  • Good in parts

    This app has some good points, mainly that it gives lots of detail regarding episode numbers & titles etc, but there are many mistakes, (which may be the fault of the channels) plus once you go past midnight it all falls apart - repeat shows have the time they were on first, but under a different time band up top, and often the shows listed aren’t on at all. I appreciate that there is an incredible amount of detail in such an app but it is annoying that you can’t plan ahead with any confidence.

  • Ok, but....

    This app is not bad and I understand the need for ads. The annoying part however is they have extremely loud ads that you don’t know are loud until they have started so if you’re with other people, it can be very embarrassing. Ads with sound should not be allowed on an app where the app itself has no noise. Also, it’s really annoying that you can’t flow through from one day to the next and have to physically change the day. It should be like the EPG function on TVs. You can’t even check the same time every day, it just takes you to just after midnight on each day so you have to scroll all the way through to the time you’re looking for. Lots of room for improvement.

  • Does the job

    I didn’t use to be a fan of this app due to the amount of advertising in it. However, it works really well once you get past the initial pop up ad. The problem is really the fault of the television companies that insist on not making their program guides free to access. Whilst they continue to claim copyright on just the ability to list what they put on tv - program guides are going to have to pay.

    I’ve been using the free version for years now & I don’t have any issues that annoy me. Yes there’s ads that pop up but it’s easy & quick to delete them. Simple to operate, shows favourites when they’re on & previews as well as if it’s a repeat. Only issue I have is notifications don’t pop up if I’m using my device any more... could be device updates changed something but I can’t find what 🤷‍♀️. Not that important... I really like the app ✅

  • Add covers screen and can't be closed.

    I have been using this app for quite a few months, and have found it useful. The advertisement that pops up and blocks the screen every time I open the app is annoying, but it can usually be closed easily.
    I am using an ancient iPad 4. The last few days, when I open the app, an advertisement from Chemist Warehouse opens up, but it does not fully load, and several panels in the advertisement, for "Bubs Baby Formula" are blacked out.
    As the advertisement does not fully load, there is no way to close it as there is no "Close" button. This makes this app totally unusable on my ipad 4, as I cannot close the advertisement, so I can use this app.

    Like it but don’t love it. Don’t think the $7.99 option was available when I signed up - feel cheated. Seems to have to pay for each device even though they are all on same Apple ID.
    Hate when I want to look ahead have to swipe from midnight to evening hours. Maybe you could start from midday and the unusual person who wants to see what’s on before midday could scroll back. Would appreciate a response.

  • Won’t Find Better

    After months of struggling to find a decent TV Guide app that works properly, I’ve finally found this one and I love it. It provides everything you could possibly need and more in a TV Guide app. I’ve got no need to look any further. I was even happy to pay the extra to have the ads removed and it’s so worth it! Now it’s perfect and I’m sticking with this app! I thoroughly recommend you try it. I doubt you’ll be disappointed.

  • Very useful app

    This app helps me to plan my TV watching/recording for the coming week. I find it to be accurate and easy to use. The hardest part (which is not related to the app) is keeping up with the changes to TV station names and wide array of stations available, but this app is good at having the range of stations available for selection. I greatly appreciate the automatic colour coding of movies in the Guide and the ability to click on the movie to learn a bit about it, in the same way you can click on any show in the Guide for a synopsis and advice on whether it is a repeat or a new episode. The user can also search for shows to make as favourites, which are then displayed in the Guide in a blue colour. This is a great feature, but it could be even better if the user had an option to request that the blue colour did not apply whenever the episodes were repeats.

  • Function to search movies only?

    Hello. Your app is by far the best TV guide app since OzTV. Thank you! Is there a way you could enable the user to only search for a list of movies airing that week? OzTV had a feature like this and it was great for film buffs. You could find movies / documentaries you’d been meaning to watch, as well as discover ones you’d never heard of but would like to watch. I’m not sure if this is something you could implement, but it would be great if you could. Thanks again, and keep up the good work. You are onto a winner!

    Hi, thanks for your awesome review 🙏🙏🙏 we are planning to introduce filters to search such as categories. In the meantime you can go the the Explore tab, on the bottom of that screen tap on Movies, it is one of the categories, it shows a list of all upcoming movies in the guide.
  • Great App value plus.

    I had literally tried every guide for free to air TV available and found this app to be best by far. User friendly, let’s you list channels in any order to suit you, shows channel numbers not just logos as some apps, lets you mark your fave genres in different colours, highlight your regular shows as favourites which then also shows you upcoming episodes, accurate program timings, every program has links to google, wiki etc, always accurate info, lets you set in-app reminders as well as calendar reminders, even the long range programming is spot on. For the price of two TV Weeks, which is far less accurate, you get real value for your bucks. Developer is always open to requests and suggestions and actually responds to emails in a timely manner. I have and will continue to recommend this app to all and sundry. Keep up the great work guys.
