### 5/5 — TV Guide Australia

*2026-08-01, version 4.92*

This app rocks, I think it’s the only one worth having ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 3/5 — Ads placement awful

*2026-07-28, version 4.92*

Gigantic ads that take up over half the screen. Terrible.

### 3/5 — Popup ads

*2026-07-24, version 4.91*

These are next to impossible to delete. Tiny little x up in the top right corner 
I make a note of the ads which deliberately make it hard to get past their ad and NEVER buy their products

### 3/5 — Ads Coming Up

*2026-07-07, version 4.91*

This has always been my favourite TV app. I’ve used it for years, and I’ve paid for a lifetime subscription. In spite of this, I’m now getting ads.

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2026-07-05, version 4.91*

Too many ads

### 4/5 — Good guide!

*2026-07-03, version 4.91*

Colours make AusTv so easy to read. Great App.

### 1/5 — Was a great app

*2026-06-28, version 4.90*

This was the best TV guide going around, until the latest update, now you can’t see anything without constantly scrolling over ads. I’ll be looking elsewhere.

### 1/5 — Ads

*2026-06-27, version 4.90*

I bought/paid for this app many years ago and now I am getting ads. GOODBYE!

### 1/5 — Not happy

*2026-06-19, version 4.90*

I've paid for a subscription. Why am I seeing adds.

### 3/5 — Greedy

*2026-06-18, version 4.90*

This has always been my favourite TV app. I’ve used it for years, and I’ve paid for a lifetime subscription. In spite of this, I’m now getting ads. 
Like a lot of other app authors, you have become greedy, in spite of customer loyalty. I would give 0 stars if I could. 
Time to look for another TV app.
