Why can't I find a title I searched for?
TVPilot's search pulls from The Movie Database (TMDB), the same catalog most streaming apps use. If a title is very new, very obscure, or listed under a different name/year, it may not turn up — you can always add it by hand instead using "Manual" on the My Shows screen.
Why does a pick say "Not currently available to stream"?
TVPilot checks TMDB's real-time streaming data for every title. Sometimes a show genuinely isn't available on any subscription, free, rent, or buy option in the US right now — that badge exists so you know before you tap through, not after. Turning on the "Streamable Only" rule keeps those titles out of the running entirely.
How does the "Watch Now" button know where to send me?
When TVPilot knows which service has a title (Netflix, Max, Prime Video, Disney+, Hulu, Paramount+, or Peacock), the button names it directly — "Watch on Netflix," for example. When it doesn't have a specific match, it opens TMDB's own watch page for that title instead, which lists everywhere it's actually available.
How do I share my list with someone else?
Open Share from My Shows or the home screen, tap "Share…" to send your code however you'd like (Messages, AirDrop, etc.), and have the other person paste it into their own Share screen under "Got a Code From Them?" and tap Import. No account or sign-up required on either end.
I reinstalled the app and lost my titles — can I get them back?
If iCloud is enabled on your device, your titles, ratings, and rules sync automatically and should reappear shortly after reinstalling. If iCloud sync is off, TVPilot has no other backup — a Share Code sent to yourself (e.g., email it to your own address) is a good manual backup in the meantime.
Does TVPilot cost anything?
TVPilot is a one-time $0.99 purchase — no subscription, no ads, and nothing more to buy after that.
How do I delete my data?
Everything TVPilot stores lives on your device and, if enabled, in your own iCloud account. Deleting the app removes the on-device copy; disabling iCloud for TVPilot in your device's Settings (or deleting it from iCloud.com) removes the synced copy.
