My go-to app for OTA tv!

Can select 2 viewing areas. Like the schedule layout.Easy to adjust settings. Very pleased over-all. And free.Thank you,

Slow When It Works

This is the absolute worst TV listing app I’ve tried. It’s as slow as it can be when it works and it doesn’t work all the time. Every time you I want to look at an individual channel for the night I may as well just get online and look because it may or may not load. I’m going back to the old one from my other phone. Never had any issues with it. This is pure junk.

Doesnt store customizations

Terrible app. I spent a lot of time customizing my preferred channels & the next time I opened the app POOF my preferred channels were gone. Now POOF this app is deleted from my phone!

Easier to navigate than the cable TV grid

Very useful App. Clean interface. Easy to read font type and size.

What the H have you done to this app!!!

I have used this app for years and now it is the worst
app I have.
It freezes constantly
Shows won’t load
Right now it is completely useless. I couldn’t even get to the settings icon because of the frozen app
Everytime you update the app gets worse

Good app

Since they had the update on it it’s a fantastic app highly recommended it

Update Bug?

Sorry, I found out to do it, thanks 😊 but I would still like to be able to use the share function to send programs via email, etc

After the update, I am no longer able to use the share function. So I cannot send reminders to my Calendar/Reminders. It was a feature I used a lot.

Good apps — the UK & US

I love both of the apps. The new layout is a lot better and makes it easier to find what I’m looking for.

One thing I wish was easier is a way to change reminders to change how early I want to be reminded. I’m usually reminded 5 minutes before but would like to change it to an hour before for all future reminders of a particular show but it isn’t really clear where I can do that.

Otherwise, it’s a terrific app.

TV Genius

Just found this app today. I like that it’s silent, no crazy music like some. Still learning the features but so far I think it’s great.

Previous format was better

Previous format you could see more of what was on “now” with less scrolling.

3/18/26 Keeps getting worse. Was great for years. It lost my setup, clunky navigation, slow,… Unfortunate. Look elsewhere for a channel guide app.

It broke

Half of my listings are gone. Instead of 160 ota channels I get 40.
Please fix

TV App Update Missed

this app has been my go-to app for my over the air tv channels for many years

i’ve referred several of my friends to it & it was always so easy to use & had most of the info i was looking for, however, the recent update to the app is not as user friendly as what it was before

before: you could just keep scrolling down to get to the next upcoming shows or scroll up to see the previous shows that had already aired

now: you have to keep going back out to select the next show you want to view & it’s easy to lose your place & very frustrating & redundant

before: when viewing the info on any show, you could see the season and episode of the show & the synopsis of each episode was in the description

now: you can’t see the season or episode of any current show and there is no more synopsis of each episode. it’s just the same thing on each show, which is just a description of the entire series.
while viewing the current show, you can scroll down to view the upcoming shows list and that list includes the season & episode for those shows, until they’re actually showing & then that info is not anywhere

it would be nice if we could have an option as to which version we would like to use, cuz i’d go back to the previous version

i don’t understand why anybody thought it was necessary to change a good thing, since this new app is clearly not a step forward … it’s very disappointing

You BROKE IT!

I knew I was going to regret updating, that said it had become useless anyway. I only used it for local channels since my cable has its own guide. First off the interface looks nothing like the screen images shown or the previous version. Anyone ever heard if it’s not broke, don’t fix it? It was such a nice app, I literally used it many times a day now IT SUCKS!!! . I really hate this when it happens. Later Dudes

What the heck?!

Your “improvements” took this app from bad to worse!! If I could, I would give you ZERO stars!!!!!
Later: It’s STILL lousy!!

Settings disappeared

Settings icon disappeared since the recent update. Also very slow loading.

Update=downgrade

Giant pictures for every single tv show waste listing space so you cannot scan the entire evening.
Much less useful.
Had used for years. Bye

Saved channels aren’t saved to acct

Please support saving channel provider(s) AND channel lists to account so they don’t have to be manually re-jiggered on new devices

Mr

Why is it taking so long to upgrade the ipad app, it practically unusable.
