Really enjoy this app, does a lot of things I like. For some reason I couldn't find anywhere to link the schedule to my calendar? Running 2.2 (FroydVillain 1.5) on Hero. A couple of suggestions:

1) Option to turn on an additional button next to the "Watched" button in the schedule, named "Downloaded". So you can track which episodes you have downloaded, and then which of those you have watched (not for illegal use, most broadcasters let you download episodes from their websites legally, eg BBC). This button probably isn't needed by everyone, but having the ability to turn it on would be nice :)

2) A friends button. Allowing you to link to other people using the app to share Favs, and see who has watched what episodes (if they plan to share this information).

3) Comments. Would be great to be able to add comments to episodes, so your friends can see what you have said about an episode (add a tickbox for spoilers!). So when you click the "Watched" button, it gives you an option to add a comment.

4) Facebook (or Twitter) link. To post a status on Facebook/Twitter including your comment, for example: "Zebwen just watched House Season 6 Episode 1 and thought: Wow! About time!" (With a little pic of the House show image next to it, and a link to the show on TV.com or somesuch).

As it stands, this app is a great tool, these are just some suggestions that I would love to see for my own use. Keep up the great work!

Glad to see things are under control - was worried there for a while. It's one of my favourite apps.

Is the application going to be modified to have a local cache of my account or to at least cache more of the information? It can be frustrating at times when my connection is slow to navigate the program waiting for something I viewed previously to download again when it hasn't changed, and at times like this when the server is unavailable, we can at least continue to use it.

Oh, and losing the account login information whenever this XML error occurs is a right p.i.t.a. :(
[Android Apps and Games] naut_:
Hi,

I'd love to give that app a spin, so could you please enable it for Switzerland?

Thanks and cheers!

[Android Apps and Games] DirkStorck:
I get an error message that the XML could not be parsed :(

I have had the XML error for a while..Tried powering it down then wifi and 3g, same response..

Love the app, hate the error has started..
[Android Apps and Games] mikeandjaimie:
Hey, LOVE the app.. but I started getting the XML error like everyone else the other day.. today when I tried to login, at first it kept telling me my login/pass was no good.. but after a few tries it clicked in.. However, now I am getting an error saying it has to be updated to run, and offers a link to the market, however, it says it isnt on the market anymore :( I've tried searching for it by name and through the link to the market.. but still nothing. It was always there before
[Android Apps and Games] darni:
can't find the app from market here in Finland, please enable..

[Android Apps and Games] m_kranzler11:
We are still having problems with our server. There is an updated version in the market which disables the widget, which we believe is the problem currently. We hope to be able to fix the issues as soon as possible but please be patient while we work on it. It may take a little while for the app to show up in the market.
[Android Apps and Games] d3l1:
a cache would be awesome in such situations, in case you are abroad or in case the servers are down, you can still use the app and as soon as the connection is back it will sync again. I see no need for an update every time the app is started (mostly if you start the app more then once a day).
[Android Apps and Games] Taomyn:
I concur - imho this is why the idea of cloud computing is just that, "up in the clouds" until the infrastructures and services are there 100% of the time with speedy access. I'm not belittling the hard work you guys are putting into the service and do appreciate what you have done, I just think it's too soon to make it something anyone can depend on (unless you're someone like Google).
[Android Apps and Games] Unrenowned:
First: loving the application! Nothing else is touching it.

Secondly, a little constructive criticism:

What if the App was revamped to provide a local cache that pulled updates from the server? And then have it perform a backup of the cache to the server.
[Android Apps and Games] MLonon:
Caching is good.

+1 on the caching. I am amazed at how quickly I have come to rely on this app for all of my tv watching activities.

p.s. YOUR APP IS FOLKING AWESOME!!!!!!
[Android Apps and Games] deewree:
Please add Turkey to :confused:

I can not use the tv show favs
[Android Apps and Games] m_kranzler11:
The developer console does give me Turkey as an option. If it becomes available, I will gladly enable it.
[Android Apps and Games] Cthugha:
Just updated to latest version (with re-enabled widget etc) and it seems to be working on my phone (HTC Desire).

