Has never worked
Have attempted to use this app in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania. It has never identified the location of a single tower.
Crashes during calibration, uses wrong location
This looked promising, unfortunately I wasn’t able to use it as intended as I was unable to fully launch it without crashing.
On first launch, it brings up the compass calibration — before getting the full circle filled in it crashed — multiple times.
I eventually got it to launch, but it decided I was somewhere in Connecticut when I was actually in Boston.
I gave 2 stars because it did gave a list of TV stations for Boston, but that’s about it.
iPhone 6, iOS 11.4 — feel free to contact me for crash logs as the app shows promise and I am a developer.

Works well thumbs up!
Id like to say this app works well and is very easy to use and comes with good documentation to explain to you how to use it. Only disadvantage I can think of is that i just bought a 150 mile digital antenna and im not sure where the towers are outside of the 70 mile range lol. Perhaps an update for 150 mile range? Or to allow pointing of any tower on map or loading other towers on map outside range? Thanks again!

Perfect!
I have had problems getting a strong signal for 2 of the TV stations in my area. I used this to properly align the antenna. Now I get a beautiful stable signal for every channel.
I couldn’t be happier!

Response from developer
We love to hear that you had a great experience with our app. Please tell all your friends to help them get more channels with their antenna.
OTA WATCHER
Is this app only for American towers because the only tower the app picks up is KVOS. It does not pick up ANY CANADIAN TOWERS and I live closer to the Canadian towers than KVOS Washington.
NOT Working Without GPS Location
This app does NOT work if you don't allow it to access your GPS location.
I do not like having Location Services turned ON and prefer to enter my location manually, but this app does NOT allow you to enter an address. Please try to add this feature. Thank you.

Compass needs to be bigger to see
The compass needs to be larger or the numeric number of which direction you are pointing at needs to be displayed.
Useless
Doesn’t show any antenna. And when it does point to a suggested direction. It opposite to those around me on other houses
Total garbage
Absolute rubbish - North is in a different location every time I open the app.
Can’t rely on that to position an aerial 30 foot up a pole!!!!

Only partially useful
There are several issues that make this app only partially useful.
Although the towers icons are oriented in the correct direction, the overlay map is in the totally wrong direction and is therefore useless. The map will reorient and freeze when the phone is rotated. It is never in the correct orientation.
The beam function points to a group of towers 70 miles away, not to the 5 towers in receiving range in the opposite direction.
The only way this app is useful is to manually rotate (point) the phone to the direction of the towers you wish to receive.
The beam and map displays are useless.
