Ability to set default sort for "Follows" on iPhone

rickd24 wrote 4 years ago: 1

I can’t set the default sort for "Follows" on my iPhone the way I can on the desktop website. Default is currently "Followed least recently" which is not very helpful. Could you give us the option to set the default sort on the iPhone? Or if it’s too much trouble to do that, make A-Z the default? “Followed least recently” is the least useful option. Thanks.

Heu, which app are you talking about exactly? There is no (official) TVmaze app for iOS ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

I saved the TVmaze home page to my home screen. When I open it up after that it looks like a separate app, it doesn’t open up in Safari. I have a couple of other websites that act the same way. One of them calls it an app even though it isn’t something that you download from the App Store. So I assumed that it was some special way of setting up your website to act like an app on iOS. 

Does that help?

Right! That's technically called the "PWA" and not an "app" but I understand the difference can be confusing.

I'm not sure what setting you are talking about though. We only have a setting for the watchlist default sort (https://www.tvmaze.com/dashboard/preferences)... right?!

Right.  I was requesting that you also add a setting for Default Follows view.  I find the Follows page much easier to use.  Except for the default order, that is...  :)

I can live with it the way it is if it's too much trouble to add.  I've been living with it since I found the site and it's not that inconvenient.  But I figured that it couldn't hurt to ask.

The biggest help would be in the other suggestion I just posted, adding a back button.

Thanks for the quick replies, by the way.  :)
