(Newsbox) 20-May-2012

Pink Zombie Studios today introduces TVHound 1.0, their new app for iOS devices. TVHound is an app that allows users, alive or undead, to track their favourite shows, see what's coming up on television, see which shows or movies are trending, and check-in with shows they're watching.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Pink Zombie Studios' TVHound is Now Available

Singapore 18 May 2012 - The undead workers at Pink Zombie Studios have been at it again. Locked in their dungeon, with televisions blaring, during the commercial breaks, the zombies worked in secret to bring us a new app, one that fuels their obsession with television and movies.

"We had no idea what the zombies were working on. We knew they loved television. They watch it 24/7, what with never sleeping. But without brains, our poor zombies can't keep track of when their favourite shows are on, which must be why they created TVHound," says Fahim Farook, human and live leader of the Pink Zombie team.

TVHound enables a user, whether alive or undead, to track their favourite shows and see when an episode will be shown, to see episode and show or movie information, see what's trending, and so much more. Those zombies really packed in the features on this one...

A user can look at which shows or movies are trending; search for shows or movies; mark shows, episodes, and movies as seen; and use the Your Shows feature to see upcoming shows and movies.

The zombies even added in hints for every screen. How considerate of them.

Features

  • The Your Shows screen will display a list of episodes and movies according to date it will air along with a thumbnail of the show, the episode name, the date and time it will air, and which television station and country it will air in.
  • The Calendar screen displays a listing of all upcoming shows, regardless of whether or not it's on your watch list.
  • Search for episodes, television shows, and movies.
  • The Watched screen displays a list of all shows and movies you've marked as seen.
