## What is TV Antenna Pointer & Towers?

▶ Point your TV antenna the right way. TV Antenna Pointer lists the broadcast towers around you, sorted by distance, with the channels, network and direction for each one.

▶ Spin to the signal. Pick a tower or a whole cluster and the compass arrow turns you to the exact heading, with a nudge when you are lined up. Several channels on one tower farm show as one aim point.

▶ See it on the map. Your location, the towers and the bearing lines are drawn together so you can double-check the direction even where indoor metal throws the compass off.

▶ New to cutting the cord? After you aim, the app walks you through rescanning your TV so those over-the-air channels actually show up.

▶ Works offline from a built-in tower database, so you can check reception anywhere. No account needed.

Reception estimates are based on distance, tower power and your location; real results vary with terrain, buildings, antenna type and weather. Directions are a guide — final aiming is best confirmed by your TV's signal meter.

### 1/5 — How can they screw up a Compass?

*2026-08-17*

So I’m trying to use this and there’s just absolutely no way you can line up a TV antenna with this app it’s 49° off of what a real Compass says so basically it’s pointing in a whole different direction and I’m just really thankful I don’t have to use this stupid app to find my way home.

**Developer response:** Sorry about that. A ~49° error means the compass is reading the phone's raw magnetometer without a good calibration, which nearby metal, cases, or tilting the phone can throw off badly. Two quick things help right now: hold the phone flat and wave it in a figure-8 to recalibrate, and step away from metal/electronics. We're also reworking it to use the phone's built-in calibrated true-north heading so it lines up with a real compass. Thanks for flagging it.

## Frequently asked questions about TV Antenna Pointer & Towers

### How does TV Antenna Pointer help me aim my antenna?

TV Antenna Pointer displays nearby broadcast towers and provides a compass arrow that guides you to the exact heading for each tower. It even nudges you when you are perfectly aligned for optimal signal reception.

### Can I use TV Antenna Pointer without an internet connection?

Yes, TV Antenna Pointer works offline thanks to its built-in tower database. This allows you to check reception and aim your antenna from anywhere, even without a signal.

### What information does TV Antenna Pointer provide about broadcast towers?

For each broadcast tower, TV Antenna Pointer lists the channels it transmits, the network associated with those channels, and the direction you need to point your antenna. Towers with multiple channels are often grouped as a single aim point.

### Does TV Antenna Pointer assist with setting up channels after aiming?

Yes, after you aim your antenna using the app, it walks you through the process of rescanning your TV. This ensures that the over-the-air channels you've aimed for actually appear on your television.

### What devices does TV Antenna Pointer support?

### Does TV Antenna Pointer have ads?

### How accurate are the reception estimates provided by TV Antenna Pointer?

Reception estimates are based on distance, tower power, and your location. However, actual results can vary due to terrain, buildings, antenna type, and weather conditions. The app's directions are a guide, and final aiming is best confirmed by your TV's signal meter.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2.0 — 2026-08-22

The compass now corrects for magnetic declination automatically, so 'Aligned' means true north and matches each tower's real bearing. A new antenna advisor suggests the antenna type and aiming direction for your location, and you get clearer guidance when you're outside US tower coverage.

Thanks for the reviews and feedback!

### 1.1.5 — 2026-08-15

The app no longer asks for location while the opening screen is still up. Three system prompts used to stack there at once, which made the first launch feel stuck; the location request now waits until you reach the tower list. The exit confirmation is also plain again, with nothing else competing for the tap.

### 1.1.4 — 2026-08-06

Alerts now arrive properly on Android instead of landing silently, and the app no longer interrupts you in the middle of what you came to do.

### 1.1.2 — 2026-08-03

Performance improvements, bug fixes, and refinements for the latest iOS.

### 1.1.1 — 2026-08-01

Performance improvements, bug fixes, and refinements for the latest iOS.