However, on my tablet I haven't been able to login since I installed the app a few days ago (now also updated to latest version). I get "Error! Error occurred while logging in"

Tablet is Archos 70 running Android 2.2.1...
[Android Apps and Games] m_kranzler11:
Send your log through the app to support on your working phone and I will look into it.
[Android Apps and Games] robnez:
great app!

love the app, and ive only used it for a few mins :D
[Android Apps and Games] deaffob:
I used to use your app for a week and stopped using it after I started to get XML error. It happened when I tried to see the downloaded schedule without data turned on. I figured it'd show me what's already downloaded but it simply gave me error with login screen.

I then turned on my data connection and tried to log in but after that it kept giving me XML error.
[Android Apps and Games] AndyCr15:
Am I the only one that schedule still doesn't work? I've reselected a few shows to show up, but when I go to schedule it still shows nothing?
[Android Apps and Games] avgjoemomma:
Had the schedule problem, had to clear the app data and re-login and it works fine now :)
[Android Apps and Games] andrewf403:
Hi!

I cannot find this app in Market. I live in Ukraine. Can you add my country, or post apk?
[Android Apps and Games] AndyCr15:
Thanks for the clear data tip. Works again now.

Please add a date format option, so I can have UK date format rather than US...
[Android Apps and Games] Taomyn:
Yes please - a pet peeve of mine are devs that don't use the OS settings to format things like date and time formats. Unfortunately this app is not alone.
[Android Apps and Games] Josefsson:
Very nice app, superslick interface!

A suggestion if I may about the "top favs"

If I could enter info about my self such as country, gender and age group (similar to what appbrain collects) it would be cool to sort the toplist according to country or what people like me watch.

This would be totally voluntary to fill in of course but I think many would do it in order to get recommendations of series tailored to them

Thanks again and good luck with future updates
[Android Apps and Games] Cthugha:
Just sent the log from my phone, hope you can help.

Tried clearing the app data on my tablet but still got the same login error.
[Android Apps and Games] Unrenowned:
Applied recent update; working like a charm!
[Android Apps and Games] m_kranzler11:
Could you resend your log? I'm not finding it in my email. Not sure if I got it or not...
[Android Apps and Games] deewree:
ok installed, fine
[Android Apps and Games] MAMBO04:
Update works perfectly on my SGS, such an awesome app!
[Android Apps and Games] AndyCr15:
What happened? I've not used it for a week or so, I run it today and it's a mess....

I have all dates listed going backwards for the specified period, instead of just 'recently aired' which was the only feature I used. I had a checklist of which shows I needed to watch.

Worse still, I have it selected to not show watched apps, but they're all there. It looks a mess. :(
[Android Apps and Games] Taomyn:
I'm seeing the same thing unfortunately and have emailed the dev - just waiting for a response.
[Android Apps and Games] tomj777:
You can still find your logged shows under Schedule.

Hope it's all fixed soon.
[Android Apps and Games] AndyCr15:
Just in case he's not reading this thread, let him know through his site :)

[Android Apps and Games] m_kranzler11:
Sorry guys I haven't looked at this thread in a while. I am not seeing what you guys are seeing, however I am curious to see what it is happening. Any way you could provide me with a screen shot so I can see what it looks like for you?
[Android Apps and Games] AndyCr15:
Okay, here's what I see -

It's set to not show Watched shows (as you can see, the option in the menu at the bottom is to show them) but as you can see, they are still shown.

