I would really appreciate to get some feedback for my app. Thanks in advance!
life is easier with this app.
Let's give it a try, I'll then give you some feedback.
good work
I will try it too and give you feedback.
Feedback
Hey
I tested your app. The performance is great and so is the app. I really love the actors tab.
My suggestions for your app to make it more user-friendly and maybe to add some additional features:
I don't really like the percentage indicators in the shows tab. The progress bar (13/14 seen) in the shows own tab is much better.
The next unwatched episode checkbox should be in the main tab (shows) to quickly mark episodes as seen. Now you have to click on every show and there click the box and go back...
Maybe make the popup of episodes swipeable to go quickly through all episodes (useful when you search for a specific one) and show the season/ episode number in the header.
A combined favorite tab for episodes and actors/actresses. Maybe located in the swipe out menu.
A news tab for "my" shows (not sure if this is possible).
A new shows tab to quickly look for new shows.
I will continue using the app and maybe find more things

Wow, thanks for the great feedback! Some of your ideas are really great :good:
I will definitely change the percentage indicator and try to add the next unwatched episode box in the main tab in the next update.
Your suggestion with the swipeable seasons/episodes is great, but since the the fragment with the episodes is already swipeable(Actors - Overview - Episodes) I have to think about how to implement it user-friendly.
In one of the next updates, I also try to implement a new tab with popular shows/trending shows to give the user some tv show suggestions. Maybe I add also a new shows tab there, but the API adds many many shows daily and most of them are very unknown.
And thanks for continuing using my app, really appreciate it
Clicking on an episode could open a new level with only episodes swipeable.

Myself, I really hate that feature, if possible make it an option that a user can turn it on or off. I know it will have it's own tab, but I would still like to hide it.

Oh, I described it incorrectly, my bad. I would made a new item in the navigation drawer to get to the trending/popular shows.
Seems great!
I Just had a sneak peak after installing 'cause I'm at work, but seems to even find anime ( not sure about less famous ones; but that's not your fault ^^)
I was going to develop a personal site that could help me to track series and anime, but you beat me on time!
It would be great the integration on google account, giving this way the opportunity to sync with other devices instead of relying on export and restore.
I'm gonna test fully this evening on my way home!
Is the app data specific to countries/region?
Hi @mrtn453,
Thanks for such a nice utility app.. Just have a question( yet to try this!) - is it specific to country/region?
Just gonna drop a line here to keep the thread easy to find.
i made my own years ago, but nowhere near this useful, nice work ^_^

It isn't specific to country, its the same in every country.
Thanks for the app, it's very useful. Just a sugesttion, how about making a homescreen widget with information about next episodes of the shows you're watching?
Not the best
This app has great functionality but I find TVShow Time better. It's ui is much better and it has the same features that this app has
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tozelabs.tvshowtime
I recommend you to add a quick walk-through/guide. It will be less confusing.
Its a good app.. I liked it. I was working on a similar app way back.

DroidSeries is a TV Series/TV Shows browser and tracker application for Android. Tacking down TV series, episodes, air dates, etc, is a difficult task as there are so many TV series. DroidSeries will help you manage your favorite TV Series and keep track of the episodes that you have or have not seen.
I created this application and just released the first version. Suggestions that help improve the app are also welcome and appreciated!
It's most probable that you will find a bug, so sorry in advance and keep those bug reports coming!
I set up a Google Code page for this app: http://code.google.com/p/droidseries/
DroidSeries source code @ Gitourious
DroidSeries is available in the Android Market under the name "DroidSeries Beta".
All the necessary information plus the apk file (for a manual download), DroidSeries-0.1.5-3.apk is available there. (ChangeLog)

