TV Listings & Guide Plus for Android
WAS 5+ stars until recently. Again tonight it alerted me to a new episode but when I clicked on it the app clearly didn't say new. I checked my settings for that show and it's checked for only new episodes. There is nothing in the other circle. I'd love to add channel 20.3 in my lineup. It's the exact same as another channel number. Mine didn't come up with the other channels & it's not hidden in my list. How do I add it/change an existing channel that doesn't exist?
Why bother watching the tv show/movie , when this app writes about every detail, beginning to end about the program. A simple description would be good without overstating every plot and twist. AND So many inaccuracies by an OVER opinionated writer, Not everyone has the same taste.
Excellent app, everything is layed out way I would of made a app like this. Only drawback is for eg. If I don't use for couple days, apon opening the app it goes to the last time of the last day the app was used. It gets stuck loading till i select a time period.. Hope can fix in a update.
Ads between the lines of tv info is one thing. And ads will never be specifically directed at me because I always opt out of personalized ads, and to whatever extent is possible, I disallow tracking and data collection. I do not even use this app very often. Tonight, when I opened the app to do a quick program lookup, the ads which were presented can only be described as a come-on to subscribe to live video websites of scantilly-clad high school girls showing off their butts. Come on, people: UNSOLICITED PROMOTION OF CHILD PORNOGRAPHY!?!?!?!?!? Google Play Store, please look into this immediately! As for me, I'm deleting this app immediately. In my opinion, so should everyone else.
Love this!! I get to customize my channel line up. I deleted junk channels like QVC and ones I don't ever watch like Disney, cartoon channels, etc. What I see is just the ones I watch. I can sit in my doctor's waiting room and set up reminders for what movies and shows I want to watch for the week! THIS IS PERFECT! TRY IT!
Only reason didn't give 5 stars was because of the reviews given on some movies. Not everyone has the the same taste....just wish they would give description and a little history. Just my opinion though. Besides that... great app!!
I really like this app. Only thing is before the last update it showed the correct channel numbers for my form of cable now it's wrong and I have to look at a printout to know what channel I need to go to. Would be 5 stars if that was fixed. So far it has not been wrong on what's on. Plus I can set reminders if there is a show I don't want to miss.
When I read the description of whatever I want to watch (primarily movies, which, BTW, are done so in way too much, and convoluted detail) the body of the review contains the actor's last name but does not ascribe the character whom the actor plays in the movie. Very annoying. A simple fix..for instance, when saying, "Scott (as in Randolph) sees Apaches" put the character's name in parens, i.e. "Scott (Beaudry) sees the Apaches" so we know whom, of many characters in the movie, you are talking about.
Exactly what I was looking for. We have built-in TV listings with our cable box, but I needed a guide for the OTA channels we get with our digital antenna. I can deselect the channels we never watch, and create my own custom guide. Interface is very simple. Perfect for my needs.
Overall, very helpful. Only issues I have had is the delay in program change update. Dont find out that the scheduled program has changed until I turn the channel or sometimes later. But this app definitely is a huge help! Thanks!!
I like this app but would love for you to be able to edit the channel numbers! Are cable in our apartment is not listed on the app as same channel number so we have to go by the channel name instead which isn't convenient because the lineup isn't in same order as the TV channels on TV. PLEASE make it so you can manually change the channel numbers for each channel.
Easy to use. My single biggest issue is that filtering on "Movies" returns more than just movies; sports and regular TV series as well. I'd like to see a short description of the movie and who's in it, followed by IMDB ratings (or other) and/or someone's personal take on movie. The latter is what is used today.
HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY I'M "NOT INTERESTED IN SEEING THIS?" I KEEP SEEING THE SAME ADS OVER AND OVER! STOP THEM OR THIS APP WILL BE UNINSTALLED! Think I may have to subscribe to another TV Guide because no matter how times I say I don't want to see anti-virus ads they keep popping up. This is my second attempt to use a TV Guide app. Just about had enough. Looking for something I can just buy. Anyone know of a TV Guide app I can subscribe to? 3/19/17 Still seeing ads I don't want to see.
This is a great app for TV, but I'll tell you what : The Show Overview should just tell in a couple of sentences what a movie is about; instead, the guide gives a Review. A long review, sometimes with spoilers. A Review is okay, but it should say who wrote it. Otherwise, it's plagiarism, which is illegal. And if the developer wrote it, no offense, but why should I care. Frankly though, I don't care about a review. I just want to know what the movie is about, just a couple of sentences is plenty. Even with this peeve, it is still the best TV guide app. Developers have covered all the bases.
I'm having a lot of trouble setting up my channels. The little box is hard to hit without bringing up the schedule of that channel instead of clicking it off. Then when I dismiss the schedule, all of the channels I clicked off are now on. I'm going through 406 channels and it's ridiculous having to start over from scratch each time.
I really like this app because I'm able to set up customize channel list and I like the ability to say my favorite shows and get alerts when shows are about to come on. I also like the fact that I'm able to go ahead and change the channel number on my custom list. This came in very handy when I was admitted into the hospital (Channels are never the same in the hospital like they are at home). I would also like the ability to have multiple custom list. (For example I have multiple homes with different providers and one of my houses has cable and satellite so having multiple custom list and the ability to name them would be awesome). I wish there was a way that I could pay for ad-free version of the app. I am definitely willing to pay extra for the additional features.
