Freeview FV for Android
I wanted to catch up on a program n 11. I downloaded freeview because the television commercials indicated that I could watch everything through the one place. Untrue. I then had to download the tenplay app. What's more, the useless freeview app is compatible with Chromecast but tenplay is not so I have to watch my program on my phone rather than tv.
a tv guide that is governed by the rules of twitter. seems deliberately designed to ensure the user is forced to look elsewhere if they would like any idea about what is being televised. this is the new australian way big bluster advertising for a product with little actual content or information. stinks like a pathetic government initiative.
Freeview for all free to air TV... What a load of horse poop. You can only watch selected shows and then suddenly the channel is unavailable, especially ch10 and ch11. I got this app as my arial is broken and cannot believe it still can't deliver the free to air channels and programs!
Waste of time. The TV ads sell the app as one place to watch all your favourite shows when the reality is that you still need to install the various apps from the different providers...
Unusable. Ive been using this app on both Android and ios for months and loved it but this past week it won't comnect or stops working via chromecast. Other apps work fine just this one
I use this app in Perth (WAST) but for some reason the ABC and SBS streams are running on East Coast times (AEDT). This is terrible, a stream for these channels needs to be available in the correct timezone. Finally, having Chromecast support is amazing though! Will bump up to a 4 star review if the timezone issues with the SBS and ABC streams are fixed. For a 5 star app this would need: all channels working in this app instead of sending you out to other apps for some channels, higher bit rate stream quality, and all FTA channels being available. Android TV support would be nice too.
What's with the dodgy guides for ABC & SBS? Not good enough. Can't reorder or delete channels. Favourites should display highlighted on guide. Needs a lot of improvement.
So I download this app because tenplay sucks and all it does it direct me back to tenplay. Tenplay does not have Chromecast support but Freeview does. However there's no point because Freeview just takes you back to tenplay. Why did you bother creating this app? Who is funding your stupid commercials on tv that make it look so easy to catch up on tv that you missed? Either create something that works or don't make it at all.
Live TV good, but all 'catch up' content are just links to the other apps, which I can just install myself. Terrible. Hopefully YouTube TV comes to Australia to show you how it's done.
No point when some channels require you to install other apps and some shows are not available. If you all channels are on board or remove those that refuse and ensure all programs of a Chanel are available, then this app would make sense. Until then it's a half baked app.
Terrible. All the 'free' things I'm wanting to watch are 'currently unavailable'. I don't see the purpose of this app at all and it's description is totally misleading.
POINTLESS REALLY Uninstalling this app simply because you still need each individual app it applies to installed for it to work and it just takes up unnecessary disc space and you don't need it.
SBS and other channels not live like it states. I am in QLD we do not have Daylight savings app should be able to be set to a time zone..
"This show is currently unavailable." "This show is currently unavailable." "This show is currently unavailable.". Etc etc etc etc. Programmes come up in search results, but aren't available to watch. There are links back to the play store and e.g. tenplay app, (which also needs then to be installed), but then the shows aren't watchable on that either. Crashes repeatedly. Abysmal. I can't believe they dare to advertise this app on TV. It just proves once again that there isn't any stupid action that there isn't someone both stupid AND arrogant enough attempt. A whole cluster of them are touting this. If the show isn't available on this app, just stfu. Don't do deals with other apps to profit from click - throughs, dishonest and greedy ₹#! ‡s
What is the point, you still have to install an app for each channel. So you still have to fight the utterly rubbish channel 7 / 9 / 10 apps
Unfortunately for the viewer the placement of ads whilst watching a movie ,with the movie still playing in real time, brings you back having missed part of the show. We had hoped this would have been a replacement for the dreadful VAST satellite system but with so many glitches it has just joined every other half baked service on offer in regional Australia . Also the poor broadcasting rights mean that major sporting events that would be shown on DTV cannot be shown .
It could be better but I'm not complaining much ...har har not horse poo when they say it's free Nothing is for Free! Even if its poo!
First try, app crashes when choosing channel. Some channels unavailable. Nothing actually works. Pretty much useless. Nougat pixel xl.. Uninstalling
It connects to cast, then loads the sbs program in a browser insteadof on tv. That's useless
Complete bs. Show says it starts an hour later and then just stops. Good job
Awful on Android. Screen locks after approx 1 minute, you reset & get the same 2 X ads repeatedly. Worst app I have ever used. I hate it.
What is the point? I click on catchup and then have to install the apps for the channel the selected program is usually televised on. I can just install the apps by themselves. Ridiculous. Uninstalled
Absolutely terrible. Don't waste your time
Can't watch ten or 11 and some channels don't play in the app and require more apps to watch. Clicking on the show info crashes the app.
Only thing this app does reliably is freeze. Useless!
Our tv reception went on the blink and we were still able to watch using this app. I also use it to watch shows when my husband is watching sports.
Location services are inaccurate, can only watch sydney version of channels rather than Melbourne.
Drops out too much, cannot watch continuous..on channel 7 for example they keep playing intro and before you can watch the content. Other channels listed just takes you too app download in the playstore to watch those channels. It's a very bad app.
Since i have installed this damn app One HD Eleven11 and 10 have never been available and my most favorite shows are on those channels fix the problem and i will change my opinion to 5 stars☆☆☆☆☆
A complete waste of time. This app does not even play any video, it just lists TV shows by name. As an Australian tax payer, I want my money back.
why are you advertising in TV with those stupid Childress ads when you have such a rotten APP. It only lets you know future shows not shows that have already been screened
Your programming is all out of wack. Waste of time ????
app will constantly freez on live tv and if you want to watch catch up u have to download that channels app so then really makes this app useless !!
Cant even access the app due to a loading issue circle in middle of screen wont stop loading
horrible app. freezes on every channel. doesn't load properly. when it loads, you get 30 seconds of live tv then video freezes and and audio keeps going. what a shame
Terrible app.crashes doesn't load streams after 1min it stops forcing you to restart and most channels you have to download another app
This app sucks real bad - keeps dropping out or stopping and can't find shows/movies that you want to catch up. Waste of time!!!
Hard to tell you anything. Unable to log onto this app. after many unsuccessful attempts. Will not accept Facebook logon option. What gives?
Started off fine and I liked the TV guide, but then the TV guide started freezing, a few days later it's missing?

Worst app ever. Can only chrome cast live tv. Um I can just watch live tv dummies why would i want to cast it?? The promise of catching up on tv is BS too, this app simply links to each tv stations own catch up app (eg tenplay, plus7 etc) none of which will chromecast though so pointless.