Nice idea
good luck
Thanks, will give this a shot as MyEpisodes Viewer no longer works.
Don't know if this is possible and it might be a bit cheeky.. but would it be possible to import the database from MyEpisodes? ;-) I've spent quite some time going through all of the shows i've watched on there, it would be good if I could skip doing it again!
Edit:
Suggestions-
*Couple of Serie/series typos?
*I would prefer it if the specials were not included in the 'Episodes not watched' calculation. Many of them are silly little clips which don't even air everywhere in the world. Also it includes them in the number of Seasons, which gives the incorrect number for most shows.
*Some form of simple backup/online sync is a MUST
*Shows without a thumbnail appear to be selecting thumbnails from other shows at random
*Following on from that, an option to manually add a thumbnail?
The layout with thumbnails look superb and it all moves very fast
I will take a look at that, if it is possible I'll make it happen.
Market
Excellent work, congratulations for the application.
Do you plan do add it to the market?
Brilliant idea, will be using it for sure. I'd like the ability to backup/restore data too, for my own sanity
will gladly give this a try, seems a lot better than the app i'm using atm....
will let my friends know about the development too
I just updated the links to the 0.1.2 version that fixes some bugs.
DroidSeries-0.1.2.apk
I really like this I think it will help me keep track of all the shows I like to watch and make sure I dont forget about them while waiting for the next season to start. I agree with the typo fixes and possibly an option to remove specials. Something not mentioned though which is not a big deal but would be real nice, add an option to select all episodes as watched in a season to speed things up a bit.
Sounds interesting will give it a try ...
Aside from the few typos, this is a pretty nifty app! I see potential in it.

It's already possible to mark all episodes of a seasons as watched. There is a context menu in that window. If you long press a season, the option will appear.
Like I said You before it looks very interesting this app, let me see if I have some time to try it today.

Yea I didn't spot this at first either. Actually enabled me to add most of my shows very quickly
First off, as an avid Television watcher I want to thank you for making such an application. I often forget which shows are on which nights and at what times.
This application is a great start and really has a lot of potential to be much bigger.
A few suggestions if I may,
1) Notifications when the show is going to air, or something letting you know that the show is going to be airing that day.
2) I know someone already mentioned this, but a backup of all the shows that have already been inputted. I have over 40 shows I like to keep up with and to input them all over again would be a pain.
3) Perhaps an option to get the show synopsis for each episode.
Can't think of anymore as of right now, but when I do, I will let you know.
Thank you.
Very interested in this since I don't have cable and have to download my TV shows. This would be a nice addition to keep track of shows. Giving it a try!
I really like the look of this
At the moment I use tvjunkie and it is an excellent app, but I like the addition of colour thumbnails on your app.
I have just installed it and had added about 5 tv shows and was searching for a 6th and got repeated FC's for some reason
Another thing is when I tried to update all series, it tells me I have no internet connection even though I have full wifi signal. Then I do them individually and it works??
Finally, I added a tv show my wife just started watching called Haven
It has aired 2 episodes so far, but even after updating, it tells me I have 8 not watched and next epsiode is 1x01 on 9th July 2010, whereas the next one will be 1x03 on the 23rd July?
As a matter of interest, or maybe you don't want to say.... just curious where you are pulling the feeds from. I checked epguides and it gives correct air dates for Haven, whereas IMDB TV seems a bit jumbled for this tv show and would explain the errors?
nice app, I've been using google docs to keep track for years now
Great little app, I have started up some google issues with some typo's..
I do have one comment, not sure if I want to mark what I have seen unseen via the app, I already have mediabrowser to do this via my MCE.. More interested in when the show is going to air next etc.. Anyway to bypass the having to mark a show as "watched"?
Excellent i don't have to manually search for what shows aired anymore
Found a bug:
* it sometimes FC when adding a show. Not always though but it FC just after pressing the add sign and i think i just see the popup for retrieving the show informations for a fraction of a second before that.
Some wishes:
* i added bleach, it has so many seasons that i wished there was a "Mark all season up to this one as seen" button
* some sort of rating / comment / integration with a forum would be nice. So far you can only see the show description. Or something like amazon: people watching this show also watch XXX. I think this would be great to have in the future.
* a better highlight of the unseen already aired shows (vs. unseen not aired yet), so for example i could just open this app and figure out what shows just aired that i should see next
* related to above, you could also split the main show list into "Just aired": the shows that you can see now, "Coming next": shows that will air in order of air date, and perhaps "On Hold": shows that are between seasons and will air like next year / a few months (can make this time lapse configurable)
* related to above, why not a widget that displays that (i am not a big fan of widgets in general but it could be useful)
* a timeline view
* option to ignore unseen specials
Hi guys, an app I've been working on for the better part of 6 months has been released into the market as a free beta. It's called TV Show Favs and lets you manage all of your favorite TV shows.
It shows you a personal schedule for all upcoming shows of your favorites, has a top favs for all users, allows you to track every episode you have watched, and it even has a custom notification manager where you can either choose to be notified for all your shows, or just the shows you want, or even at an episode level. You can choose to be notified at a default time (5 min up to a week), or select an individual episode and choose the exact time/date. Also, everything is stored online, so you never lose any of your data, and once we eventually have a website to manage online, and potentially an iphone app, your info goes with!
In less than 3 days we have had over 1000 downloads already. I am working my butt off to fix any bugs that are reported and implement any feature suggestions. Any feedback is great! Thanks!
Here is our website - www.tvshowfavs.com - which has some info about the app as well as some screenshots, and the link to the app in the market. If you are too lazy to go to the site, here is the market link: http://market.android.com/search?q=pname:com.tvshowfavs