Instead of me having a list of shows I need to watch under 'Recent;y Aired' I've got a bunch of dates I have to sort through, looking for things I've not watched :(
[Android Apps and Games] Taomyn:
Yes, same here - I emailed this shot 2nd Jan, but they've been slowly disappearing over the days, I suppose because I only set the "past" to 14 days:
[Android Apps and Games] m_kranzler11:
Yikes! That definitely shouldn't be behaving like that. Could you tell me what country/locale your phone is using? I'm wondering if it isn't a date conversion issue.
[Android Apps and Games] AndyCr15:
I'm in the UK.
[Android Apps and Games] Taomyn:
I'm using UK as well

Any word on a fix here?
[Android Apps and Games] m_kranzler11:
Hi, I've been super busy lately so I haven't had much time to donate to the app, however I am going to start working on it heavily beginning tonight. Is there any way you can send me your log through the app (and tell me it is you sending it) so I can look into the issue further?
[Android Apps and Games] m_kranzler11:
Ok, I have a fix for the issue and it will be in the next update (hopefully soon).
[Android Apps and Games] AndyCr15:
I look forward to the update. Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] DirkStorck:
Is it somehow possible to show tv shows that are running in germany?
[Android Apps and Games] m_kranzler11:
All of the data comes from www.tvrage.com and www.thetvdb.com. If you add the show to both sites, it should show up within TV Show Favs in a couple days. However, since both sites are user/community updated, people need to fill in the information for the show.
[Android Apps and Games] m_kranzler11:
Update is live with the fix.
[Android Apps and Games] hokes:
just downloaded and configured. looks pretty awesome so far.

the only suggestions i could think of for improvement:

-browse by category/genre. this would make the app invaluable to people looking for new shows to watch.

-integration with SideReel. i already have a large library of tracked shows there and would like to be able to keep my tracking and watched/unwatched status synched without having to update both the app and SideReel's site.

-----Now i'm not sure if SideReel would permit integration as i can't seem to find instances of them working with any third parties, so this isn't make or break for me.

-a new layout/theme. again, not make or break, but i think the layout could use a bit of minimal design tweaking. most of it is phenomenal, i especially like the percentage meter on each given show. one good example would be removing the sort of cartoon-esque looking check-boxes next to episodes and replacing them with a button. this could perform two tasks in one by: a) providing a larger click-able area to reduce miss-tapping and b) un-clutter the screen and bring the app more in line with the overall android look/feel.

overall, i'd give this app 5stars for functionality, but i would like to see some adjustments to the layout in the future.
[Android Apps and Games] AndyCr15:
I was wondering if there could be any kind of recommendation engine. People that like these 3 shows, also like X.

That would be kinda awesome.

Maybe a 'Added this week' to show not only what the top Favs are all time, but to show what is popular this week/month?
[Android Apps and Games] m_kranzler11:
Thanks for the suggestions guys. We already to have plans for "advanced" searching as well as other discover features, such as suggestions/recommendations. It's just hard to find time to do all these things! I do like the idea of more granular Top Favs categories too. Can you guys do me a favor and send feature suggestions through the app with your suggestions? This makes it much easier for me to track them. Thanks again!
[Android Apps and Games] Krazen:
Checking it out now. So far it's awesome. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] danerden:
wow...........great application. Thanx for share. Now, i am downloading this application because through this application i will check all TV shows status. Great news fore me. Keep it up guys.......
[Android Apps and Games] azertyman:

What country are you located in?
[Android Apps and Games] SimonVT:
Been using it for a long time, and still loving it. Any word on when we can expect a website to go along with it? :)
[Android Apps and Games] azertyman:
Belgium, could this be the problem?
[Android Apps and Games] hoey2011:
it would be helpful if you placed a QR code for the market link in the OP so I can just scan from my desk without extra clicky presses on my phone :)
[Android Apps and Games] m_kranzler11:
Yes, Belgium wasn't enabled. Now it is so it should show up very soon in the market for you.

Can't be found in Finland either. Would love to test it out.

Quick and easy painless suggestion:

Long-press on an episode --> Can you add an option to Mark as Watched?

(Currently the only option is to "Go To Episode".)

