TV Time co-founder launches Bingers to revive the beloved TV tracking app
A new app called Bingers has been launched by a former TV Time founder to replace the recently shuttered TV tracking platform. The app aims to restore the social community features that users valued in the original product.
Why it matters
This reflects the demand for community-driven digital spaces and the challenges of maintaining niche social platforms after corporate acquisition.
Bingers, a new TV show and movie tracking app, has arrived to fill the hole that TV Time’s closure left. The new app is developed by one of TV Time’s original founders, Antonio Pinto, who said last month he would attempt to rebuild the best features of TV Time after its owner, Whip Media, decided to shut down the product to focus on AI efforts instead.
Whip Media’s exit from the space surprised and upset TV Time’s loyal userbase. The app had been installed a total of more than 26.4 million times when it was shut down, decent traction for an app of this nature.
Angered by the news of the closure, more than 28,000 users signed a petition begging Whip Media to save TV Time by offering support for crowdfunding donations or subscriptions. However, the app was shut down as planned.