Hi, I just downloaded your app and it looks great. I cant wait to try it out.
Do you have any plans to make a widget showing upcoming shows.
I love this program. You should incorporate reviews and user ratings from IMDB or something... and the ability to write reviews directly in your app and post to IMDB (if possible). Also, if you could mark all shows on all seasons watched at once instead of tapping seasons/season 1/menu/mark all watched... meaning eliminate one middle step... seasons/menu/mark all watched, that'd be sweet too.
Awesome. Just downloaded, will post impressions soon. I really liked droid series, but no notifications hurt.
Quick impressions:
Interface is amazing for finding and searching shows
It looks like it will be invaluable for keeping on top of things (most of my shows happen to start this week, so I get lost!)
In fact, the only problem I have with this app, is it doesn't look like it will be that good at keeping up with old series your going through. To fix that, I'd like to see
In the page, with the show, under seasons tab, there is a list of all seasons. Under the season number, I'd like to see "x unwatched episodes"
I'd like to be able to mark the entire season as watched
An option to mark multiple seasons watched at once
Droid Series does these things excellently, if you want a good example. However, yours is far better at keeping up with current shows. Fix the above problems, and I would for sure be a buyer. Otherwise, I'll still be stuck with two programs for TV.
Its a good app, and i saw that you added calender integration? I'm not sure how to sync it with my calender though. Is this actually a feature or something coming soon?
I definitely plan on having an upcoming shows widget down the road.

We do have plans on doing user reviews and ratings within the app. We also plan on having relational suggestions, as well as comments for shows and episodes. These are things that will likely make the main release, possibly the beta. Also, in the next update (Sunday or Monday), we will have the option to set a show as watched and a season as watched. As for IMDB, this is a great idea and I will look into it.

What exactly do you mean by no notifications? There are notifications in the app, in fact the most customizable notifications of any app I can imagine.

To add an episode to the calendar just select any episode in a list (List of episodes in the episode list view, episode on the schedule) or select the "Add To Calendar" menu option in the menu on the episode info screen.

I meant droid series (the app I used previously like this) had no notifications, and that was the biggest drawback to it. Loving the notifications/schedule on this app
I like it so far. My only complaints would be that instead of episode information I see pictures and that the color scheme (grey and dark blue) is a little ugly.

Maybe it's just me, but I can't stand dark color schemes because not many people coordinate colors properly. For me, light grey color schemes are best because they're easy on the eyes and it's easy to find complementing colors. The android app market is a good example of a well designed app.
I can't find it in my market I'm using HD2 with Desire HD Android port. Can somebody help me. I'm a total TV shows junky. The app looks veeery nice!
I was just needing this app...
With all the good shows on several different networks and the seasons of the shows hard to keep up with, I was wondering if there was app that could keep up with my shows and here it is. Can wait to put it to the test this week.

