Watch Heart 1.6.0

Watch Heart 1.6.0. Install it over any earlier version; your diary stays. (Or get it with F-Droid, which updates it for you.)

New since 1.5.0

• Memory stories: put your own photo from the night in a film frame, with who you went with, your own words and a filter. Move the little poster to any corner, or hide it.
• Friends: a row of faces, profiles you can look at before adding, people you might know, blocking, and an alert when someone asks to be your friend.
• Discover: award winners from Best Picture to the Palme d’Or, and more lists, from A24 and Studio Ghibli to Malayalam favourites.
• Text size in Settings, under Look.
• Shortest first: a watchlist sort by running time, for picking something that fits the evening.
• Diary search also finds words in your reviews and a title’s year.
• Where to watch links to the exact page on each service.
• The search box on Find suggests titles from your own watchlist.

Safer

• If your diary ever can’t be opened, Watch Heart says so and lets you try again, instead of showing it empty. Lists and settings are kept safe the same way.
• An episode you untick stays unticked when your other phone syncs.
• Home says when you seem to be offline, and leaves out rows that can’t load.

Fixed

• With App lock off, the lock screen no longer flashes as the app opens.
• Pages keep their shape with a large phone font, and Settings rows keep their full names.
• Imports use the right date, and Trakt collections and lists no longer land in your diary.

Watch Heart 1.5.0

Watch Heart 1.5.0. Install it over any earlier version; your diary stays. (Or get it with F-Droid, which updates it for you.)

New since 1.3.3

• Alerts that follow you: episode alerts cover the season you're on, then one note when the next season starts. Titles added before release get an alert on the day, on or off in Settings.
• Your own time zone: exact air times for broadcast shows, shown in your local date and held until morning overnight.
• Up to date with the app closed: a background check about twice a day refreshes air dates, release dates and the widget.
• The widget: resize it and it shows more, up to 8 rows. Its buttons respond right away, and App lock hides your titles unless you choose to show them.
• Streaming apps: Where to watch opens the installed app when it can.
• This week: posters by date, with a busy day stacked and tap to open.
• Friends: a friend's page loads more as you go, and stays still between Diary, Reviews and Lists.
• Delete one viewing from a title's page, with Undo. Deleting takes back its episodes and rewatch mark.
• Safer forms: leaving with unsaved words asks first.
• Two phones: a show changed on both keeps the ticks from each.

Fixed

• Unticking an episode now takes it out of the Diary, whichever day it was logged.
• Adding a dropped or finished show back to the watchlist keeps your progress.
• Hours watched count every episode in a viewing, and totals count titles, not diary lines.
• A newer change in your account is no longer replaced by an older copy when you sign back in.
