In France, the popular TV and movie-tracking app TV Time is set to shut down, prompting over 25,000 users to petition against its closure. Antonio Pinto, one of the app's original founders, has announced the development of a new app called Bingers, which aims to preserve the community that formed around TV Time. Pinto expressed sadness over the shutdown, as the app had been a significant part of his life and the community felt like family. Bingers will allow users to import their watch histories from TV Time, ensuring that the community's discussions can continue. The new app is designed to be more sustainable, addressing the high server costs that led to TV Time's demise. Pinto plans to launch Bingers on the App Store and Google Play by the end of July 2026, with a waitlist already available for users to sign up. The app will also feature an archive import tool to recreate community comments from TV Time, allowing for a seamless transition for users.
