Popular Series Tracking App TV Time to Shut Down July 15, 2026 — Co-founder Launches 'Bingers' as New Home for Fans
TV Time, a series tracking app with millions of users, announces its shutdown. One of its co-founders has developed a new app named 'Bingers' to serve as a new home for fans, expected to launch by the end of July 2026.
The highly popular TV and movie tracking application TV Time is set to officially cease operations on July 15, 2026, following its parent company Whip Media's decision to shift its business focus towards AI products for enterprise clients. The announcement has disappointed many users, with over 25,000 people signing a petition against the shutdown.
With over 26.4 million cumulative downloads, TV Time has been a large community for series enthusiasts. However, good news for fans: Antonio Pinto, one of the original co-founders of TV Time, has announced the creation of a new application called "Bingers" to be a new home. Users will be able to import their entire viewing history from TV Time to the new app.
Pinto revealed that Bingers was created to address long-standing issues he had with TV Time, particularly performance problems that made the app slow to load and expensive to maintain. He stated that server costs were one of the main reasons for the shutdown, as revenue from premium subscribers only covered about 10% of these expenses.
For those interested, the website bingers.app is currently open for registration to receive updates. The Bingers app is scheduled to be available for download on both the App Store and Play Store by the end of July 2026, thus continuing the community of series lovers.
For Thai series and movie enthusiasts who rely on tracking apps, TV Time's shutdown is significant news. However, the launch of Bingers, created by the original co-founder, offers a promising alternative for users seeking to migrate their data and find a new app home.
