What matters for your library

Questions

Can I still download and use the original TV Time?

The official TV Time website is now a farewell page. An indexed store listing or old screenshot does not establish an operating service.

What if I never saved an export?

Look for a previous download or backup. Moviebase cannot retrieve your old account from the closed service. Without a saved file, you can start a new library and mark the progress you remember.

Will my comments and friends transfer?

Do not expect the original discussions, reactions or social connections to transfer. A supported import concerns the records in your saved file and the titles that can be matched.

Is Moviebase free to download?

Yes. Moviebase is available on Android, iPhone, iPad and supported Macs. It is free to download, with optional Premium for ad removal, viewing statistics and other extras.
