A co-founder of the shuttered TV Time app has launched Bingers, a new TV and movie tracker designed to recapture the social features that made the original app popular.
Bingers arrives as a direct response to TV Time's closure, which left millions of users without their preferred viewing tracker. The new app preserves the social functionality that distinguished TV Time from competitors, allowing users to share and discuss their watching habits.
A key feature is the ability to import existing viewing history, helping users transition from other platforms without starting from scratch. This migration tool addresses a major pain point when apps shut down—the loss of accumulated data and progress.
The app targets both casual viewers and dedicated TV enthusiasts who want to track shows, movies, and viewing patterns within a community setting. By leveraging the goodwill and user base TV Time built before its shutdown, Bingers positions itself as the natural successor in a space where dedicated TV-tracking apps have proven valuable to audiences who take their viewing seriously.
