### 4/5 — Excellent except ………

*2026-09-09, version 4.9.2*

This app is excellent but it’s time they added the Freely channel numbers

### 4/5 — Latest version broken?

*2026-09-04, version 4.9.2*

I’ve been using this app very happily for several years. Recently updated to v4.9.2 under iOS 26.6.
It hangs on the find location screen, using automatic find using location, or by entering postcode.
Would appreciate a fix or workaround

### 2/5 — Review

*2026-08-22, version 4.9.2*

The previous format was more friendly. I can’t see what I want to see now, in a quick easy guide and for days ahead. May look elsewhere for a better app now.

### 3/5 — Major Flaw

*2026-08-01, version 4.9.2*

Not clear if new or a repeat so very annoying. Please fix this as it’s a pain to face to look it up on Google!

### 2/5 — Informative but …

*2026-07-10, version 4.9.2*

App gives a quick view of what’s on. However, it has taken over 20 attempts to add my location but once done it no longer lists programs on bbc1 and itv 1.  To solve this glitch I changed my location to London, all works but the list shows many channels I cannot get.

### 3/5 — Channel 5

*2026-06-29, version 4.9.2*

Shows as Kent garden but is Eggheads 
Why

### 5/5 — A very good App

*2026-06-28, version 4.9.2*

So well thought out this app, I really like it. Why cant all tv guides, i.e. those on the TV work like this. Top marks.

### 5/5 — No complaints

*2026-06-19, version 4.9.2*

Has made my life easier, thank you Freeview app. 10/10

### 4/5 — Thoughts

*2026-06-18, version 4.9.2*

Would be great to have some iOS widget options, including for reminders so you can access your reminders in a widget on your home screen

Also, when looking at the TV Guide, it can sometimes be difficult to identify a new program/episode to a repeat.

### 5/5 — Always watch in morning before work.

*2026-06-18, version 4.9.2*

Always a program to see when i can’t remember an old programs name .

### 5/5 — Me

*2026-06-17, version 4.9.2*

It’s nice

### 5/5 — Freeeveiw

*2026-06-15, version 4.9.2*

AOK

### 5/5 — Good but

*2026-06-10, version 4.9.2*

I use the app for planning what I’d like to watch. It’s great for that but I really wish I could set series reminders so that I can get notifications about each episode instead of having to set a reminder for each individual episode. Other than that it’s a great app for use as a guide and to set reminders about what to watch. You can change the guide from vertical to horizontal which is helpful

### 5/5 — Brilliant app

*2026-06-06, version 4.9.2*

This app is great for finding out what is on, so easy to use and you can get reminders of future programs!

### 5/5 — Easyview

*2026-06-01, version 4.9.2*

Simple and easy to use.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-07-23, version 4.9.2*

I have used freeview on my ipad for years, now I find it will not detect my region, either automatically or using a postcode. No use at all.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2026-07-18, version 4.9.2*

It is pointless listing shows that are not available to be viewed, a complete wind up when the only show or film worth watching is not available to watch as the Chanel does not work like together tv Chanel 83. Also wrong programme listed or really bad description sometimes the description is for another programme. I could go on and on listing the faults with this app. Positive reviews must be by Ai or someone that works there.

### 1/5 — not reliable

*2026-07-09, version 4.9.2*

shows the wrong channels for programs instead of bb2 it should be bb1

### 1/5 — Free view app not working.

*2026-06-16, version 4.9.2*

16th June 2026 the app won’t open on my iPad.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-04-15, version 4.9.2*

App just hangs when it demands location, both on postcode or location service. Waste of time, not usable.

### 1/5 — App crashes

*2026-04-10, version 4.9.2*

Just downloaded app onto iPhone and it just crashes, useless

### 1/5 — Quits on opening

*2026-03-27, version 4.9.2*

Shame. iPad Pro M5

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work for iPhone 16

*2026-03-18, version 4.9.2*

Doesn’t work for iPhone 16

### 1/5 — Delete this waste of space!

*2026-02-18, version 4.9.2*

Crashes on launch utter tripe!

### 1/5 — Why?

*2026-02-01, version 4.9.2*

What is the point of downloading Freeview to watch one specific thing, only to find you can’t actually watch what you wanted too. TLC is not on any of the apps suggested within the app itself. If I had the other app I wouldnt need Freeview. I dont own a Tv with freeview capabilities which is why I downloaded the app and its still not working.
