Universal Binged - Let's you track shows, view episodes and casts. Updated Version 1.01

Hi All,

I just released my first pure Swift iOS app called Binged (3rd result on AppStore search currently).

link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/binged/id1120570590?ls=1&mt=8

This is my first ever iOS app, first time working on Xcode and Swift. I have Java & Web experience, no Obj-C background either.

I started around 4 months ago from scratch, reading blogs, watching videos, Youtube, StackOverFlow, Lynda.com, Stanford course on iTunesU. I still have a lot to learn. Working on this app was probably the most fun I've had in programming for quite awhile. Lots of learning, lots of re-writes, and some more learning. I had to get familiar with Swift syntax, CocoaTouch, pulling my hair out with auto-layouts and constraints and then StackViews. I probably re-did each view at least a dozen times. Worked with CoreData for local saves and then CloudKit for syncing and changes.

Version 1.0 functionalities:

• Subscribe to show
• Displays episode summaries and airdates
• Mark episodes you've watched
• Notifies you when an episode is about to air
• Lets you know how many episodes behind you are
• Ability to tweet or post to Facebook
• Night Theme
• Displays Casts of a show
• iCloud Sync
• And iPad Support!
  

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Please check out my app on the AppStore: 'Binged'