Did you try using the direct link either via the barcode on the website or clicking the barcode on your phone? If so, it is very possible that since it is a leaked rom some apps don't show up. I have had that issue in the past when installing custom roms. Usually it requires the rom maker to modify something on the rom to make it work.
I really like it, I've done my video review with a few requests in
http://hemorrdroids.net/tv-show-favs/
Main one being, can you make an option to add all shows to a calendar of my choosing? I would then make a new calendar for TV shows
Really enjoy this app, does a lot of things I like. For some reason I couldn't find anywhere to link the schedule to my calendar? Running 2.2 (FroydVillain 1.5) on Hero. A couple of suggestions:
1) Option to turn on an additional button next to the "Watched" button in the schedule, named "Downloaded". So you can track which episodes you have downloaded, and then which of those you have watched (not for illegal use, most broadcasters let you download episodes from their websites legally, eg BBC). This button probably isn't needed by everyone, but having the ability to turn it on would be nice
2) A friends button. Allowing you to link to other people using the app to share Favs, and see who has watched what episodes (if they plan to share this information).
3) Comments. Would be great to be able to add comments to episodes, so your friends can see what you have said about an episode (add a tickbox for spoilers!). So when you click the "Watched" button, it gives you an option to add a comment.
4) Facebook (or Twitter) link. To post a status on Facebook/Twitter including your comment, for example: "Zebwen just watched House Season 6 Episode 1 and thought: Wow! About time!" (With a little pic of the House show image next to it, and a link to the show on TV.com or somesuch).
As it stands, this app is a great tool, these are just some suggestions that I would love to see for my own use. Keep up the great work!

I have a question,
I have two mobiles and an eee-pad transformer, and im installed TeeVee on all of them, and since i follow around 13 series, it was rather painless to add them on all devices. How about a feature to allow one to share all the series, maybe via a QR code or something, that could be read on other devices and add them automatically?
Thanks!

Hello. What do you mean by adding other countries? You can search shows from all over the world in the "Search" tab The "On Air" tab lists all the shows currently airing in the UK & US but you can follow any show from around the globe.
Thank you for your interest!
Hmm... tried to buy the app but market must not be working cuz it said: an error occured.
I dont know though... I can download other stuff... gonna try again later..

Just bought your app - first tough - it would be nice to make adding your shows simpler. Now I need to add one by one, followed by skipping to the beginning of the list.. A little bit annoying
edit. it would also be nice to have most of the interface in English

Hello koven thank you for your opinion! There is English language available you just have to go to the Settings and change the language
About making adding shows easier, we'll take a look into it, I guess you're right. Well good thing is you only have to add them once
Thank you once again.

Some of the infos are not translated.
Maybe once, but it's o annoying and time consuming, I just stopped at 4 shows.
I can filter my shows, but as I don't remember all of them It would be nice to add a tick to the scroll list and then select add.

I'm enjoying your app so far, with one exception I hope you can address. Some of my shows aren't being put into the calendar on the correct days.
First thing I tried to resolve the issue was to hit the update button and re-populate the calendar, but nothing changed.
Here's a screenshot of the app on my phone. The show I'll use for an example is Boardwalk Empire (though it's not the only show that's listed incorrectly):
Next I thought there might be an error with http://www.tvrage.com/ so I went there to make sure the information is correct:
As you can see, the next episode should be airing on Sunday, 6 November 2011. So something is breaking down between http://www.tvrage.com/ and your app. Might be some kind of scraping error.
Edit: I should note that Sunday, 6 November 2011 is the correct air date for the next episode of Boardwalk Empire according to HBO.

