It's ok

Nice for Ceefax but struggles to fit all the info on to the page. If the scaling was sorted this would be a 4. Include a snapshot tool for a 5.

Awesome!

This app is great! Sure, you can look at texttv at svt.se but this app provides the exact texttv format! For a guy that grew up with 377, this is awesome! I also lived abroad for 8 years and maybe that's why im so excited about this app, but I love it! App is super fast as well. Thanks!!!!

Beware - Swedish Only

Somehow I missed this fact.

Nice interface though.
