"Does what it says on the tin!"
Version: TVShows 2.0b11

Very easy to use and works very well.

Doesn't automatically download the torrent so I still need to view my subscriptions and manually instruct a download. Shame.

Great little application and works well with Vuze on my mac.

"Back for good... or bad? (Depends on your outlook)"
Version: TVShows 2.0b8
Pros
It works, and works well. Set it up, and it gets what you want...!
Cons
Unfortunately for those people who have very good reasons for keeping you from getting programs this way... It works, and works well. Set it up, and it gets what you want!
Summary
If you don't have any qualms about the purpose of this software, by all means, get it. I DO wonder why the previous publisher so abruptly turned their back on it though.

"Brilliant well worth downloading"
Version: TVShows 0.4.8r2

Well once you subscribe to a particular tv show it will automatically download as soon as it becomes available so it becomes a nice surprise

Up to now nothing
Summary
Before having this program, I would be following a tv show such as 24, and because I was busy on other things I would forget to search for it and I was never really sure when it was available to download. now because of this program it gets downloaded automatically which I think is brilliant.

"Awesome app!"

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
This little application is totally awesome and I just want to thank the developer for taking
over the project! Kudos!! -
"Does what it says; offers little more."
Version: TVShows 0.4.4
Pros
Doesn't require any further action after initial setup. Works.
Cons
Doesn't give much feedback about why a new episode isn't available. Doesn't differentiate between higher/lower definition torrents.
Summary
The great thing about this app is that I set it up, forgot about it, and it continues to do what I told it to without getting in my way. I applaud the developer for that.
However, it would be nice if?when, for instance, my favorite show is a rerun this week?it would tell me why there is no new episode downloading. The entire point (for me) is that I shouldn't have to hunt this info down, and then when applicable hunt down the latest torrent.
While mentioning the torrent, I could point out that the show I follow using this program usually shows up as two different torrent files?one standard def .AVI and one hi-def .MKV. I only want the high def. It gets the first one posted, which is a coin toss. It does this even when set at "very high (720p)" in prefs.
Also, with this update I had to resubscribe to my show!
All in all, it works enough?I still use it, but I treat it as a backup in case I forget to download my show. -
"Dead Simple"
Version: TVShows 0.4.4
Pros
launch th eapp pick a show and you are set to go when the show is available it is downloaded. I still use Tomato Torrent for downloading torrents because it just works.
Cons
Right now it is very generic programing. I would like to be able to access special programming.
Summary
Pick the shows you want and forget about it. TV Shows runs in the background and does all the work. I wish iSquint worked in Snow Leopard for conversion. I have fallen back on QuickTime 7 Pro.