Here is a link for folk https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.fred.feedex
Thanks for your work.
Thanks, I like this
I like the modern design and the dark theme.
A request ... In the widgets, it would be good if the user could choose the number of lines to display per item of news. To clarify, I'd like to see the main news item in bold at a user defined size along with maybe a line or two (as opted by me) of the news details. The headline alone does not allow me to understand if the item is worth opening. To get an idea of the look of the widget I intend, look at Scrollable news widget
Another thing is ... to keep in line with the latest Gmail, remove the refresh button and let the user pull down to refresh.
Cheers
Hi!
Sorry for the late answer, with the holidays I forgot it
Concerning the widget, I agree there is lot of improvements to do. This is not my priority because I would like to add some features to the application before (search, tablet support), but I'll do it and make FeedEx News Reader better and better, I just need time
Great app, thank you for this. I give you five stars in Play Store. Finally i can get rid of annoying feedly.
I have a question, though: how does exclusion filter work? Tried to apply it to some feed, seems not to work or i can't understand something. Let me explain. I read some russian news site called Mignews. The problem with them is that they don't post sport news in separate feed, and i totally uninterested in sport news. Every sport-related entry has a title starting with 'MIGsport:' and the actual title after it, so i thought i can filter these entries out by entering MIGsport: and checking «Apply to title», but these entries are still there. I am doing something wrong or don't understand the purpose of filtering?
Thanks for the stars I'm glad to see that some people really like FeedEx.
Concerning your issue, I think the filter is working but you have to know that it's effective only on futur news. The already downloaded news are kept, even if they match with the filter.
Can you confirm me that?
Well, I understand. Let me check it for couple of hours and I'll report back.

Ok, if it's does not work, then there is chances that there is a bug inside FeedEx
I don't think it's a bug, let's wait and see. I set the app to auto-refresh every 30 minutes. What I'm going to do is to compare my timeline in FeedEx with desktop reader and my girlfriend's one. This way I'll know for sure. Will report my results later today.

OK, tested and filtering works for newly downloaded entries! Thanks a lot!

You're welcome.
I agree it's a little confusing, I should explain this somewhere into the app
Thank you for your application, it is very convenient! Tell me, are there plans to make a list of feeds foldable and add the ability to reduce the font in the "news"? On my Note2 they look very big.
Hi!
Sorry for the late answer
Concerning the possibility to fold the feeds, I was possible before but not today. I remove it to allow to clic on a group and to have more simplicity into the navigation drawer. For my use, the folding feature is still present into the feed edit screen to allow to move them easily into groups.
So I'm sorry but there is currently no plans for adding it again.
And concerning the font size can you post a screenshot or explain where exactly do you find the font too big?
Hi HoloAddict!
Nice program, thanks for your excellent work. By the looks of it, the only developing standalone RSS feed reader with offline mode on the market.
Some feature suggestions for this app:
- would be nice to be able to configure font and font size. I find current font the program uses is a bit inconvenient for my eyes. I would prefer the one used by gReader. But others may like the current font. Would be nice to have it configurable.
- would be nice to have per-channel settings for number of items and item expiration. Would also be nice to be able to prevent unread items from being automatically cleared (but still clear the read ones).
- would be nice to have channel groups collapsing and expanding in the channel list - this would save space in the channel list and optimise it's navigation.
- buttons "Show original text" and "See in browser" in the article reading mode - can you make them smaller or move to the header row? Or at least make this option configurable? For short articles they take half of the screen
- would be nice to have "back" button to return you from article list to channel list, and not quit the program (this might be personal. I just got used to this hierarchy: channel list --> article list --> article).
Apart from that - great app, thanks for your work!

You're the second one who tell me this. I personnally prefer the one use by feedex (otherwise I would not have choose it ), I believe it's less tiring. Do other people think as darsh?

I do not want the first part (to keep it simple), but the second part is interesting, I think I'll implement it.

