Episode Guide (Android Preview Release)

Now from what I can see when looking through your app is that your design is pretty neat, however I would have used a different set of colours as background plus I would not use a star to follow a series. The way you display cast is something I like though.

Though I am missing quite some features (Of course it may be your plan to add them at a later stage) to make it useful for me as I barely watch an episode (due my time) when it is being aired on television. I do miss an option of episodes I yet have to watch or to mark them as watched.

Though it may be worth checking out these apps for some more features;

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for the feedback, I have noted all your suggestions and will implement shortly, trying to get rid of all bugs before public release currently.

I plan on adding lots more features in the future including tracking and also access to the premium user api features for TvMaze users so followed shows etc will come from the api if you are logged into tvmaze in the client etc.

Thanks for the app suggestions I have seen most of these, and aim to include most if not all of these app features in the coming months.

One thing I could do with clarifying is proper credit to TvMaze, atm this is included in the about screen, top right (three dots) is this sufficient or do I need to create something more prominent within the app?

Over the last few months I have been working on an Android client app called Episode Guide which uses the TvMaze API for data.
I have just released the app into open beta and I would appreciate any feedback from TvMaze users and the TvMaze admins. All feedback will be helpful, bugs, feature requests, issues etc.
I would also like to say a big thank you to David and Jan for providing a great resource which enabled me to complete the app.
If you would like to try the app and participate please follow the link below on either your android device, or a computer logged into your google account to sign up for the beta test and download the apk.

I have been working hard recently to improve Episode Guide and would appreciate any feedback on the new features and if they are useful to TvMaze Users.

Is there a way to login using my TvMaze account so I don't have to re-enter everything and so it could sync the "watched" status with the website?

To do anything like that you'd need to have a premium account and the developer to have added a feature to be able to sync it.

As Gazza911 stated yes it is possible, if there is enough interest I can add the feature. But you would need a premium account on TvMaze as that data is stored in the User API and requires an api key from the user to access.
