## Review summary

Users praise SeriesGuide as a strong, long-standing app for tracking TV across platforms with a rich database and helpful features like manual air-date offsets and notifications of new episodes. However, several recurring issues dampen experience: auto-update/sync reliability, occasional timing/data inaccuracies, and a subscription pricing model that some users dislike. Overall, it remains a widely valued tool for dedicated fans, but improvements in sync reliability, data accuracy, and pricing could broaden appeal.

### Pros

- Excellent cross-platform TV tracking with a central hub to see what’s new.
- Large, useful show database including networks/streams information.
- Long-standing app with years of use and continued value.
- Helpful features such as manual air-date offsets.
- Keeps you up to date with upcoming episodes and new releases.

### Cons

- Auto-update/sync issues: automatic updates can be disabled by default or fail, requiring manual updates.
- Scheduling data accuracy: air dates and times are sometimes wrong or inconsistent.
- Pricing model: subscription-based access instead of a one-time purchase.