For some reason my device never detects using the checkmark (it works 10% of the time), so to mark episodes as watched I have to wait for each page to load. Even with swiping left and right, it takes forever. A long-press to Mark as Watched would be great and (hopefully) very easy to implement! :)
[Android Apps and Games] gab1to:
This app it's perfect for me.

The only thing that I notice is that is not extremely user friendly, apart from that, it's excellent.
[Android Apps and Games] azertyman:
Thanks! Testing the app now.
[Android Apps and Games] wollyka:
great app. I love it.

However, is there a way to add a custom schedule for a show? meaning i don't live in the US and the show listings are only for the original air time. thx
[Android Apps and Games] m_kranzler11:
Finland has been enabled.
[Android Apps and Games] m_kranzler11:
With our current data providers (www.tvrage.com and www.thetvdb.com) it is not. Hopefully in the future we will be able to offer service provider listings if it becomes technically and financially feasible.
[Android Apps and Games] palmers:
just discovered this amazing app. firstly i'd like to tip my hat to the developer. awesome work!

secondly i have a quick question. in the upcoming shows widget is there a way to display more that 4 shows?
[Android Apps and Games] intellq:
Your post is from september, and this is still happening. It's very annoying.

Let's take for example a show that will be aired in USA 10:00 pm 20/01/2011 (today).

What TV show Favs is actually doing is just adding my 3 hours differences and forgetting to change the day.

Originally aired: 10:00 pm - 20/01/11 - USA

TV Show Favs announces it on 01:00 am - 20/01/11 (one day early!)

And the correct time/date is 01:00 am 21/01/11. If you add some hours and it's midnight or more, you have to change the day as well.

A simple check after tv show favs corrects the timezone would do the trick, am I right?
[Android Apps and Games] m_kranzler11:
We are currently working on the time zone issues. We probably should have focused more on them earlier, but it just didn't work out that way. We do hope to have it remedied very soon though.
[Android Apps and Games] m_kranzler11:
Currently there is no way to show more than 4 shows. The reason for this is that android currently doesn't support scrollable widgets within it's default launcher. We do hope to develop additional widgets/configurations with and without scrolling in the future.
[Android Apps and Games] stover0208:
find this app via Lifehacker website, it seemed great! but I can't find it on the market so

please add Taiwan

thanks in advance!
[Android Apps and Games] DirkStorck:
That app is really great and if it supports more countries it will be the best of its kind.

One suggestion. Could you make those two icons (for refresh and main menu) on the widget a bit bigger? They are hard to hit with my thick thumb ;)
[Android Apps and Games] m_kranzler11:
Taiwan has been enabled.
[Android Apps and Games] thewahlrus:
This still being developed? I use it, and think it works great. I always forget and miss my shows. The only things I would change are purely cosmetic.

Scrollable widget support for alternative launchers would be awesome.

The ability to change widget appearance (transparency).

Ability to change notification text color.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] ericsignals:
Newest update makes it a 14 day free trial...then $3 to buy.. No ad version or anything for early adopters/beta testers?? Thanks but no thanks..
[Android Apps and Games] brk3:
Aw wow, really? It's one of my favorite/most used apps so will defiantly buy, $3 is a bit steep for something that was free though :(
[Android Apps and Games] troyolson92:
Doesn't work just initializes forever.

Samsung epic with bonsi rom, ext4.
[Android Apps and Games] tomj777:
Would certainly be worth it if it has uk schedules or if you schedules are on the roadmap. If not then I'm not certain
[Android Apps and Games] cd492:
Any chance making the widget transparent in the near future?
[Android Apps and Games] mikeandjaimie:
yeah, long time user of the beta, loved the layout, and the cost(free) which made it the hands down leader in it's catagory imo.. however.. this new update totally killed both those things :(

Theme's is a good idea, but it's just color change on the buttons, would much prefer a theme back to the old layout/looks. As to scrollable widget, I think this is an AMAZING idea. I'm pretty sure the majority of alternative launchers all support this, and it could be a selectable option perhaps to keep support for both?

