Ads are horrible. *2026-08-23, version 6.21.2* This app usually works as expected. However, the ads are very much spam-like and most often offensive and misgendering. Also, like other sites, it you flag them, they show up more often rather than going away. ### 2/5 — Description is for another show *2026-07-30, version 6.21.2* Everyday another flub. Channel listings change & TV Guide doesn’t keep up. ### 3/5 — It’s OK *2026-07-12, version 6.21.2* Price is free. If you live between 2 broadcast markets you can only choose 1 and add no other channels. Show descriptions are lacking. But the price is right. ### 3/5 — iTunes *2026-06-21, version 6.21.2* Okay at best. ### 2/5 — Suxxxxx *2026-06-11, version 6.21.2* This app just flat out suuxxxx They don’t put a 1/3 of the local channels in their LIST smh ### 3/5 — Hello___ *2026-06-08, version 6.21.2* I like tv guide. Thank you. Look forward to the next upgrade! ### 1/5 — No more daily updates / favorites is a joke *2026-06-04, version 6.21.2* This app used to be mostly OK and I still use it but I do wonder why so many tech companies call it an "upgrade" when they fix features that weren't broken and ignore glaring programming blunders. 1) The app used to refresh daily so that I could see what's playing today. Lately, listings show what aired yesterday. Duh. Now it's a really bizarre ordeal to manually weed through a bunch of useless pages to finally coerce the app to display what's on today, which is the only day any of us can ever watch broadcast / antennae TV. 2) Would be nice to isolate favorite channels and hide the dozens and dozens of channels I either don't want to watch or just cannot access at this time and place. Example? The app demands (presets) Fox to be a favorite. The ONLY favorite. I do not watch Fox by choice. My choice. To add to the app's disfunction? I simply cannot pick up Fox with my antennae. Couldn't watch if I wanted to so it is of no value to me to know what Fox is driveling today. Or yesterday. And I cannot remove Fox from my favorites list. And I cannot add actual favorites. Conclusion? This app's favorites list is just a programming joke. TV Guide, I sure do miss your weekly paper magazine. You knew how to get that right. ### 1/5 — Awful App *2026-06-03, version 6.21.2* I wish I could find a TV Guide app that was accurate more than half the time, and provided descriptions of programs. ### 1/5 — Just terrible. *2026-05-29, version 6.21.2* I want the old version back! Had SO much more info n selections! Gave what number in a series was playing n other channels it may be playing on n other times it would be replayed etc etc etc. Does not always load in a timely manner either. I don’t have time to count out all the missing features. Also goes not switch to horizontal view so you can see what’s coming up on various channels at various times. I wish I had another alternative to switch to! One star is one too many to rate this ‘improvement?’ . ### 1/5 — Antenna listings? *2026-05-25, version 6.21.2* It was good til you took away antenna listings. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-08-13, version 6.21.2* Wrong listings! App doesn’t fill in all time slots! Worthless!!! ### 1/5 — Seems like a waste of space *2026-08-10, version 6.21.2* I thought I could create my own schedule. Pick the shows I like, then have a schedule so I would know what is playing on the nights I’m watching. Not so, it’s just a lust of shows that I like. ### 1/5 — Tv shows *2026-08-07, version 6.21.2* You have no way to search for shows ### 1/5 — No control *2026-08-02, version 6.21.2* TV guide: what channels and services do you have? Me: here you go TV guide: here are recommendations based on channels and services you don’t have. ### 1/5 — Houston abc is missing *2026-07-29, version 6.21.2* Local broadcast 13.1 is ABC but it’s always missing from my listing. Hey, 13.2 is there, a useless channel. Why not 13.1? I feedback a bug to the app months ago but it never got fixed. No choice but to give 1 star. ### 1/5 — Useless in Canada *2026-07-17, version 6.21.2* Read some past reviews thought this TV Guide app would include Canadian streaming platforms, but didn’t see them. NO Crave, NO Disney+, NO CBC Gem etc. Naturally UNINSTALLED it. ### 1/5 — Not easy to use *2026-07-12, version 6.21.2* I can’t get back to the tv listings. Stuck in a Colombo page🥺 ### 1/5 — Too dark *2026-07-07, version 6.21.2* Should be white background with black lettering. Black background is too dark. ### 1/5 — Can’t read the channel names/logos *2026-07-04, version 6.21.2* Gotta love how the listings have a dark background and then they use dark colors for the channel names and logos so you can’t read them. Thus doesn’t really matter though since the channel numbers don’t align with my provider. Obviously the developers don’t use this app, so there must be a better one out there. Oh wait! There is! My providers app! Update: Now the Hallmark channel displays the logo “PBS Kids”. Gotta love how the app developers take something that was good and working and then f* it up. ### 1/5 — Primary stations are not listed *2026-07-01, version 6.21.2* Why do I only see .2 or .3 etc for each stations but not .1? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Beautiful design *2026-08-28, version 6.21.2* This app tile looks good beside my Spectrum app on my phone. The interface and design of the channel guide is pure luxury. I like how I put in my tv service and it helps me to surf what’s coming on this evening at night. Highly rec! ### 5/5 — CBS 60 Minutes *2026-08-23, version 6.21.2* Still worth watching and relevant after all these years. ### 5/5 — Third Party Properties; Social Media Sites *2026-08-22, version 6.21.2* Registration and Access Controls ### 5/5 — GREAT *2026-08-20, version 6.21.2* BETTER. then any paper TV’ Guide for me ### 5/5 — Love the tv guide app on my iPhone. *2026-07-31, version 6.21.2* Love the tv app on my iPhone. ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2026-07-19, version 6.21.2* I use this mobile app multiple times daily! It is handy, super easy to use and I never worry about losing the remote!!! ### 5/5 — Love this app *2026-07-16, version 6.21.2* GREAT guide for your viewing happiness. ### 5/5 — Love it❣️ *2026-07-11, version 6.21.2* I love TV Guide. It helps me find the programs I like to watch. ### 5/5 — The secret world of Alex Mack *2026-07-01, version 6.21.2* The show needs to come back on Nickelodeon ### 5/5 — Saleem *2026-06-25, version 6.21.2* Minions 2015 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
