I understand that to make money you need ads and I’m fine with that, but doing it at the cost of a good experience is not good sense, I am deleting the ad… I mean app and doubtless loads have already, cutting your nose of to spite your face here, shame. ### 2/5 — Increasingly hopeless and frustrating *2024-05-09, version 11.1* Could the developers please imagine themselves as a user, try the app, start again. ### 2/5 — Tv *2024-04-27, version 11.1* Never ever loads up properly. ### 1/5 — Latest update makes it completely useless - now deleted! *2024-04-27, version 11.1* Was once the best of such apps, although not perfect, and bugs never seemed to get fixed. However; each update has been worse than the last diverging further and further from any useful functionality - but the latest update is completely and utterly nuts - and disastrous! App is now completely useless! Now deleted! ### 1/5 — Massive Backwards step on updated version *2024-04-19, version 11.1* Last update was a massive backwards step the app is no longer useable at all, going to delete it and use freeview app instead as looks like the old version of tv guide ### 1/5 — Use to be good *2024-03-31, version 11.1* Use to work well and then they update it and make it unusable. Slow, buggy and then overload of adverts. Quicker to fire up Cefax now! ### 2/5 — Not working *2024-03-29, version 11.1* Find another ### 2/5 — Shame *2024-03-24, version 11.1* Was great, had good reviews of films etc. now it’s claggy and full of awkward ads. My go to no my just avoid. ### 1/5 — Broken! *2024-03-23, version 11.1* Told me to update, but then doesn’t work afterwards! Just hangs on the initial page. ### 1/5 — Used to be my goto app *2024-03-23, version 11.1* Now it’s complete junk. Used to be a good landscape app on iPad. Deleted. ### 1/5 — Utter garbage since v11 *2024-03-22, version 11.1* Latest update still hasn’t fixed ability to add programmes to calendars. Still utter garbage ### 1/5 — App now pointless *2024-03-22, version 11.1* What have you done to this app? It was a great app, because you could scroll through a channel for days and work out what the TV schedule was, kind of the point of this app! Their website is now easier to use than the App! Now if I want to work out what’s coming on a channel for the next few days, it’s almost impossible, this is really important when you’re planning sports schedules! What a shame, this new development team ruined it. ### 2/5 — Keeps asking to update *2024-03-22, version 11.0* This app was very good now it keeps asking me to update, which it will not do, tried uninstalling and installing again same thing happens! Useless now! ### 2/5 — Gone wrong again *2024-03-22, version 11.0* You get asked to update the app but it doesn’t work. Shame as it’s a useful app ### 2/5 — Update required! *2024-03-22, version 11.0* This latest update has not worked getting the message that I need to update- hopeless ### 1/5 — Update *2024-03-22, version 11.0* Asks to update but won’t let me don’t know why ### 2/5 — No longer works *2024-03-22, version 11.0* First the update meant I could no longer have the display in landscape on my iPad, which was annoying, now it demands that I update the app. I have the latest update so the app is now useless! Works well when it works but updates are a nightmare! ### 2/5 — Errrm *2024-03-22, version 11.0* Now you can’t even update it when it says it need an update. ### 1/5 — Awful *2024-03-21, version 11.0* I’ve had this app for years but they have ruined it. Doesn’t work at all. Hate the new portrait view and new format ### 1/5 — App update *2024-03-21, version 11.0* Not updating again! Nothing, blank app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ruined with pop up ads *2025-07-27, version 12.0* This app has always been a little bit buggy, but you can put up with it to some degree, but the latest update has added pop-up adverts that just ping up everywhere every few seconds. Utterly annoying and utterly pointless because it just makes people not want to use your app again!!! The most moronic app developers on planet Earth, how to destroy your app and user experience in one go ### 1/5 — Pop up ads. *2025-07-25, version 12.0* Pop up ads make it too annoying to use. ### 1/5 — Ruined with pop up apps *2025-06-11, version 12.0* This app has always been a little bit buggy, but you can put up with it to some degree, but the latest update has added