TV series only
EpisodePal does not split your attention between films and series. If your real problem is keeping up with shows, the app stays on that job.

Import is the obvious switching lever. EpisodePal supports direct TV Time import, plus other common tracking sources, so you do not need to rebuild from memory.

EpisodePal is intentionally TV-series only. That makes the queue, watch history, and what-airs-next view easier to scan.
This comparison is aimed at people searching for an iPhone-friendly TV Time alternative. EpisodePal does not win every category. It wins the categories that matter most if you care about TV-only tracking, exact progress, and clean switching from TV Time.