It was like this before, but I changed my mind to keep simplicity (code and UI) and allow some actions like clicking on a group. Moreover I used group collapsing especially for feed sorting, not for reading it everyday.
- buttons "Show original text" and "See in browser" in the article reading mode - can you make them smaller or move to the header row? Or at least make this option configurable? For short articles they take half of the screen

I do not understood this one... Why the size of these buttons is a problem ? They are always at the bottom of the text.

You're not the only one to ask me this. I could do it but this is against the android principle of a navigation drawer. Look at the gmail app, the back button doesn't open the drawer. And if I do like you said, I can't quit the app with the back button... Moreover, the back button should do what it's aimed for: going back, not open a menu.
@HoloAddict: Actually, I wanted to ask for same: to place «Retrieve the full text» and «See in browser» buttons side by side. It looks better and more «polished» and takes less place.

Side by side? I agree it would be better but I'm affraid there won't be enought width on lot of phone to be able to do that...
Nice App
@HoloAddict thanks for this App. I´m using youre feed reader now for a week and it´s really nice. Only thing missing for me atm is to switch filter from exclusion to inclusion because there are some feeds where I would prefer to get only news for filtered terms. :good: :good: :good:

FAQ
The floating bubble only appears on top of the lock screen
Might you be using an xposed module that makes your device always appear in fullscreen mode? The bubble hides itself when in fullscreen.
To solve this, press on the bubble in the lock screen, press on the three little dots on the top left of the side-screen, go to settings, and turn on "Keep bubble available in full-screen mode".
Forgot to mention that we added a special feed just for the apps and games forum in XDA, just to show our appreciation to the community
Been looking for a new news app but the ads in top news are a bit much...especially the full screen ads and no option to pay to upgrade to remove them. Otherwise good sources and has potential to be great.
No custom rss? No support for feedly? This app is useless in my opinion, way better apps in play google! If feedly support is implemented i'll redo my comment
As @Sieber101 said, it would be good to have some way to remove the ads...
Also is it possible to get news of other countries ?? I see the app is restricting to only USA and
only a limited number of Sources of news.
Cheers,
Greg

Thanks for the feedback!
We are looking to add premium feature to remove ads.
Hi
Well, would be nice to try this app if all we were US residents... But it's not so.
Hi everyone,
Thanks for all the feedback
We are adding support for custom rss feeds.
It should be done in the next few days.
In the meantime I would appreciate more feedback. Is there anything more you would like to see in the app?

Will be sure to give it some support in a good rating

Hi and congrats for this great app. I would personally love to have the ability to open directly the bubble every time I open the app.
Now you are shown the menu and choose to open the bubble.

Hi @Gggggas
Thanks for the suggestion.
Note that the bubble will automatically pop out whenever a new article arrives.

Yeah I know that but if you kill it with greenify and want to reopen the bubble you have to do that process I mentioned.
Greetings from Greece and keep up the great work!

I'm not sure it should be the default behaviour, but we could add a switch in the settings to enable that.
Thanks again!
Another suggestion
When I open the bubble to see the news, the bubble closes every time I select an article to open with a browser. Since I am using link bubble and flynx which run in the background it would be awesome if the top news bar didn't close and just let me select the articles I want to read.
In that way link bubble would have loaded 7 or 10 pages for me to read.

Wow!
Top News AND Link Bubble AND Flynx? This is like multi-multi-multi-tasking. All hail the multitasking king
I'll have to think about it. It might not be technically easy to keep the side-screen open when you select an article.
Maybe it can be done with the long-press menu.
Thanks again for the suggestions. Keep them coming :good:

Hehe yeah I'm a multi multi tasker lol using pin tasking too by the way, which turns regular browsers like chrome into bubbles.
I hope you can do it cause it would be just amazing for multitaskers.
Can't wait for the next updates!

Hi @gregferns
You are absolutely right.
In the next version we plan to add custom RSS support, so you can add your local news sites.
On the longer run, we plan that the default list will offer you by default news sites from your local country.
Thanks
Uploaded version 1.0.2 to the play store:
Bubble badge is now smaller
Squashed some bugs
Looks pretty good, installing now!