pop-up adverts that just ping up everywhere every few seconds. Utterly annoying and utterly pointless because it just makes people not want to use your app again!!! ### 1/5 — Pop up Ads block the screen *2025-03-15, version 12.0* Why why why?? With the popups I can’t see what’s on the screen making this useless and pointless. ### 1/5 — How bad can things get? *2024-12-22, version 12.0* Full of advertisement windows that can’t be gotten rid of. This used to be such a good TV guide. ### 1/5 — Infuriating *2024-11-16, version 12.0* So many pop up adds it’s unusable ### 1/5 — Lacking Features *2024-10-26, version 12.0* Wasn't for me. There doesn't seem to be features to save your favourite channels, or to be able to sort by films that are on live TV that night. I haven't the time to be searching through tons of listings. TV24 has the above features, but is buggy, unfortunately. My search for a replacement continues. ### 1/5 — Used to be good now full of Ads *2024-07-22, version 11.1* Used to be nice to use but now just full of pop up unskippable video Ads. Uninstalled ### 1/5 — Adverts make this app unusable *2024-07-07, version 11.1* Every time you touch the screen another ad pops up ### 1/5 — Pointless App !!! Not Fit for Purpose !! *2024-04-28, version 11.1* You open the app to see what programs are on and an advert is covering a large part of the screen and cannot be moved, so what is the point of this app if it does not display what tv programs are being screen for you to choose from. Need to find another tv guide which actually does what it says as this one fails completely. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A great way to find out what’s on TV *2021-01-24* Great time here now we have TV on her phone is in on her tablets I’ve only just downloaded this app but have decided to go for a years subscription because it looks pretty good and I’m happy with it and I’m always wanting to know what’s on TV and with this app you can do that and it’s got an absolute load ofDifferent channels ### 5/5 — What has happened to this app!! *2020-10-03* I’ve been using this app for years and now it won’t load give information only has adverts, please restore this!! I have looked at others but prefer this app when it works **Developer response:** Hi CjChiv, sorry to hear you've been struggling with our app. We have recently implemented fixes to a number of bugs relating to the release of iOS14 and hope this solves your problems. ### 5/5 — Can’t move channels. *2018-11-30* Used to be the best TV guide. Still has lots of advantages over other guides like look back a week, more detailed program guide, etc. Every time I move channels, they jump back to the set menu. Been like this for weeks with lots of non descriptive useless channels cluttering up the top of the channel list. ### 5/5 — Much better since the update! *2018-01-24* Changed from 1 star to 5 since the update. Much more improved! However you do seem to have 2 apps in the store which is confusing. The other still worked but has now been updated today and no longer does! ### 5/5 — Very disappointed in the new format *2017-11-12* I have been using this App for quite a time now unfortunately the new format is difficult to use. I tried to find the time for the start of a film but I couldn't locate it. It was far easier under the old format. ### 5/5 — Canadian as you can get. Brandon, MB *2014-01-28, version 5.0.1* I found Westman cable in Brandon, Manitoba, so they seem to have fixed any Canuck issues, eh. ### 5/5 — Please make a free Australian app! *2012-06-05, version 2.3.2* PLEASE!!! ### 3/5 — Access to app *2024-03-21, version 11.0* This app is open but it is requesting update, however it will not allow, Help please. ### 3/5 — Not working again *2024-03-21, version 11.0* First it works, then it doesn’t, then it does. The only reason I keep bothering is it tells me if a profits a repeat, otherwise there are many good apps around which actually work all the time ### 3/5 — HIT AND MISS *2021-06-13* IMDB seems to block at least half of the listed film details to stop viewers getting free full information on films. Plus the general listings often are blank due to sketchy connections, at least in central London. Plus tapping on a programs listing for more information often dumps you off the whole site. So I’d give this app a bit more than a 50% rating. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
