Bingers, a new TV-tracking app from the founder of TV Time, is now available to download
Former TV Timer users who used the platform’s export tool to save their data before the app’s shutdown can import their archive into Bingers to pick up where they left off, while users who didn’t export their data or are new to TV-tracking apps can start anew. Bingers leans heavily on community-driven features, such as user profiles, comments, episode ratings, GIFs, polls, and character voting, which Pinto tells TechCrunch were key to TV Time’s enduring appeal: “I believe TV Time was a diamond in the rough that kind of lost its way,” Pinto told TechCrunch. “I was stunned to see that the community stayed so active and so big even after the app was neglected for years and received no updates.
