With this app you can see at a glance when the next new episodes of TV shows are coming up in both the USA and UK. Yes, this app serves not only the US American market but also has new shows from the UK, including those airing only in the UK.

The home page of this app shows a nice overview with the number of days remaining until the air date.

You can switch also to calendar view, where you can see shows on calendar.

The calendar view, however, seems to show only the first show (in example above: there is Eastenders also on Tuesday but it shows only Monday).

Of course only current shows can be added to track via this app.

This app has “forecast” in its name, so it shows future upcoming TV shows, not past ones, nor ones that are not airing anymore.

Some TV shows have extensive description near each episode (in this app).

But some others, like Futurama and The Big Bang Theory, don’t. They just offer the titles of episodes. This is dependent on the network, and whether or not they have issued an episode description, so even if you don’t see a description today, you might tomorrow or next week. Note also that since The Bing Bang Theory is not on iTunes USA, clicking iTunes link via button in this app, still opens iTunes but the result is empty.

In Settings you can change reminder, time zone correction and you can see that this app has been recently updated.

Conclusion: if you are following some specific TV shows, this app may come in handy. Since some TV shows (e.g. Futurama) go on sale via iTunes 1-2 days after original airing on TV, this app may also be helpful for people trying to get the latest TV show episodes via iTunes, not just via TV broadcasts.
