TV Primetime is the classic TV magazine for German TV exclusively for the Apple iPad and the Apple iPhone. We value the presentation as in a real TV magazine, in combination with strong and intuitive program features. This gives you a familiar and at the same time flexible navigation through the events on the TV. It is important to us that you can browse through the TV program in a relaxed way. Therefore, TV Primetime does not contain any advertising or collects personal information. The purchase of the program data is also not free for us. Because of this: You can try TV Primetime for 4 weeks. After this you need to complete an auto-renewable subscription. In this way, this service is financed. The subscription is managed through your Apple user account and complies with all policies. The amount will be deducted from your iTunes balance and will be paid periodically (monthly, semi-annually, or annually) until you stop renewing the subscription. You can do this at any time up to 24 hours before the next debit. This can be done via the settings app of your iPad in the settings to your Apple user account. Please take advantage of the free trial period, an unused part will expire for technical reasons as soon as you complete the subscription. TV Primetime costs 16.99 euros in the annual package (only 1.41 euros per month), in the half-year package 8.99 euros or monthly 1.99 euros. In this way, we finance the purchase of data to over 250 channels (including the Pay TV channels of “Sky”) and provide you with this program data completely without advertising. This is something that no conventional German TV magazine can offer you at this price. Try TV Primetime easily and without obligation just once. Find out more on our website or just contact us.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

TV PRIMETIME holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3 and 6 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 95% of TV PRIMETIME's written reviews are positive against 100% of Elevate TV's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

TV PRIMETIME ships an update every 3 months, Elevate TV every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
