Frequently Asked Questions

• Where is all data imported from?

  EpisodeCalendar fetches all information from an open database called TheTvDB.

  If a show doesn’t exist there, EpisodeCalendar won’t add it. No exceptions.

• I can't find a show, can you add it?

  You can actually add missing shows yourself! The request page allows you to search for shows directly from our data source and add them to our system. Give it a go :)

• Why is some show or episode information wrong?

  Since the imported data is managed by people just like you or me, it’s very hard to keep it 100% updated all the time.

  Incorrect data is usually corrected within a few days automatically.
  Please only contact me if a show is really messed up :)

• Show times are wrong in my Google Calendar feed?

  The source where I’m importing all the data from have terrible data and quality when it comes to air times and time zones. I’m looking into possible ways to get this working, but it is actually harder than it seems. But for now there is nothing I can do about it, and the air time will be wrong (the same for all shows) until I come up with a good solution.

• Will there be mobile or tablet apps?

  I am currently developing a mobile version of the site. However, I’ve decided to make this a Premium feature.

  The Premium accounts will be released together with the mobile version.

• What is a Premium account, and what does it include?

  A Premium account will simply have more features than a regular account. This account will have a monthly fee, and will probably cost $1 per month.

  Key features will be:
  - Mobile version of the site. Probably inside iOS and Android apps.
  - Achievements

  Estimated release: Late summer 2013.

• Why do I have to pay for features (Premium account)?

  EpisodeCalendar has been online since mid 2009. There hasn’t been any source of income at all, apart from a few donations.
  I’ve paid over $2000 on server costs since the release, not to mention hundreds of hours spent programming, designing and supporting the site, only during my spare time.
  Being the only developer on a big project like this is very fun, but also time consuming, more than I ever expected.

  I want to make this site the very best I can, but I need your help doing so.
  By purchasing a Premium account, you will help EpisodeCalendar become economically sustainable, as well as motivating me to keep improving the site.

  Regards,
  Creator of EpisodeCalendar.
