CouchTimes @couchtimes@indieapps.space

There are some additional fixes and small background improvements that I've made. This feels like a good step forward for CouchTimes, and now I can focus more on iOS 17 and getting things ready. Can't wait to hear your feedback!

Finally, CouchTimes now comes with a little new setting that allows you to hide all shows that don't have any episodes left in your Watchlist. Shows will appear again when new episodes arrive, and you can still see all shows in the "All Shows" view, but this should make Watchlist a more focused place and help with show management.

The second optimization is around search and how to add new shows. I removed the Tabbar and made the "Add New Show" experience more straightforward, while also allowing for a proper search inside your library.

The first big addition to CouchTimes is official iPad support. It now uses the whole space of an iPad. No upscaling is needed anymore. There will be further refinements on the iPad in the future, but this is a good start for now.

Version 1.3 is now available in the App Store. This new version brings the most significant changes so far to CouchTimes and tries to simplify CouchTimes even more.

Basic iPad support as well as hiding shows without any episodes left are also things that will make it into the next release.

Beta 1.3 should be available on TestFlight. While there are still some things to do, here is a little preview. Adding a new show via "Search" had a weird double-meaning in CouchTimes, now it should be much clearer and the library itself has a simple search feature at the top.

Version 1.2 is now available in the App Store! Nothing huge, but lots of small, little improvements around Search and some fixes. I'm working on 1.3, which will bring bigger improvements to bigger screens and an even simpler experience. ✨

Let's go…

I've been working on some improvements for Version 1.2, with a focus on making the search experience a little bit more convenient.

1. Search suggestions no longer have a limited list of results. More and more shows from a selected network are now displayed as you scroll.
2. More suggested networks and streaming services, with a special focus on Germany, including ARD and ZDF.

I'm sure it will land soon in TestFlight, too.

Version 1.1 is now available in the App Store. The biggest improvement is support for German translation and localization. ✨

We should be live on TestFlight now. 🙌

Well, perhaps I was a bit too hasty, but I'm certain the update will be available on TestFlight soon. 🤞😅

If everything seems OK, I'll push the update to the App Store next week.

I just shipped the first version of the upcoming 1.1 release to TestFlight. It's a beta for sure and only do it if you're okay with maybe something being a bit rough, but if you're interested in giving it a go, my TestFlight is open. Key features are:

- Support for German
- Sorting preferences now persistent
- Various bug fixes and little improvements

Work on 1.1 is in progress, and yes, support for German is part of this update.
