Founder of TV Time launches Bingers to recapture lost community
4 Aug
Summary
- Bingers app launched by former TV Time founder Antonio Pinto.
- It revives popular social features missing from other trackers.
- The app imports data and uses on-device processing to cut costs.
Bingers, a new app for tracking TV shows and movies, has been launched by Antonio Pinto, one of the original founders of the popular service TV Time. The closure of TV Time by its owner, Whip Media, on July 15, 2026, left a void for its dedicated user base. Pinto aims to bring back the essential social elements that distinguished TV Time, allowing users to connect with fellow fans, share theories, and create memes.
TV Time's community was notably active, with over 28,000 users signing a petition to save the app, highlighting its unique social appeal. Bingers will offer a familiar experience with user profiles, comments, media sharing, episode ratings, and interactive features like voting on favorite characters. To address the financial issues that led to TV Time's demise, Bingers will offload processing to users' devices, reducing server dependency.
The app will initially monetize through direct user contributions for server costs and has future plans for in-person community events. Bingers is available on both iOS and Android platforms, providing a space for fans to not only track their viewing but also to engage socially with content and each other.
