would work fine for iPhone as well.

and how about a mobile version of the site - although, since we have the app, less important.

Re: Criticism, comments, suggestions, requests?

This is not a major thing, but a feature I would find helpful. It would be nice to be able to switch easily between two different NE accounts. My wife and I have a combined account for shows we watch together, and separate accounts for shows that only one of us watches (or shows we both watch but not always together). Our solution to this is to have our individual accounts on our phones and our combined account on our tablet, but this can be inconvenient sometimes. I know it's not the biggest ordeal to log out and back in with a different account, but a toggle between two accounts would just make it easier.

I thought about finding another app to track our personal lists, but when I went looking I couldn't find any that were as well-designed as the Next Episode app. Most of the interfaces were clunky and the apps were bloated. I really appreciate the thought you've put into making your app easy to navigate and very useful, and your replies in this thread suggest that you plan to keep it that way. Thanks!

135

Re: Criticism, comments, suggestions, requests?

Thank you!

While I see the benefit in a feature that'll allow for quicker switching between accounts - I doubt it'll ever happen as it'll only be useful to a handful of people. I can't justify the development time for that (and support of that feature later on).

I hope you understand.

136

Re: Criticism, comments, suggestions, requests?

Fair enough, I guess it is kind of a niche feature. Doesn't hurt to ask! I look forward to what comes along next.

what happen to the watch list a to z where you can look up shows from a to z all so check out your ow list and delete from it

There is now a Watchlist link in the main site menu where you have an overview of all your shows and can easily filter and sort them out.

Re: Criticism, comments, suggestions, requests?

I love the app, but there is one little snag that irritates me. When I have marked a show "watched" and want to go back to "Episodes", I naturally press the back button on my phone (don't see one in the app itself), but then I go out of the app totally. I have tried to go to "My Shows" and then back, but I only see the show I have marked as watched. I want a good back button or a way for the generic back button to go back to the "Episodes"-list. Is this possible? Thank you very much. Sofie

Re: Criticism, comments, suggestions, requests?

Yea, it's a bug that sometimes happens on Android.

As a workaround, try tapping on the Tab's name instead (for example Episodes) - it should bring you back to the top level of the Episodes tab.

Let me know!

141

Re: Criticism, comments, suggestions, requests?

Apologies if this has been requested or discussed before.  In the iOS app, it would be handy to have a switch in the episode list within a specific show or even within a specific season for "WATCHED/NOT WATCHED". 

I find myself frequently (especially when cleaning off the DVR) going down the managed list to an episode to see if it is watched, and then backing back out to "Done" and then all the way back down to the unwatched episode list to verify it is there. A deeper switch would sure make this easier.

Thanks!

142

Re: Criticism, comments, suggestions, requests?

Thanks for the suggestion!

143

Re: Criticism, comments, suggestions, requests?

A little suggestion for the (Android)app.
How about adding a possibility to restrict/delay notifications in certain time frames? Or at least make them silent? Or picking custom notification sound?
Would be rather nice for sleep cycles. smile
I really like the notifications, so I rather keep them on, but I can't mute the phone completely at night.
So why not have a cake and eat it too? wink

Re: Criticism, comments, suggestions, requests?

How about something like this? smile

Re: Criticism, comments, suggestions, requests?

I've been using the Next-Episode app for iOS for quite a while now... I love to see the evolution of the app... one suggestion - any thought to adding a listing of the cast members for each show and possibly even for each episode?

That's about the only thing missing. It would be great to be able to identify the actors who appear in shows that are recognizable, but not readily identifiable.

Please consider this addition.

If you have Android 5+, you can set it up in Settings->Sound->Interruptions... Just choose your sleep time limits and select what is priority (=will be heard) and what is not (=will let you sleep). You can then also turn the "interruptions only" mode on manually.

Re: Criticism, comments, suggestions, requests?

By the way, found a little... bug, or is it a featurette? O:-)

Some of my shows aired in the night, for example 3AM of my time. Now it's evening, same day.
Those episodes show up in "recent" tab, as they should, but also in "next" tab, where they should not be anymore. I guess "recents" show up right when they air, but "next" tab is governed by date only, not considering the time?

As most of my shows are from US and land in 1AM-5AM slot in my timezone, the "next" tab is kinda useless to me, having to filter out the first X shows every day :-)

148

Re: Criticism, comments, suggestions, requests?

Yea, the Next tab is a daily overview of what's coming up, it's not updated according to the current hour.

This is not very intuitive indeed and may change in the future (or a better - "TV Schedule" screen will appear).

Cheers!

Re: Criticism, comments, suggestions, requests?

I love the app and wanted to ask if you could making a similar one for movies seeing that the website already supports movies (which means you already have a database for it) it wouldn't be that hard (i don't code apps just an assumption)

150

Re: Criticism, comments, suggestions, requests?

The iOS app already supports movies.

This will be coming to the Android app as well.
