I love the scrolling, and the previously feature is great, except it really needs to have most recent episodes at the top. Now, we just need to have an upcoming feature also!! Excellent update.

Other than that, it's a great app. I'm using it a lot more than I used the widget. Nice job!

Specifically American Idol!! I hate when they are missing... Please update (oh and thanks for adding the kath and kim picture) I’m sure there is somewhere else that would be a better to say this, but you need to get more tv show pictures!!

You really out did yourself with this release. I must say though that the new previous/upcoming bar really gets in my way. It's a great idea but does it have to be visible at all times? Another concern I have that I would love to see added in a future release is some sort of archiving feature. I primarily use the app on my iPod Touch and am not always in a place that has wifi. As it stands if I don't have signal and I launch the app I still can't see when the show is going to air. Sometimes I just need a reminder of (at the very least) the show start time. In all honesty though the update is much welcome. I noticed the speed right away and the "on air" ribbon is a great touch. Keep up the excellent work! The update is great!

My biggest gripe with the old versions was the lack of international timezone support. Now I don't lose shows which haven't aired yet simply because our timezone is a day infront of the U.S. Thanks heaps for that, loving it greatly!! Only small suggestion which I would love to see is the episode number (like Season 4, Episode 6 or S04E06 or 4x06) listed infront of the episode's title in the main list. Personally I don't know the episode names, simply what episode number it is. Would love to see this! Keep up the good work. Dude,

This is now the perfect app for me. One question: Is there a reason why the 'Previously' section runs from the oldest show at the top, to the most recent at the bottom? I imagine most people would use this feature to check if they just missed a show, so they would have to scroll to the bottom. It's no big deal but might work better the other way up i.e. most recent at the top. Love this app, great UI, great features and especially useful when you don't live in the States. Nice work!

Other stuff, like Top Gear, Live At The Apollo, and so on, which are UK-only shows seem to show up fine, I've had no problems with that. However, it's the US ones that annoy me a bit. Still, it's not that much of an issue since, at the moment, most of the shows here are either years behind the US (such as Two and a Half Men), which is what bittorrent is for, and the ones that are here (like 24, and Lost) are generally only one or two days behind the US release. I know that what I'm asking is probably quite a lot of extra code, but would it be possible to add in the future? Other then that, TV Forecast is brilliant. Keep up the good work. :) I notice there’s still no support for localized listings, which is a pity. :(
