Social TV app tvtag goes antisocial and will shut down
Why? I mean, I barely ever used it, but it's been around awhile.
Never heard of it, and likely I would never find it in the app store anyways given their crappy search engine.
On the same topic, does anyone have a good suggestion for a good TV related app?

I have been using this app since it was GetGlue. It's too bad that they are shutting down. I believe I heard of this app first from iMore.
Why did TVTag even buy GetGlue if they weren't going to invest the time and money to make it a better product?
More importantly, where are we going to go now? Are Viggle and Miso still operational? What is the best second screen app for us TV junkies?
From the information I know, GetGlue rebranded as TVTag. It was bought by anyone.
I'm with you. I would love to hear suggestions for an app that is similar to TVTag or even better.
GetGlue was definitely bought by someone who changed it to TvTag. However the differences were minimal. They changed the color scheme, added "curated content," (a few videos from networks and shows,) changed the stickers from physical to digital, and got rid of other interests like books and sports, keeping it just to TV. Otherwise, it worked just the same, which was never that great to begin with. Actually, it started going downhill before TvTag bought it. The original GetGlue interface more easily facilitated conversations. The newer interface looked more modern, but stunted conversations.
GetGlue was good. TVTag was a mess.
I used it when it was GetGlue and it was a great wee service but when it became TVTag I stopped. It was horrible. Shame really, because I enjoyed using it... (when it was GetGlue).
SO YOUR SHUTTING DOWN!...WHY THOUGH? GIVE A GOOD REASON NOT SOME DUMB SHIT REASON. NO WONDER WHY YOUR CLOSING BECAUSE SOCIALLY YOU CAN'T GIVE A GOOD ANSWER THATS WHY YOUR SIGHT FAILED...IT SHOULD HAVE STAYED AS GET GLUE,...NOW IT'S ..."GET LOST!!"
Someone recommended TVShow Time. It greats great reviews and has a 4.5 rating on both Google Play and iTunes. I'm going to check it out. Maybe I'll see y'all there! http://techcrunch.com/2014/03/03/tvshow-time-lets-you-stream-all-your-fa...
