Great for NFL Sundays

I live in CT just inside the 100 mile geofence, and now I can get extra games when the Boston station is showing a different game from the Hartford station. Also can get the Pats game from a local channel if they’re on a cable network or streaming service.

Incredible. What a gift this is for Mass residents.

Incredibly useful when FiOS and Fox are bickering. Tested the Google TV and Apple TV apps. They work incredibly well. Thank you LocalTV+ devs.

Excellent app for TV

Easy to use, reliable, and with lots of channels from the Boston market. Works in a nice radius from the city. The developer is friendly and open about development and communication.

Great for those without antennae

Didn’t want to commit to an antenna and this app has been so great! I could just cast directly to tv/Mac. Have been able to watch World Cup matches on FOX and Telemundo. Only suggestions I have is to be able to add favorite channels so I don’t have to scroll down as much and to have a Mac app so I can just HDMI instead of using my phone all the time. Surprisingly the app isn’t heavy as phone doesn’t heat up at all during usage.

Awesome!

This app is the reason I was able to watch Drake Maye play. Plus captions! Love it. No notes.

This is awesome

If you live within 100 miles of Boston and want to watch local live tv channels for free this is the app for you. Can watch on iPhone or cast to your tv. These are the live local tv stations not the live news streams. Watching ‘Wheel as we speak..

Great for broadcast sports

This app is fantastic for watching broadcast tv and has been great for watching live sports. The app works, stream is good quality and easy to AirPlay to my tv. Highly recommended!

This app is amazing

I cant recommend this app enough. It’s super easy to use and the TV is amazing quality. I watch local news and sports AirPlayed onto my TV.

Perfect

I am so thankful for this app! I hope it lasts forever!!!

Excellent app, but missing a couple of things…

I love the app, but there’s three problems with it right now. The first is that there’s no Cloud DVR feature to record programming on any of the stations, which should be a must for cord-cutting viewers. The second is that, at this time, the app is not currently available in any other state in North America, which does seem fair to the rest of the country, who also struggle with cord-cutting. If us here in Massachusetts can use the app effectively for Over-The-Air TV viewing, then why not the rest of the U.S.? Third, right now, is that WCVB Channel 5 is stuck on an endless loop with the game show “25 Words Or Less”, so I currently cannot watch any live programming on the station. Please fix it!

I love LocalTv+

What can I say? This is one of the best free apps on the App Store. It allows me to get my local TV stations. I love LocalTv+ I give you all 100 stars🎆

Thank you

5 stars. Would be 100 stars if available on Roku

Great app. Just wish it was available on Roku. There's got to be a way to track our location on the Roku, no?

Great App

I just learned about this app from my friend. So Wonderful! I’ve been talking about wishing an app like this existed with my partner for so long. I am so glad this exists. I’ll be donating to this nonprofit and help keep it free and accessible for our community!

The best way to watch TV in Boston

This is the absolute best way to watch TV in Boston the earlier reviews about it not working were due to infrastructure upgrades to support an increased demand The amount of people using this app is super impressive. Also thanks to all the people @Boston Broadband. For spotlighting community resources.

Great app

I never give reviews for anything but this app is amazing.

Great product

With the lack of skinny bundle options and overpriced canle packages costing $80+ it’s refreshing to see someone provide a service that people actually wanted instead of bloated packages that are too expensive.

Reliability

Sometimes works and sometimes it doesn't

great when it works

unfortunately it has only worked half the time i have tried it.
the guide and channels won’t load even thought my connection is fine and my location is turned on

Amazing!

I appreciate this app so much. My antenna doesn’t always come in, but this app has solved that problem! I use it to watch local Boston news and Patriots games. Thank you to the developer who made this!
