Android app and web shows different screening dates

I just noticed that the Android app has been showing completely different screening dates than those shown in the web version, which are both signed in with my account so using my settings. We were discussing old TV shows and I was wanting to look up when a show was originally screened, in this case Babylon 5. The Android app shows the first season screening in 1995 with the pilot movie shown only a week before S1.E1. However the web version shows the first season screening in 1994 with the pilot movie in 1993! This has been asked before (see https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/why-are-the-dates-for-some-tv-shows-different-when-shown-on-the-web-vs-the-app/6538525558bb4c5e6dac9e49) but the local release dates are pretty irrelevant when wanting to know when the show was originally made and how old the actors were at the time etc. Can this be made an option in the settings and/or can the date be shown with a note, e.g. "Mon, Feb 22, 1993 (original)" and "14/10/1995 (NZ)"?
