If you want current news, you are directed to google. Lots of tabs to click on that lead to blank pages. Google yourself and spend your collars on something that has merit. ### 5/5 — Has it All!! *2010-05-22* This app has everything you need to stay current with all your shows. It gives you every statistic you can imagine. Great app!!!! ## Frequently asked questions about Reality TV Sidekick (Universal) ### What reality shows does Reality TV Sidekick cover?
