Too many things dont work to be of any use to me
Update after several months with the program:
Ive have had to downgrade my star rating from 3 stars to 1 for several reasons. First and foremost, there are fields that allow you to enter text but no way to save the text. Once you close the window the text disappears. I found the same problem with the field for adding an image for the Series. I have dragged a jpg, png, and tiff into this field and none of them have been saved. This all makes the program essentially unusable unless you are willing to accept the stuff it downloads from the web, which ranges anywhere from accurate to completely wrong, and are willing to settle for some of the fields being essentially uneditable. Its unfortunate because the idea is pretty cool and I have not seen another program of this type dedicated to tracking TV shows Ive watched. I hope this one gets an upgrade to address all its myriad of problems. Version 0.6.5 did not address any of these issuse so Ive pretty much had enough frustration so I wont be using it until these issues are addressed.
First impressions July 2011:
I doubt I will use this App much. I just kind of downloaded it to see if it was really as bad as the comments here indicated.
Addmittedly, it took me a while to get this to work, but after clicking around for 5 or 10 minutes or so I got everything working. There are some things - tooltips, menu names and other things - that are not translated to English or are misspelled. Also, the overall feel of the App seems a bit rough and un-intuitive. All that said, it does more or less do what it claims to do, give you a place to track TV shows you watch (and want to watch in the future).
Heres an example of one of the quirks I found. Personal comments for each episode can be added to the field mysteriously called "Argument" which contains the episode synopsis, but a seperate field to write your comments on each episode would make more sense.
Oh yeah make sure you immediately go into the Preferences and under the "Notice" tab and uncheck the "Check for info every....) box. Alternatively, you can set it for the longest time possible, but make sure you set all the stuff below it to No or Yes. If you leave it at the default "Ask", everytime the set interval comes up it will ask if you want to update every single episode not checked as watched with an individual screen for each episode and no way to escape!
