Track Your Favorite Shows

If you do a quick search in the App Store for TV show tracking apps you’ll find dozens of them. The best of these apps include comprehensive summaries of the plot of your favorite shows, as well as individual episode guides.

In the better ones you’ll also find great art work, and some even include clips and bonus materials from the show. iShows 2 is definitely what you’d classify as one of the better entries in this niche. It includes all of these features as well as some other little extras.

What’s puzzling about this app is that they only allow you to track four of your favorite shows at any one time in the free version, this seems extremely limiting. To gain unlimited access to all of your favorite shows you have to unlock it with an in-app purchase at a cost of $3.99.

You can also purchase theme packs to spice up the look of your app if you like. This app does have a nice user interface that makes tracking your favorite shows a breeze, but the question is it really something most people would be willing to pay for?

The iShows 2 app will require 32.3 MB of available space on your iOS device.
