ARD/ZDF produce 100+ Krimi episodes a year across dozens of series and there is no unified tracking layer for the German market, even as Großstadtrevier approaches its 36th season.
Tatort alone is a major cultural fixture with dedicated ARD Mediathek 'echte Krimifans' landing pages, plus niche community sites like tatort-fans.de and tatortheute.de exist; Großstadtrevier shows 200+ monthly searches, indicating a loyal but narrow niche.Polizeiruf 110 | Aktuelle Folgen & Highlights - ARD Mediathek ↗Tatort und Polizeiruf 110 nach Ausstrahlungsdatum ↗
Only a single-show 'Tatort Zuschauer' Android app exists; main alternatives are general websites (fernsehserien.de, tatort-fans.de) or non-German tools (Trakt, TV Time — shutting down 7/2026); no unified ARD/ZDF Krimi companion app with cross-references.Tatort Zuschauer Android App ↗Best TV Show Tracking Apps 2026 — TV Time shutting down July 2026 ↗
ARD/ZDF content is free public-broadcaster fare, German users are price-sensitive, and competing trackers (Trakt, Simkl) struggle to convert free users to paid tiers; no clear evidence of willingness to pay for a niche Krimi companion.Best Trakt.tv Alternatives ↗Krimireihen - ARD Mediathek (free) ↗
Tatort has run since 1970 and Großstadtrevier is approaching its 36th season; ARD/ZDF publicly fund 100+ Krimi episodes/year, making the content supply essentially permanent.fernsehserien.de Episodenführer ↗Krimi - ZDFmediathek ↗
Episode metadata is freely available via fernsehserien.de and public broadcaster sites, and general TV-tracking app patterns (calendar, watch queue, notifications) are well-understood and buildable with standard stacks.fernsehserien.de ↗TV Episode Calendar features ↗
