  • Nice but Not Perfect and Not Responsive

    I have written several times to tech support about a channel missing in the guide that are in the Houston TX market but are not listed:
    Channel 61.5 PosiTV
    Unfortunately, no response or action has been taken in the serval weeks since contacting vendor through portal in the app.

    I do like the guide, info on movies, and episodes, often you can tap on show for details. You can create favorites and get alerts 15 minutes before program. Unfortunately you are not able to adjust the lead time on alerts . All to often when my mail updates I have missed programs.
  • Missing some subchannels

    Overall, the app works well, but it is missing some subchannels. For example, WGVT has Bounce TV on 26.4, but it’s not available in the app.
  • Don’t download. You’ll be wasting precious resources.

    What does this app and Antarctica have in common? It’s always freezing. Not to mention the programming lists and schedules are not accurate. It lists a program and it’s totally something different on the channels. You may as well just channel surf every 30 minutes to see what’s on. Total waste of time and space.
  • Great when it doesn’t freeze

    I have this app on an iPad. It’s laid out in manner that’s easy to read. I can fine tune it for the channels that I’m interested in. I can read the content for each show. I can mark my favorites so I’m alerted when they are scheduled. But what’s driving me crazy is that I cannot slide the screen sideways to view the entire selection for that range request. I have tried moving to favorites or channels and back again, and sometimes this works. But like today, sometimes it Doesn’t. So I know what’s coming on at 6pm ( when I Don’t watch tv) but I have no clue what’s coming on later in the evening when I normally view the idiot box. 🙁 I have even deleted this app and reinstalled in an effort to correct this. That wasn’t a fix. I have deleted this app in frustration and searched for another app but couldn’t find anything else that I liked as well. So here I am with my favorite tv app that may or may not show me if anything worthwhile is lighting up the screen tonight. Life is so much more than a tv box but isn’t it nice when the small things can bring us joy?!
  • Where’s the helpdesk?

    No instructions with the email describing all the new features. Email directs to Login! Then what? No Q&A tab. No support tab. No nothing. Tried drag and drop . Nope.
  • Very good app.

    Have used for a year and no problems until today. Now we cannot get it to open. Scrolls a while then says try again later. Trust this will be fixed.
  • Quit working

    I’ve been using app on ipad for about a year, but today it will not load. I created an account with password today and it will not let me log in or set up anything.
  • Locks up

    Scrolling left and right locks up. Sometimes it seems to be associated with drilling down for more information. This appears to be unresolved until you reboot. Other than that, it seems to work. Setup requires registration, which is also annoying.
  • Really awful

    It’s so slow and buggy that it’s easier to just look up listings on the web page via safari. Doesn’t list episode info, won’t let you scroll over to the next hour. Really terrible functionality.
  • Love this app, but

    But when I try to go to the evening time period it starts at 8:30 and won’t let me scroll right and left. Otherwise this app would get 5 stars.
