  • One Year đź’š

    A screenshot of Marathon for web with the caption "Welcome to the web."

    One year ago today, we launched Marathon to the world on iOS! In the year since, we've expanded to Android and seen over 7,000 new users join us for their television watching journey. Today, we're excited to deliver on folks' biggest request: Marathon for web. đź’š

    You can now access Marathon on your biggest screen and have it sync to your phone. No matter where you're watching TV or who you're discussing with, you'll always have Marathon available.

    I wanted to take this time to thank everyone who has joined us along for this journey. One year is a long time, and we couldn't do it without your support. We read every piece of feedback you send in and are excited to deliver on the things you want. Expanding to web is just the first step — we've got big plans in store!

    We are a small team of one (hello! đź‘‹) building Marathon in the after hours. If you'd like to support us, please donate to our Tip Jar or contact me at [email protected] for a larger investment.

    Until the next time, keep calm and Marathon on!

  • Polishing Week

    A search bar that reads "Search series", with a button to sort and three filters: Watching, Paused, and Stopped.

    Every so often, we like to spend some time polishing up the app. With so many features added so frequently, there's always the chance of "papercuts" making their way in. The goal of this update is to fix some of these little issues to make an overall better experience for you.

  • Feedback Week 1

    A list of three options: pause watching, stop watching, and remove series. The stop watching option is highlighted, as it is the star feature of this feedback week.

    Marathon prides itself on providing transparency into our process and listening to user feedback (we have a form built right into our app!). This week, we decided to take a pause on the bigger features we're working on to focus solely on implementing user feedback. Consider it our first of many Feedback Weeks!

  • We Formed a Company

    The new Marathon logo.

    Marathon TV, Inc. is a brand new startup founded by Josh Pensky. Our mission is to foster a community of television enthusiasts and help folks tell their story through this new Golden Age of Television.

    Why Now?

  • See the Future

    A tablist with the Upcoming option selected. Below are the dates March 7 and March 14, with a list of episodes that release on those respective dates.

    Marathon has always been about two things: watching the latest TV and sharing that with friends. But therein lies the question: how can you watch the latest TV if you don't know when things are premiering?

    One of the most highly requested features has just made it to the app: Upcoming. We've split the Up Next screen into two tabs:

    • Watching. Track your current progress through the series you're watching (or paused).

    • Upcoming. Track all upcoming episodes of the series you're watching (or paused), including premieres and those batch drops we love to binge.

    With this new addition, the ever-expanding world of TV is at your fingertips.

    Improvements & Fixes

  • Search Gets an Update

    The search logo with a green glow.

    For the OG users of Marathon 1.0, you may remember a time when search didn't happen in a pop-up screen. When we made the switch in 2.0, we thought it would help separate the search experience from the rest of the app.

    However, we heard some user feedback that it may feel too separate, making the tabs at the bottom of the screen inaccessible. In this latest update, we've decided to re-merge search with the rest of the app. As always, feel free to leave us feedback in-app to let us know what you think!
