[Suite TV] Full feature breakdown: TV Time import, 30M archived comments and what’s next
Posting this on behalf of Nico, the developer of Suite TV
Hi everyone!
I’m the developer behind Suite TV, a TV show, movie and anime tracking app available on both iOS and Android.
A bit about me before getting into the features: I’ve been using TV Time for over 10 years, and I’ve been a software engineer for about the same amount of time.
When TV Time started falling apart, I was genuinely sad about it, purely as a user. So I originally built Suite TV for myself, just to keep tracking what I watch the way I always had.
I shared it with a few people, and it grew from there, one person at a time.
At this point, it doesn’t really feel like “my” app anymore. It feels like something we’re building together.
Suite TV now has almost 100,000 users, with more than 400 million episodes marked as watched across their libraries.
I wanted to put everything in one place and give a clear overview of:
- What Suite TV currently offers
- What you can import from TV Time and other apps
- What is completely free
- What Suite TV Gold adds
- What is coming next
Everything below is available now unless it appears under “Coming Next.”
Thank you, r/TVTime
Before getting into the feature list, I want to thank everyone from this community who has tried Suite TV, recommended it, reported bugs, suggested features or helped improve the databases behind the app.
A lot of what has been added over the last few weeks came directly from community feedback.
The goal of Suite TV is to keep the things many of us loved about TV Time: tracking, community, reactions, comments, profiles and the social side, while continuing to improve it and build something with its own identity.
Import your TV Time history
One of the biggest priorities has been making it possible to move to Suite TV without starting over.
Suite TV currently supports imports from:
- TV Time GDPR exports
- TV Time CSV exports
- TV Time Liberator
- Trakt
- Sofa Time
- Letterboxd
Depending on the source, imports can preserve:
- Watched shows
- Watched movies
- Watched episodes
- Real viewing dates
- Ratings
- Comments
- GIFs attached to comments
- Lists
- Viewing history
TV Time Comment Archive
Suite TV also includes approximately 30 million archived comments originally posted on TV Time, through TV Time Archive.
They appear directly inside the normal Suite TV comment sections on their original:
- Episodes
- Shows
- Movies
Archived images and GIFs are preserved when available.
They live alongside new Suite TV comments instead of being kept in a separate archive.
So if you spent years commenting on TV Time, there is a good chance some of those conversations are still there. More info on: https://tvtime-archive.com
And it's not just the archive, the community here is very much alive: House of the Dragon season 3 alone has already gathered more than 3,000 comments on Suite TV since it started airing.
Full Feature List
Tracking
Suite TV lets you:
- Track shows, movies and anime
- Mark individual episodes as watched
- Mark episodes in bulk
- Mark seasons in bulk
- Mark content using the real date you watched it
- Use the original release date instead
- Select a custom viewing date
- Mark something watched without assigning any date
- Change viewing dates in bulk
- Track rewatches separately
- Keep every watch-through instead of overwriting the previous one
- Swipe between episodes
- Stop watching a show without deleting your viewing history
- Resume a stopped show later
- Hide a show or movie from your library while preserving everything you logged

- Quickly remove just the most recent rewatch without touching the others
- Start a rewatch of an entire show, moving its episodes back into your To Watch queue without losing your original history
Special episodes / Season 0 are grouped separately and do not count toward your normal series progress.
Up Next / To Watch
Suite TV has several automatic library sections:
- To Watch
- Upcoming
- Not Started
- Not Watched in a While
The To Watch queue is based on how far you have actually progressed in a show.
For example, if you skipped an old episode but continued watching later episodes, Suite TV does not automatically send you all the way back to that old episode as your next one.

Free vs Suite TV Gold
This part is deliberately simple.
Free
Every functional feature listed above is free.
That includes:
- Unlimited tracking
- TV Time imports
- Trakt imports
- Sofa Time imports
- Letterboxd imports
- Ratings
- Rewatches
- Comments
- Images and GIFs
- Archived TV Time comments
- Social features
- Profiles
- Lists
- Statistics
- Discovery
- Recommendations
- Notifications
- Widgets
- Share cards
- Streaming availability
Nothing functional is intentionally locked behind Gold.
Suite TV Gold
Suite TV Gold is completely optional.
Its purpose is to support the project while unlocking additional cosmetic customization.
Gold currently includes:

- Fully custom accent colors
- Additional app icons
- Animated GIF avatars
- Uploading your own custom poster image
- Custom-colored avatar rings
- Profile stickers
- Custom name fonts

- Gold checkmark
The normal tracking and community experience does not become better or more complete because you pay.
Gold is customization, not a functional paywall.

- Delete your account
Suite TV also has an in-app announcement center with a history of previous announcements.

Final Note
Suite TV started because I personally wanted somewhere to keep tracking everything I had spent years watching.
I never expected it to grow into something used by 100,000 people. Scaling something this size isn't new to me though, I've professionally built and scaled several large projects before, so I know what it takes to keep it running well.
I also know that no app will perfectly recreate every part of TV Time, and everyone will ultimately choose the alternative that works best for them.
My goal with Suite TV is to keep listening, keep improving it, preserve as much of people’s viewing history as possible, and build the app alongside the people actually using it.
If you try it, I’ll be reading the comments here and answering questions.
And especially for former TV Time users:
