Freeview TV Guide for Android
Would it be possible to have notifications for when a specific film or TV series/episode is added to the guide? For example I was looking for a film the other day that had no DVD release, so if I could get a notification for if/when it aired again on TV that would be a great feature.
Come on guys, this is absolutely unusable, buggy, slow and does you no credit whatsoever. A basic TV listing app really shouldn't be that difficult. Get the basics right and working first, then try adding value. At present, it's rubbish.
It cannot connect to its server - unusable. It's still as rubbish as it was last time I tried it - and uninstalled it! Hey ho, do you people read these reviews? I don't think you do.
As most people on here say it is totally useless. Keeps saying I'm not connected to the internet which I am and with a speed of 200meg as well!!!!!!! Don't waste your time installing this useless load of horse manure. Plenty of other apps out there that actually work!!!!!!
Utter tripe lately in meridian area. Just keeps telling me I have no wifi connection. Which is correct. Only its only when I connect to this app!
Last tried this in mid 2014 when was very poor. Now in September 2017 it only displays in portrait which I cannot tolerate on my tablet. The actual display is good, but for me, for now, it is the usual: ... Uninstalling.
I've tried to use this for a while now, updated whenever there's been one available but had to uninstall as it's always crashing. I don't think I've opened it once and not been thrown out or it's frozen my phone. When it does open, it takes a while to update to the real day and time. Very poor
Absolutely useless! Keeps saying my devices aren't connected to the internet! It's slow to load, often never loading! When I first used this app a few years ago, it was good, these days it's very slow to load, often not loading at all, even with a perfect internet connection. It's getting worse, not better!
Portrait only - so stupid. Midlands (east and west) completely missing now, so didn't go any further. They need a proper app designer!
Terrible. Will not display listings most of the time -just says I don't have wifi, when I clearly do! Seems to be a common problem.
Boots occasionally but 90% of the time stops or says not connected... When you clearly are. Completely useless app. Don't bother.
Very useful but a few gripes. The schedules are not always as my (Freeview) telly and after a recent update some of the app's channel nos are wrong e.g. Quest+1 is now 83, not 92. Would like 1) sort order options and 2) radio stations - TV and radio separate, naturally... It would be pretty cool to actually be able to change channel too... Thanks for reading...
Doesn't work in any way, shape or form but to it's credit, the only thing it does well is take up space on my phone Theres room for improvement
They have fixed the issue of no listings showing, only to now only display in portrait view. I use my tablet in landscape. Will update to 4 stsrs if we can have option to display in landscape.
Why in this day and age can you not make a app to view freeview? Your own product. You remade this app to be an even better TV guide, well done. Guess I'll keep using 3rd party apps.
Much better than TV24 which I've been using for many years. A couple of minor issues but let's see if it improves
Best freeview app.. but one snag,keeps saying your device is running slow,turn off auto start on app.. how? Where's the setting to do so?
Could not connect to the server to even download the regional information. Why after so many poor reviews has this not been sorted out?
It does work, but this is so slow and unreliable that I found it was better to make a icon that linked to the listings on the Freeview web site. PS. I gave this another chance and was disappointed to discover that instead of being fixed, it's actually worse than ever. Downgraded to one star
Used to be ok but has now stopped displaying any listings in grid view, still displays in individual channels. Going to uninstall it now.
Favourite adding is unobvious and film view doesn't exist. No kid safe view or is that normal for tv shows now?
When it works OK but would be much better if I could see a chosen time for all channels e.g 20 : 00
Cannot get this app to connect to server to download regional information. Hasn't been updated in nearly a year very lazy developers
Why are the channels fully aligned with the programming? When scrolling further down, you cannot see which channel you are looking at anymore.
Errors and cannot load listings; "you have to be connected to the Internet.." sometimes displays 4 irrelevant channels. Forcing close fixes 50% of time, but sometimes not useable
A good app in general. Well laid out and easy to read, but it keeps pausing momentarily whilst scrolling, which is frustrating.
Very unstable app. Keeps stopping. Used to be really good. Disappointing now. ????
Keeps saying I need to be connected to Internet, I know I am as everything else on phone works.
Constantly freezes for 30 seconds and moans you have no internet when you do. Often wont even load.
A load of Crap keeps saying error during communication with the server. Reporting this app to Google. Uninstalled forever.
Terrible. I usually have to load it three or four times before it will cost. E up with a listing.
App doesn't load the majority of the time. Pointless having. Pity, as it would be great if it worked.
Portrait only ? And yet you show it in landscape on the tablet here ? Rubbish uninstalling !
This app keeps stopping, chose a region, that's as far as it for now won't even open. Phone is up to date
KEEPS SAYING I AM NOT CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET WHEN I MOST DEFINATELY AM, NOT PLEASED USED TO BE OK BUT NOT NOW!!!!!
The App used to update on opening now it doesnt!
The lack of cast members in programme listing is very frustrating. The dates of films and original broadcasting would also be helpful.
Totally useless ever time I try to open it to view what's on it fails so I have uninstalled this app for the last time. I will never put it back on my phone there as to be a better TV guide than this one wait there is one rated at 4.8 and not 2.8 like this one.
Biggest bag of shite! Connection problems after connection problems. Pure shite.

Absolutely useless, like many others here it keeps saying that I'm not connected to the Internet, when I most definitely am connected. When it does work it takes ages to update, half the time the programme information doesn't load. If I could have given it less than one star I would have.
