How do you know about the new series favorite series using iPhone?

In recent years, happy quality of foreign TV series. Here and great comedy like "The Big Bang Theory," and great dramas ( "House"), an impressive fantasy ( "Fringe"), remarkable documentaries... Even if you watch the television series 2-3, sharply raises the question: "How not to miss the new series? ".

We have repeatedly talked about helpful software for Mac OS X, which help to follow the release of the new series (see. «Automatic - download your favorite TV shows via RSS», TVShows - for fans of foreign TV series). Now let's look at the iPhone application.

Showtime

Let's start with Showtime. This is a free web application that is specifically adapted for the iPhone. The owners of this wonderful phone is necessary to visit the site showtime-app.com and add it to the home screen (Add to Home Screen). Usually a web application has several advantages. Their development could go faster native program (no need to pass the approval procedure in the App Store), sometimes they have opportunities that are prohibited in eppstore. In the case of Showtime's simple: you specify the series that you like, and application reports that aired a new series.

Cons Showtime due to its "network" nature. The application runs slowly, selection of serials made uncomfortable normal notification system no. While visually attractive.

Episodes

Developer Showtime Nial Giacomelli (Nial Giacomelli) recently issued a native application that is devoid of the above disadvantages. The program is called Episodes and it only costs 99 cents.

Episodes interface is beautiful and easy to use. After installing the app you will be prompted to add TV shows you watch.

Subscribe to your favorite show, you can, if you move the slider to the right:

On the page you will find a description of the show, audience ratings. Clicking on the "List" in the upper right hand corner, you go to the list of all the series that has ever aired:

Now that you have specified all of your favorite TV shows on the main application screen will display a list of the series, which will be released just about came out recently, and those episodes that you have not had studies. It looks like this:

Episodes can not only follow the release of the new series. The application includes an analog Genius. As soon as you enter your favorite show, the app will generate for you a list of recommended TV series, it is worth paying attention to. Frankly, in my case, the recommendations were absolutely useless :-)

TV Forecast

On this application, we told over a year ago, but it still remains the best of its kind (in spite of the higher cost - $ 1.99).

TV Forecast is not just notifies, when the new series will be released. The program also takes into account time zones may tell friends about the issuance of the series (see series better together!), Is able to count down the time before the broadcast on the air (actually, when the whole world is going crazy waiting for the last of a series of cult TV series).

Episode Tracker

Soaps can be viewed in different ways. Most viewers prefer to follow the new series as they appear in the air. But many are waiting for the end of the season, and then look at several episodes at a time.

In addition, there are a large number of series that have been removed long ago and no longer removed (hello, "Jeeves and Wooster," "Friends" and "Poirot"!). Still fun to watch them now.

In this case, it may be useful Episode Tracker application (the program has two versions - paid and Free). You specify the name Episode Tracker series that look, and the program loads the list of series. Then, as they view the mark seen. The program can hide otsmotrennyh series.
