Preferably lesser known but game-changing apps that are able to be bought one-time and put all others to shame.

To help clarify your thinking, which apps have produced such an outrageous level of value (regardless of one-time cost) to the extent you believe it should be #1 in its category, not necessarily #1 app ever.

We'll do a seperate thread for Mac, Windows, Linux, Android, etc but let's stick to iOS for this one. Thanks Lemmings!

As someone who watches a fairly wide variety of tv shows, “next episode” has been the most useful app on my phone for me. It helps so much for knowing what to subscribe to and when. Only sub when my favorite shows come out and catch up on the rest then. I’ve also discovered some new shows through their upcoming and trending lists (which is more of just a bonus and not why I got the app to begin with). It’s probably the only app I would give my full recommendation for anyway.

Do you have an app link? Searching for “episodes” shows a ton of romantic apps.

Oh I’m silly. It’s “next episode” not episodes! Sorry, I’ll have to edit my comment.

Look at ShowPal before you commit to that one. It looks better and the privacy deets are better.

ShowPal's actually sick too, has all the seasons and where to actually stream it!

Oh shit, the might be what I need to finally unsubscribe from the last few streaming services I pay for and fully hit the high seas.

eta: downloaded it and spent the last 30 minutes perusing and bought the app. Looks great.

Does it work for Australian shows, or is this an American Only method? Can't find the answer on their page, so I am guessing it is not for us.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I have seen some Australian and British shows listed, but I can’t tell you if they have a lot of them (I kind of doubt it). I only know that it’s very on top of US shows at least.
