### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-04-21*

All it does are s say no system data I tried another app and showed me where and how many signals is my area. Don’t waste your time with this one.

### 1/5 — No Antennas Found

*2022-11-19, version 1.0*

Downloaded the app, found my location, couldn’t see a single antenna in the app!  Am based in the UK but couldn’t find any antennas in other countries when zooming out.

Sorry folks but it’s about as much use as a handbrake on a canoe!

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2022-09-12*

### 1/5 — Did not work

*2025-07-09, version 1.0*

Just could get this app to work. No Data found message every time I tried to use it. Ended up deleting it.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2025-05-24, version 1.0*

Don’t bother absolutely useless couldn’t find a transmitter if you were sat on top of one

### 1/5 — Didn’t work

*2025-02-22*

Not only did this app not show towers but it also didn’t point the right direction. I know which was my nearest city is and it was showing 180* on the map

### 1/5 — It’s a no from me.

*2024-11-30, version 1.0*

Useless.

### 1/5 — Total ripoff

*2024-11-02, version 1.0*

Absolutely just doesn’t work in any way shape or form, I just got robbed by apple non refundable purchase.

### 1/5 — Can’t find Mt location, useless

*2024-10-13, version 1.0*

Don’t bother

### 1/5 — Either buggy or a virus

*2024-09-01*

It locked my iPhone up to a pixelated screen and was only able to power off. I would not recommend.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2024-07-31, version 1.0*

Installed but couldn't find a single antenna.

### 1/5 — Ribbish

*2024-01-26, version 1.0*

Rubbish!!

### 1/5 — Could not find my location

*2023-08-18, version 1.0*

Said it couldn’t read my location as data not in correct format.  Naturally I’d given permission

## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Knowing is better than guessing

*2024-11-16*

Nice and easy. Instantly fixed my “broken” antenna

### 5/5 — I love this app!

*2023-01-18*

I love this app so much because it makes me hate myself alot, i love hating myself, thanks so much!

### 4/5 — Custom Distance

*2025-01-03*

Your app only has 20, 30, and 50 miles. How about adding a field so we can enter a custom distance like “100”.

### 4/5 — Still room for improvement

*2023-07-22*

I just installed this app and I’m impressed with the accuracy and detailed information. There’s room for improvement however. I know for a fact that I can pick up another TV tower 37 miles up North which has 12 channels and frequently pick up at least two more TV towers 40 miles Northeast with a total of six channels. It would be great to have a compass heading since I use a digital TV antenna rotator which is accurate to within 2 degrees. Still, the detailed information on what sub-channels are available is very helpful - even has the channel logos for each sub-channel.
