SeriesGuide is a popular app praised for its comprehensive show tracking, syncing features, and detailed episode management. However, users commonly report syncing problems leading to data loss, update failures causing missed episodes, and database inaccuracies after switching data sources. Many express frustration with price increases and changes to payment models. While effective overall, some find the app's interface navigation cumbersome. Despite these issues, loyal users appreciate its wide functionality and syncing across devices, making it a valuable tool for TV and movie tracking.
Pros

- Cloud syncing across multiple devices is beneficial for users with many shows.
- Includes special episodes and crossover episode markings, enhancing tracking accuracy.

Cons
- Frequent syncing and data loss issues, especially with Trakt integration causing local data overwrite.
- App sometimes fails to update shows and episodes, requiring manual refresh or causing missed episodes.
- Database inaccuracies and missing popular/active shows due to move from TVDB to TMDB, causing incomplete listings.
- Recent price hikes and subscription changes, including removal of old purchase benefits, frustrate users.
- Interface navigation is awkward, such as difficulty marking episodes watched or viewing episode titles efficiently.

| 2023-02-01 |  | | Pretty good, but occasional issues cause data loss. A couple months ago, Trakt went down for a few days. NBD, except SeriesGuide lost all my local unsynced data when Trakt came back online. New shows I'd added or started watching during the period Trakt was offline were overwritten by the cloud state, even though the Trakt data was like 3-4 days old at that point. That sort of thing aside, I wish SeriesGuide had better support for rewatching of shows; only the most basic rewatch support exists. |
| 2021-10-14 |  | | Alright the tracker has gotten really bad. Shows I've finished watching years ago randomly pop up as unwatched. "Hide watched" is no longer useful which makes tracking shows a pain. Used to be a good app, but this bug ruins it for me, and it has been happening for a while now. |
| 2021-10-11 |  | | Everything disappeared for me with the previous update, and this latest update everything is still empty. I went to sign in but it's no longer letting me input my email address/username along with my password. A pop up said Only For Supporters, and redirected to a pricing tier lists.... 2011 paid $2.99 for Ads Free. 2014/2015 I paid $4.99 for the Lifetime Pass. I will not pay for my third one time payment again which is $24.99 again. Nor will I pay monthly. Developer is forcing me to pay again. |
| 2021-07-23 |  | | This was a great app when I first started using it, but all of a sudden there are several things that seem to be wrong with the app. I'm seeing episodes of shows that don't actually exist, incorrect network info for shows, and several times I was showing multiple copies of one single episode showing on different days. There's also a red notice on several shows/episodes that I'm not sure what it means, or how to correct it. Also, the yearly subscription jumping by $3.99 is rather ridiculous. |
| 2021-05-24 |  | | Hi there. I noticed after the last app update you now get the database from TMDB rather than TVDB. I follow 80 different TV shows in the app. And though I do connect to my trakt.tv account (which also uses the TMDB database) I wanted to let you know that not all the shows are up to date. TVDB is still more accurate. If you would like me to send you a list of the shows I follow missing episodes I will. If all the shows were updated I could give 5 stars. I also emailed you |
| 2021-05-23 |  | | Uninstalled and unsubscribed. Too many technical problems. Used to work perfectly. Kept all my shows organized and up to date. Now it drops or deleted shows and the move to tmdb makes it worse as the dev gives you a long list of options to try in order to try to make it work when it should just work. Raising the price seemed unjustified given all the new issues. |
| 2021-04-01 |  | | Was a great app. But won't sync now. My subscription is up but dev. is hiking price: $2/yr to 4.99: no added benefits, without fixing syncing problems, lack of updates. One time purchase has jumped $12 to $25! Increbible greed when regular updates don't occur (last was 4 months ago), for an app that agregates info from websites, sync issues, and the main benefit of paying is cloud storgae. Read other reviews, lots of issues; dev doesn't maintain app anymore, doesn't respond except to 4-5 ⭐ revs |
| 2021-03-17 |  | | I have been using this App for a long time, but lately it doesn't update all the shows. I dont have cable anymore, so I rely on this App to let me know when a show is on, so I can watch it on my firestick. Lately I have had to Google the t.v. listing to see what I missed. Please fix this. I have followed all your suggestions in the help section, and it hasn't worked. |
| 2020-07-05 |  | | My current favorite app to use with Trakt! Great interface and has features many other Android apps are missing. It would be perfect if it had support for Trakt's "reset watched progress" feature. I would love to have the shows I am rewatching show up on the main Shows tab. I haven't found a solid Android app that can do this. I'd also love to see Hidden shows sync with Trakt, such that hiding a show on SeriesGuide adds it to my hidden items on Trakt. Keep up the excellent work with this app! |
| 2020-06-26 |  | | App works great for managing a lists of movies and shows, as well as movies and shows that have been previously watched. You are able to get shows you want to watch added to a "watchlist" in app. If you add the show, the from the show select "manage list". This is the functionality that I wasn't able to find previously that lead me to leave a lower review. Since I see I am now able to have a separate list I've edited my rating. |
