New features

An Android app for your shared archive. Look up series, add seasons, edit notes, change watched status and manage calendar entries from your phone or tablet.
One archive across your devices. Use the same Google account on Windows and Android; changes are saved locally first and transferred to Google in the background.
Smarter Windows search. Suggestions include title, year and TMDB ID; exact matches and names entered with extra spaces are handled better.
Maintenance with a results list. Check missing seasons, new episodes, changed dates and title corrections; reopen the latest result and print it on Windows.
Streaming providers by country. See subscription, free, ad-supported, rental and purchase offers reported by JustWatch via TMDB; a manual note can take priority.
Announced season starts. Known starts get provisional calendar entries; unknown dates stay unknown.
Choose the authoritative archive. If complete archive copies disagree, explicitly decide which one should be adopted by updated devices.

More consistent German and English titles across search, details, archive and calendar.
Maintenance can refresh translated titles without deleting and re-adding a series.
Newer seasons can be added without filling the archive with earlier seasons from before you started following a series.
A single known episode is no longer treated as a complete schedule; expected episode counts do not invent dates.
Confirmed schedules replace provisional entries; less complete later data does not shorten them.
Clearer distinction between a local save, pending transfer and Google-confirmed save.
Shared-archive version checks and improved recovery after interrupted transfers.
Easier reuse of a TMDB API key on devices using the same Google account.
More consistent light/dark presentation, menus and archive status indicators.
Compact Android footer with flags, light/dark selection, calendar, help and a real Exit action.

Regional aliases no longer take priority over the appropriate English title.
Calendar entries use the stored translated title instead of a German archive filename.
Duplicate archive files for the same TMDB series after title changes are prevented.
Watched status can be set and switched back again.
Edits are no longer undone by repeatedly applying an accepted authoritative archive.
The misleading “archive is being prepared” message that could hide a conflict and block deletion was fixed.
Calendar-target detection and errors for missing or inaccessible calendars were improved.
Recovery was improved when an upload succeeds but its confirmation is interrupted.
Android lists again use the available screen height.
Android search resets cleanly after an archive entry; delayed responses cannot refill cleared fields.
Android Exit closes the app task instead of only moving it to the background.
Windows closing and update handling were improved, including open save dialogs and pending changes.

Update all devices that use the shared archive before resuming normal use.
After an edit, wait for the Google-confirmed save or use Sync now when needed.
For older incorrectly translated titles, choose the required language and run Maintenance; protected values remain protected.
Episode dates and provider information are refreshed through maintenance and are not a continuous live feed.
Android is supplied as an APK; Google Play Store availability is not announced.
