Even though mu subscription is up to date every time a free trial is offered I am unable to download the new magazine. Repeatedly following the steps set out in the help section I am still unable to asset the magazine. Seems I will have to cancel. ### 3/5 — Access to the App *2022-07-25* Every week I have problems downloading the TV Times magazine. Please fix the problem. I continue paying for this weekly mag but in the last few weeks it’s gone pear-shaped. You have proved you are incapable of fixing this so I have told you to cancel my subscription. To reiterate - I’m paying for something and have been doing so for months but have been unable to download it do to a problem of your making. So you owe me about 6 months of payments ### 3/5 — Has it gone wrong? *2016-12-25* Worked fine in November. Next time I used it was 25th Dec and I could not get it to move forward without closing it down. There must be a better way. ### 2/5 — Keep getting locked out *2016-04-10, version 2.3* Poor app as even though I can sign in it has stopped letting me download. Just purchase or take out a subscription. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2015-06-12, version 2.3* Great magazine ### 5/5 — Great magazine. *2015-05-14, version 2.3* Great magazine. ### 5/5 — T.V. Times *2015-01-17, version 2.2* Terrible app. Won't download latest edition despite having an up to date subscription. Stuck in a loop asking me to give this app a rating. Would like my subscription refunded please ### 5/5 — Handy to Have *2014-08-17, version 2.0* Excellent to have at your fingertips, exactly the same as the paper version, although cant circle my favourite shows to watch LOL ;)) and isn't very useful to use as packing material....seriously though, extremely handy to have on your iPad, would highly recommend... ### 1/5 — Forced to write a review! *2014-07-29, version 1.5* Very annoyed that I now cannot access the app without writing a review. Completely ridiculous!! ### 4/5 — Really handy! *2014-07-11, version 2.0* Really handy to have my TV times with me when I am travelling. It takes a while to download each issue, but, once loaded, it is easy to use and really clear. It would be good to have automatic bookmarks to find specific days as it can take a while to find the end of the week. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Awful app *2026-04-20* I had this app for a few years as it’s difficult too get hold of a paper copy of TV Times. I had so many problems every week trying to download it that I ended my subscription and got my copies from another app where I experienced no problems. This app has recently been sold and no longer works in my region. So I thought I’d give the TV Times app another try in the hope the app had been fixed. No such luck in fact it’s even worse! Sadly I will now have to resort to alternative tv guides. SORT THIS OUT TV TIMES!! **Developer response:** Hi Elle emgeee12, many thanks for your review. We're really sorry to hear you've experienced difficulties with the TV Times App. Please could you contact our support team directly at apps@futurenet.com, and one of the team will be happy to look into this further and assist you in enhancing your experience with the App. Thanks, The Digital Support Team ### 1/5 — Price jump. *2025-08-16* This has been my go to tv guide for more years than I can count, first in physical and then digital. Unfortunately the astronomical price increase from £3.99 per month to £7.99 means it’s no longer affordable. I’ll be cancelling asap. **Developer response:** Hi Raptargh, Thank you for your review and valuable feedback. We held the price of a monthly subscription for many years but recently increased it due to rising costs. We believe our subscriptions continue to offer good value, with an annual subscription to TV Times coming in at £1.34 per issue, which is less than half the price of an individual issue. If you would like to talk more about the prices please contact us on apps@futurenet.com ### 1/5 — Unreliable. *2022-02-27* Despite having a current subscription, I still get asked to pay for the current copy. If I delete the App and reinstate it, the subscription reactivates sometimes other times I have to ‘fight’ with it. Very annoying ### 1/5 — Wont Open *2018-03-10* Keeps jamming on the opening splash screen. All you get to see is the TVTimes logo and it wont let you see the magazine you paid for. Rip off. ### 1/5 — Appalling system *2017-05-26* Out of focus most of the time. hard-to down load, had to pay twice to get. Terrible app ### 1/5 — Free trial *2017-03-14* It shows a 30 day free trial is available but there are options to pay for a month or a year, nothing about a trial. ### 1/5 — Parson's Egg *2016-03-29, version 2.3* The authors seem to think it is okay to force you to write a stupid review. ### 1/5 — Great magazine terrible app *2016-01-25, version 2.3* I have read the TV Times since I was a child. The magazine is great but this app is terrible. It's really just a PDF of the magazine. It takes ages to download and difficult to read on an iPhone. Come on TV Times! This app should not just be a copy of the magazine for the price you charge. Check the metro newspaper app. It's brilliant and so easy to read and navigate. ### 1/5 — Awful *2015-06-24, version 2.3* This app is a rip off, free to buy but to view each week you have to pay £1.49! ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2015-02-28, version 2.2* Rubbish ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Tv times *2022-03-03* Payment taken but magazine not received ### 5/5 — Fabulous TV magazine *2020-04-21* I have been buying TV Times for over 40 years, always been my favourite, love the way tv pages are laid out and interesting articles. Usually buy every week but as it is difficult to get out and get it at the moment while we are all self isolating, decided to do a subscription, for the time being at least so that I don’t miss it. Thank you TV Times. ### 5/5 — Telly *2019-12-06* Easy to read and very clear ### 5/5 — Tv times *2018-12-14* After months of perfect service in last 2 days app will not open, starts to open then closes down. Any reason? ### 5/5 — Mag is great...app is hinky *2017-11-01* Since the last update, it is great on some things..the new layout for example. But it is very hinky. The picture wavers and it is not good at flipping pages. ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2017-02-11* App fantastic always got it with me ### 5/5 — Tv times *2016-12-16* It's brilliant ### 5/5 — Wonderful app *2015-12-23* I love the tv times app,i enjoy the many pictures always in this magazine and the great tv guide that comes with it! ### 5/5 — TV Times Magazine *2015-09-30* This is a great App when it is working properly. It us usually pretty reliable, keep on top of any issues with being able to use it, downloading magazines and being able to read the magazine. Also please could it be made possible for people to be able to be able to mark any particular programs they want to watch on the magazines. This way viewings can be planned in advance. It is very handy to be able to read the magazine on my iPhone as well as on my iPad so that I can read it wherever I am. ### 5/5 — Ms *2015-08-04, version 2.3* Love it. Can read any time anywhere --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
