## What’s New ### Smarter TV Time Imports TV Time imports are now easier and more reliable. Paste a shared TV Time profile link, choose exactly which shows to import with poster previews, and carry over watched and unwatched episode status. If a show does not match automatically, the new **Find match** panel lets you pick the right series through live TMDB search. Short TV Time links now resolve correctly, and imports use our own backend first for fewer failed requests. ### TV Universe Groups Explore connected TV worlds like Arrowverse, Breaking Bad, and Law & Order. Follow crossover watch orders, compare originals with remakes, and tap universe badges on series pages to browse the full world. Community members can also suggest new universes. ### Redesigned Season Picker The season picker is now cleaner: one button opens a simple season list. Long-press any season to mark all aired episodes as watched while automatically skipping future episodes. ### Cleaner Feed & Series Pages Activity feed events are now grouped more neatly by user and day. Series pages have been cleaned up with better spacing, faster loading, and smoother scrolling. ### Reliability Fixes Fixed crashes, white-screen failures, reconnecting sync issues, and a bug where watched episodes could immediately undo themselves.
