| 2024-12-08 |  | | The app no longer works well. I have used this app for a long time but lately, although I set reminders for three hours before a programme the app reminds me after the programme has started. When I change the reminder the app crashes. Please fix this thanks |
| 2024-06-17 |  | | I've been using this app for over 10 years, paying the annual subscription. But now the subscription renewal is declined, no matter what payment method I select. Google Play (and Pay) works fine for everything else, so something's gone wrong with this app's subscription. Is it no longer supported? |
| 2023-08-20 |  | | I have had this app for years now and have always found it to be one of the best. Until lately. Your ads on it before it opens, I put up with the extreme length of them, but when you can't close one, without going to my home screen, even though the timer of that add has expired I.e Facebook add. It's bloody annoying. I am un installing. |
| 2023-05-01 |  | | I always use this app to plan my TV viewing, it has many good aspects. I can set alarms to notify me my favourite programs are about to start, the programs are explained well and if you click on an actor it will tell you what other programs they appear in. I do have a problem though, I have lost BBC1. I don't know how to refresh it to bring it back. All in all a good app. |
| 2023-03-12 |  | | Used to be a good TV Guide but forced to uninstall it as it just opens ads which can't be closed and keeps opens up Play Store without asking. If I ever get to the TV listing the it's already half way through the programme. So now totally useless when there are plenty of similar apps which actually work. |
| 2022-12-07 |  | | I've been using this app for years and it's been really good. Unfortunately, they have now started using aggressive advertising techniques where you have to sit through an annoying advert before you get to where you want to be. I've no choice but to uninstall and look for a better app... 😡 |
| 2022-11-08 |  | | Still the best UK TV app I've found, with useful features and a thoughtful redesign. Thank goodness they seem to have rethought the full screen video ads upon opening, as I was about to uninstall! I'd be happy to purchase an ad free version to support development but they aren't particularly intrusive due to the new design, and I can't bring myself to add another subscription. |
| 2022-10-02 |  | | Used this app for years and the ads were always unobtrusive but recently the pop up ads play before you can even look at the listings so uninstalling it as it's really annoying. The paid version is a subscription and although cheaper than buying a weekly TV guide so might be good for some people, I just don't use the app often enough to justify a paid subscription so it's a bye bye rather than buy for me |
| 2022-05-31 |  | | I've used this app for years and it's accurate and easy to use. One minor niggle: Freeview has an annoying habit of renumbering channels periodically. I haven't found a way to refresh the channel numbers so now some of them are incorrect in the app. A lot of people are moaning about intrusive ads but these are not a problem if you use an ad-blocker. |
| 2021-09-24 |  | | A Curate's Egg. Some really good features & data (on the whole) accurate & pretty complete (certainly for week ahead, less so beyond that). The feature I find really useful is listing of repeats, so I can watch if I have missed the original broadcast. But the excruciating wait for the advert (before you can use the app) is sooooooo frustrating. Nobody wants the blessed ads anyway, we just want them to pop up quickly then click, to get rid of them, as soon as we can. Who ever reads them anyway? |