As to the price, while I do think you def can charge for a full version, I think jumping from a free beta, to 14day trial and $3.00 free might be a little steep and turn people off. Someone else suggested an ad supported version, possibly with the basic features + standard widget or something along those lines?
[Android Apps and Games] d3l1:
+1 converting the app directly to a paid app with a 14 day trial period will scare a lot of people away. I'd recommend a lite version too, maybe with ads and limited features, but still an alternative and not only an app that now suddenly costs $3.00
[Android Apps and Games] thomi:
I really liked the app.

But I liked the old layout better and $3 is too much. I'd easily pay $0.99 'cause even tho I don't like the new layout, it's still very useful, just not $3 useful.

And I quote from https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tvshowfavs.key:

There's gotta be something wrong, either the price is wrong and that's not actually a special price or the devs have gone mental.
[Android Apps and Games] brk3:
I would hit thanks for this post but xda app doesn't seem to have an option for that :/

Anyhow would also like to comment that the new layout is pretty ridiculous. They have preferences and search as huge buttons on the main screen, aren't these what the android hard keys are for? Like someone else above it also seems to sit initalising for ever at the main screen till I hit the back button.

Sorry devs, this was one of my all time favorite apps but if this is the direction you're going with it then you've lost my purchase :(
[Android Apps and Games] DirkStorck:
Ok folks....it's agreat usefull app....you pay over 400 Eur for your Desire but you don't wanna pay some for an app....ok $3 is a bit high $2 would be enough and I like the new layout.
[Android Apps and Games] HooliganAMA:
$3 is a bit steep, but I bought it anyway. I love the app.
[Android Apps and Games] thomi:
The problem is not that I don't want to pay. Actually, not even the price.

Trillian had a beta version that you could download for free, then they released a paid version. Which I bought, and it was $5.

Simply updating it to a 14 days $3 trial without even a warning just leaves a sense of betrayal.

Bottom line is if they'd done the move correctly they wouldn't have a bunch of early supporters pissed at them giving 1 star ratings at the market.

Maybe a big price drop, even if temporary, would smooth things out.

Well, I guess this serves as a lesson to all devs.
[Android Apps and Games] HooliganAMA:
Adding a way to browse shows by genre or chanel would be nice.
[Android Apps and Games] m_kranzler11:
Hi guys, we have changed the pay model for the app. The app is now free with ads and a 14 day premium feature trial. The premium features are themes, language translation, notifications and facebook integration. If the premium key app is purchased, the ads get disabled and the premium features get unlocked. We are sorry we weren't up front about our plans for charging for the app. We didn't realize people would assume the app will always be free once it left beta. It was our fault and to hopefully remedy the situation we have changed the model as previously described. As always, we appreciate everyone who uses TV Show Favs.
[Android Apps and Games] thewahlrus:
well, according to appbrain I've spent $48.25. Half of these I don't use. TVshowfavs I do, so I bought it. People don't want to pay for sh** on the internet.

Now just get that widget scrolling/transparent and I'll be happy.
[Android Apps and Games] thomi:
Glad to read this.

I'll be purchasing the premium key soon.

Best luck!
[Android Apps and Games] DirkStorck:
Damn...Have been to fast :) Yesterday I have bought the licenze key but actually I don't need the pro features. :D
[Android Apps and Games] brk3:
Any chance you could comment on the decision to add the redundant (imo) buttons to the home screen?
[Android Apps and Games] m_kranzler11:
I don't think some people know there is a menu (from emails I receive) so they don't know you can search for shows. Also, I needed a 6th button so when it is in landscape, it doesn't look funky. Therefore I added the preferences button :D
[Android Apps and Games] brk3:
Those people shouldn't be using android.. :P
[Android Apps and Games] tomj777:
Well done to the Devs for rapid license re-think and action. A few "do not do" and "salvage like this " examples in this.

Def +1 for scrolling\transparent widget !!!
[Android Apps and Games] n3ptun3:
