Summary: SeriesGuide is one of the most beloved show trackers on Android — open source, with new-episode notifications and Trakt sync. But it has two limits for anyone coming from TV Time: it's Android-only and it doesn't import TV Time directly (it relies on Trakt). Episodary has a native, faithful TV Time importer, works on the web and as a PWA on any device, brings shows and movies together, and comes in multiple languages. TV Time shut down on July 15; if you saved your export, you can still bring it in.

When SeriesGuide is the best choice
If you live on Android and want a robust, lightweight, open-source show tracker — with new-episode notifications, Trakt sync, and years of track record — SeriesGuide is an excellent, free choice. For anyone already using Trakt as their source who prefers a native Android app, it's a solid home.
When Episodary is the best choice
If the priority is reuniting with TV Time — your entire history, faithfully — Episodary imports the official export directly (real dates, episode counts, favorites, reactions, and comments) and turns it all into stats, badges, and a shareable Wrapped. And you don't need an Android device or a detour through Trakt: it works on the web and as an installable PWA right now, on any device, in multiple languages, with shows and movies in the same place, a broad catalog (telenovelas, K-dramas, anime, reality TV, web series), and a spoiler-free community by design.
Verdict
Android, notifications, and Trakt sync: SeriesGuide. Bringing TV Time over faithfully, on any device, right now, with shows and movies together and badges/Wrapped: Episodary. Also check out the full comparison and the step-by-step import guide.