Please remove unhelpful movie editorials. The movie descriptions are annoying, poorly written editorials that include spoilers. Please replace with the year movie was released, genre and a brief description of the movie without spoilers. Other than that, great app!
Not that there's much choice for Canadians, but this app is pretty good. Fairly accurate and functional. Way better than TV Guide app, at least for our service. Biggest problem is that alerts seem to be set as alarms rather than notifications.
Love it. I am in the States and have digital cable so I don't need a cable box, the cable connects directly to the TV. The problem is that the channel numbers do not match the numbers used by the cable box. And the cable company stopped publishing listings with the 'direct' channel numbers. This is the only app I could find that allows customizing channel numbers.! I wish they would make the field 1 byte longer though. I can store 82-1 as 82.1 but there isn't space for 82-10 as 82.10.
I have a digital antenna, not cable. And it has listings for all the channels that I get. It filters to just the channels that I do watch. And I can set alarms for shows I don't want to miss. Very easy to use. Some of these reviews have negative thoughts for movies and such. But I happen to like them. Just a matter of taste I suppose.
The listings and times are great, how ever the reviews are mean, sarcastic and at times down right depressing. Just about every review I had very little positive to say. Who writes these reviews and can we get someone who has a sunnier disposition. Get some therapy or do something to make yourself happy.
I love this app! I can have it alert me for a show I want to see, I can read about what is coming on all the channels in my market even the ones not listed in my TV guide, and it is easy to use. I recommend this app for all TV watchers.
Custom line-up won't let you change it once it has been set. Confusing on exactly how to get the channels on there. Tried both ways check on and check off. Let me change custom lineup and you got 5 stars, coz app is great otherwise!
Who's the dipshit who writes your show reviews? How about keeping personal commentary out of it. How bout that? Your abismal attempt at criticism is at best vomitous. Please. Just write the shows storyline and shut the hell up.
I'm not sure who is responsible but, on the weekends some channel times are hours off for the entire day. You learn to compensate but, many time you tune in and the movie is just going off. Or the movie doesn't begin for two hours. Irritating.
Setting an alert for a series doesn't always work. Sometimes it alerts for a program you stopped following and often it skips shows you set. Plus it requires following a show on every channel for it to show up. But it is excellent for seeing a listing.
I don't understand the high ratings. This app has a lot of design flaws and some obvious bugs. Filters don't work properly. It takes too many taps to navigate to certain functions. Favourites can only be added to the app's calendar if notifications for them are turned on (at least I can mute the notification sound...). I wouldn't complain if this app was an amateur project, but clearly these guys are trying to make big money through ads. Not impressed.
☆Would you please add 26.2 (Light Tv) in Houston, Texas. It's okay. Better than the TV Guide. Would like to have an option to pay to get rid of those ridiculous ads!!!
I use an outdoor antenna and it shows all of my local channels. It's always worked and it's fast. I used to use the TVGuide app and it was slow and buggy.
Overall the app is pretty cool and gets the job done. My only dislike is the movie write ups. They are lengthy and way too personal. A simple explanation of the movie would be suffice.
It is a good app definitely better than tv guide the only con I have is when you want a short review of the movie or show that you want to watch it's like reading a book please just a short synopsis would be much appreciated thanks.
Used to love this app but now half my favorite stations say TBA. They work on another app. Don't want to switch but will have to if not fixed soon!
I LOVE this app!!! I love that just because we choose not to have cable or satellite, we don't get jipprd on finding out what's on TV!!! It's great with small children, to see what's on for them. It's easy to set reminders, and to choose your favorite shows, and automatically get reminders whenever that show happens to be on!! Super easy to use, and you don't even notice the advertisements. Get this app!!!!
I like the app but it glitches and has to be re started too much. It is accurate to what is on my channels. It also has good show descriptions. I like that it highlights what is new on tv. Overall good app.
All I have is a digital antenna since I mainly only watch local channels. This app is SO helpful and nice to have since I don't have a TV guide that expensive cable and satellite companies offer. I love the feature that allows you to set reminds when my favorite shows are on and the option to follow a program. I also enjoy the "My Series" and "Tonight" options. They allow you to quickly glance at the programs you have chosen instead of going through all channels for that day or week.
Simple, easy and accurate, like it should be. Gives an ability to get a full review of movies that fit the bill. Doesn't crash or freeze up like the others.
View is by channel not by time so it can tell you what it thinks you should want to watch. Theory supported by fake movie reviews no doubt generating fractions of penny per click on reviews prepped by smelly boy in dirty room at request of dirtier smellier richer boy in room with hookers and gold thread sheets.
It lists all the shows correctly and I'd give it more stars, but the ads are usually for porn or social cheating apps; I don't need that; I don't need my kids to see that.
Not perfect, but overall, the best of the TV Guide-type apps I've tried. The ability to setup reminder alarms, both recurring and one-time, and to track any occurrence of a show, even in differing time-slots, is especially nice.

I really like the lay out of how this app displays the guide with upcoming shows. I also like how you can customize how the guide displays. One thing that I think is needed is there ability to easily swap the whole channel listing to a future date. Right now you can only see what is coming on a day or 2 (or even next week) from now one channel at time. Another thing that they may consider is color coding sports, news and movies in certain colors to make them stand out easily.
