Bingers Launches as a New Home for TV Time Fans Who Miss Social TV Tracking
Bingers, a new app for tracking TV shows and movies, has officially launched with a clear goal: to bring back the social viewing experience that many fans lost when TV Time shut down.
The app is being developed by Antonio Pinto, one of the original founders of TV Time. After TV Time’s owner decided to close the app and shift focus elsewhere, Pinto announced that he wanted to rebuild the features users loved most. Now, Bingers is stepping in as a fresh alternative for people who want more than a simple watchlist.
TV Time had built a large and loyal community before its closure. The app had been installed more than 26.4 million times, making its shutdown a major disappointment for fans who used it daily to track episodes, discover content, and talk with other viewers. More than 28,000 users even signed a petition asking for the app to be saved through donations, subscriptions, or crowdfunding support. Despite that effort, the shutdown moved forward as planned.
What made TV Time stand out was not just its tracking tools, but its community. Many users loved the ability to discuss episodes, share theories, post reactions, create memes, and connect with fans watching the same shows. That social layer turned the app into more than a digital checklist. It became a place where entertainment fans could gather after every episode.
Bingers is designed to revive that experience.
The new TV and movie tracker focuses on three main features: helping users track what they watch, making it easier to discover new shows and films, and giving fans a social space to discuss their favorite entertainment.
Users can create profiles, follow their viewing activity, mark shows and movies as watched, and build watchlists for content they plan to see later. The app also allows fans to comment on shows and movies, add images and GIFs, rate episodes, react with emojis, and vote for their favorite characters. These interactive features are meant to make the experience feel lively and community-driven, rather than just functional.
One of Bingers’ most important features is support for importing TV Time data. Before TV Time was removed from app stores on July 15, 2026, users were given access to a data export tool. Bingers is offering a way for former TV Time users to bring those archives into the new app, helping them preserve years of watch history, ratings, and saved content.
The app has also been built with cost efficiency in mind. One of the challenges that affected TV Time was the expense of keeping a large-scale platform running. To avoid similar problems, Bingers loads user libraries directly on their phones. This allows certain heavy tasks, such as managing a viewing calendar and watchlist, to be handled on the user’s device instead of relying entirely on company servers.
For monetization, Bingers will initially allow users to contribute directly to help cover server costs. This approach reflects what many TV Time fans had requested before that app shut down. In the future, Pinto has suggested that Bingers may explore a broader business model focused on bringing people together in real life, though details have not yet been shared.
Bingers is now available on both iOS and Android, giving former TV Time users and new entertainment fans a fresh way to track shows, discover movies, and join conversations around what they love to watch.
For viewers who miss the feeling of reacting to an episode with a community, sharing theories after a finale, or keeping a detailed history of everything they have watched, Bingers could become one of the most promising TV show and movie tracking apps available today.
