Periodically reload automatically

I frequently find that upcoming episodes from the upcoming list are missing; until after I manually reload the series info. This makes the upcoming list unreliable.

No one should have to check for missing items on a reminder list. An option to automatically refresh a series information every few days could eliminate the problem completely.

As a matter of fact, the app already do this.
Could you please contact us at support@femastudios.net and tell us your phone model, Android version, app version?
Thanks for your report

Okay, now I feel a bit stupid. If the app already does this, then my problem is probably due to the fact that I use Greenify, and foolishly added TV Series to the hibernation list. I have removed it from there, and I will let you know if the problem still exists.

But just in case it does, would it be possible to include an option to refresh all shows on a filtered list?

I know that would make it possible to use a lot of extra data bandwidth; but you could simply include a pop-up warning of that fact (with an ok and cancel button) whenever the option was triggered. It would be so much easier than tracking down each individual show to refresh.

By the way, I am truly impressed with virtually every aspect of this app. To include so much functionality in such a stylish, customisable and classy looking package is a rare accomplishment indeed. Thank you for creating it.

Thank you for your compliments.
Our goal is to improve the automatic update, so the user don't have to worry about it.
It's a bit difficult because we use thetvdb.com, which does not supports push notifications when the info of a show changes, so we have to find the best compromise between date reliability, battery comsume and bandwidth usage.

I have a similar issue. TVDB had false information about the episodes of Sherlock season 4. TV Series extracted it and kept it. I had to realize the it's a mistake and manually hit the reload button to get the fixed information.
