Just Awful
EDIT: TV Guide fixed my complaint about not being able to search by actor, which fixed most of my issues with the updated app. But, as of December 2024 the newest edition of the app took that feature away again. I don’t understand…am I the only one who likes to browse specific actors for their films? It is literally the only reason I use this app.
Original post: I echo most recent reviews by questioning why TV Guide had to change their perfectly good app. I specifically used this app to search for upcoming listings BY ACTOR. I do film research and it was so convenient for me to search by names to see what films/TV might be airing for a specific performer vs. having to search every single one of their films. Well, this update took that function away. Now, you can only search by title. I don’t understand why you would eliminate that ability...seems like a giant step backward for an app to actually do less now than it did for years before! I have delayed deleting the app since I was hoping perhaps TV Guide might update it to bring back the “Search By Actor Name” function or listen to the overwhelming amount of recent reviews that HATE the update and just go back to the perfectly fine app they had a few months ago. Alas, nothing has changed on either front so I guess I will just uninstall it...it now serves no purpose and is merely taking up space on my phone.

Response from developer
We appreciate your feedback and apologize that you're not able to search by actor. Our team is currently working on implementing several features, one being an improved search function. While this isn't currently accessible, we hope that you'll check back for one of our next updates and give it a try. Thank you.
Weekly Shows
Need information on upcoming season shows—Criminal Intent; Blue Bloods; SVU; Survivor, I don’t watch or subscribe to Netflix, so I’m only interested in the weekly series that start at 8:00 pm at night.
Not old fashioned
This is a so very poor TV program provider. Some similar to original TV Guide is a thousand times better.
“TV Listings and Guide Plus” will show you how to get it right. Just toooo bad it is not available on Apple. So I’ll just keeep the Samsung phone for that app. I know you will not change but that is just too bad for me.

Very complicated to setup
This app is very complicated to set up for your favourite channels and shows. They need a condensed version of this app and less confusing for older people to set up
Disappointing
Still no Australia!
Can’t Sign In
App stop working. Was directed to delete app and reload which I did. Now trying to log in with Apple and e-mail and password and nothing works. Message says they sent an email that will sign me in. Email is never delivered. It says my password is incorrect which it isn’t. I then tried to change password and again they said I have an email to reset password. Again no email. I guess I have to be done with this app which I have enjoyed using. Never any problems before. Not much use to me now if I can’t log in. Weird!
Well I got on finally. Lasted one day and then became unusable again. I deleted the app and then reloaded. Again I can’t log in. Tried to sign in with APPLE. Message says click on email they just sent. No email. Tried logging in with email and password. Message said wrong password. Same password I used yesterday. Tried to change password. Again message to click on email they just sent. No email sent!
After many years of using the app and happy with it, it is now a joke and I am not wasting anymore time with it. I’m done. Very sad. “If it ain’t broke let’s break it”. Doesn’t deserve one star.

Listings really screwed up the past couple of days and I can’t log in for support
My TV Guide iPhone and iPad apps worked okay until a couple days ago. Now listings are about 7 hours off - if it is noon, the listings show the current time as 7 pm. But the listings for most channels are incorrect for both noon and 7 pm. Some channels are off by other time amounts. Many listings are completely blank. I cannot log on for customer support - it says my password is wrong and it won’t let me change my password. I deleted the app and reinstalled it but it didn’t fix anything. I have the latest iOS updates. I’ve used the TV Guide app several years and it normally works fine but it seems to really get screwed up once or twice a year. Rating 0-1 stars for this major glitch.
UPDATE - the app was fixed about a day after I wrote the above review.
My rating is back up to 4 stars for now. One star off for the occasional major malfunctions once or twice a year.
