Searches/listings not as robust as previous. Long time user. Not happy with this newest update. The searching has lost a lot of its former facility. 1. Can no longer search recurring shows to see all viewing times. For ex. Real Time With Bill Maher repeats a number of times over a week on a couple of HBO stations. Searching for this show only gets you to an info page about it. 2. With series shows you used to be able to see the season and episode in the listing. It’s not available now. (Ex Homeland repeats on Showtime). 3. You used to be able to search for a particular actor and get a list of upcoming movies they were in airing on various stations over the next few days. This is missing. With all 3 maybe I’m doing something wrong. If I am then the functions are not as intuitive as they were

Update was awful! Totally unusable!. I used to use the app all the time but now it’s just awful. I had to switch to a different app which is not as good as TV Guide before you changed it. I have no idea why it was changed but it entirely unusable now. No descriptions of series episodes, so you have no idea if you have seen it or which episode of a show it might be. It’s sad. I used to use this app all the time, now it’s just useless and I’ll probably just delete it. I have no idea of what goes on behind the scenes so maybe there’s a reason this went from awesome to unusable overnight but right now, the app is pointless. So, my question is, why bother? I mean, if you want listings that provide no information but, for example, something like South Park, will give you the description of the series premise but for each episode just says “no information available”, so no idea if it’s an episode from 20 years ago or this year. Very very annoying. I’ve never seen an app go from 5 stars to 1 star so fast. Actually, I would give 0 stars if I could.

Great for finding new episodes, not their #’s. I had previously given a 5-star review but I am downgrading one star. TV Guide is still a very good and convenient tool for finding new shows of interest 14 days in advance. Only rarely do I detect flaws. I jot down shows of interest, to guide my recording, into a small notebook. (Utilizing my Comcast On Demand service.) In many cases, you need to know the episode number to keep your recordings straight and to not miss an episode. Unfortunately, TV Guide frequently gets the episode numbers wrong. More and more I find the need to double-check against web searches for a show, or compare to what the “Next Episode” app says. Episode numbers are wrong enough of the time lately that I cannot grant the full 5 stars. I will continue to rely heavily on this app but with more cross-checking labor than I used to undergo. 4stars

Guess I Should Be Grateful. that this new version works at all, based on what others have said. I only got the new version just now, and held out as long as I could. Until now an older version still worked, on my older device. Took forever to load, but finally did. Difficult to navigate, but the listings are there. I know they’re correct for the two shows I checked, because they confirmed the TitanTV app I usually use. I had originally chosen not to sign in, but had to sign in (I used email.) to get the listings. My favorites were still there, too, so hope they’ve been working to fix things. I’m giving it two stars because the info I need (listings, show summaries, and favorites) is still there, but more difficult to find. Before I could set listings to show up when I opened the app. Unless it does that automatically, I don’t see how to set it. Just seems like everything is more difficult now, but grateful it’s still there. The previous version wasn’t as “fancy”, but who cares about that? I could get the info I needed quickly, without having to take a lot longer to do the same thing.

Great app destroyed. I have loved the TV Guide app on the web and for my iPad since they first released it. The most recent upgrade has been a total and complete disaster! I wish the app store let me go back to a prior release. Note that I just installed an update that was supposed to fix some of the issues, but the update did not. The app is now horribly slow, they have changed the search and its terrible with gigantic ads now taking up over half the screen on the listings page! The new start page is garbage! I have no idea what its for or why its there! The "tonight link" is useless! Most important it has become horribly difficult to just browse tonight's programming in the listings display! It just got worse if you can imagine that! The app on my iPhone now will not allow me to scroll from hour to hour in the listings display. I scrolled from 5pm to 8 pm and the thing just piled text on top of text -- totally unreadable! HORRIBLE! TV Guide needs to fire their programmers and start over!

RUINED A REALLY NICE PRODUCT. For years I have ENJOYED your wonderful App but I guess success is not a part of your business plan. You have gone from 5 stars to 1 star in a matter of days, if I could give 1/4 star I would, where did you find your Beta testers....in front of a Home Depot? Used to boot up immediately know syncs for 2 Minutes and then only gives you the current 3 hours, in another minute the rest of the slots populate! I used to be able to just isolate my HD channels now it always opens to the complete listing and I have to go back in and change it to HD only, really? You have increased the size of the rows reducing the number of channels you can view. IT IS AN ABSOLUTE CHORE USING THIS APP. I AM TICKED OFF BECAUSE YOU HAVE TAKEN A REALLY NICE SERVICE AND TURNED IT INTO GARBAGE. WHO EVER OK’D THIS CHANGE AND ANYONE WHO WORKED ON THIS ALBATROSS SHOULD BE EMBARRASSED, ASHAMED TO PICK UP A CHECK AND IMO FIND ANOTHER CAREER. Now I have to use the stupid display on my TV because you’ve sabotaged your own company. SMH....really guys? Really?

Goodbye TVGuide. After 10 years I am deleting your app. First you shut it down for a couple weeks forcing us to find another app while you claim to be developing a “better” app. For the person who wants to just watch broadcast TV you have made this totally useless. There are no descriptions of what the episode is about forcing a person to go to a second app like IMDB and reference the episode number to get a description. On top of that the episode numbers listed in this downgrade are all incorrect so in effect you have made this even more useless. The roots of TV Guide as a magazine were to give listings and descriptions of of the episodes that were on TV at a particular time. You brought the same idea over to the app up until now. You are completely unrecognizable now and have strayed from the original ideas that made you a staple for millions of homes. Good riddance for being this stupid and now useless. I would recommend using TV Listings by TV24 for your new app.

Listings really screwed up the past couple of days and I can’t log in for support. My TV Guide iPhone and iPad apps worked okay until a couple days ago. Now listings are about 7 hours off - if it is noon, the listings show the current time as 7 pm. But the listings for most channels are incorrect for both noon and 7 pm. Some channels are off by other time amounts. Many listings are completely blank. I cannot log on for customer support - it says my password is wrong and it won’t let me change my password. I deleted the app and reinstalled it but it didn’t fix anything. I have the latest iOS updates. I’ve used the TV Guide app several years and it normally works fine but it seems to really get screwed up once or twice a year. Rating 0-1 stars for this major glitch. UPDATE - the app was fixed about a day after I wrote the above review. My rating is back up to 4 stars for now. One star off for the occasional major malfunctions once or twice a year.

Reload TV guide app.. Update: After reading one of the reviews they recommended deleting app and reloading it and choosing what channels you watch and that fixed the problem. I now give this 5 stars. I gave this app 5 stars before now less then 2 stars. The TV guide app was the best app around but since a day ago they managed to make it far worse. The app before showed the channels for the networks in order from 1 to over a thousand and would also show all the channels and pay channels. What happened to channel 811 KCET 812 NHK as well as all the HBO? There are 10 HBO channels your guide now shows only 3 channels. What’s the reason for removing the channel numbers as well as most show listings? You went from listing over a thousand channels to now only showing 90 channels.

TV GUIDE MUST NOT HAVE A SUPPORT STAFF. I’ve submitted an “unsubscribe” request to TV Guide almost every day for two months, generally three or four times per day, yet this email continues to spam me every day despite these repeated attempts to discontinue receiving something I no longer wish to receive. Every other “unsubscribe” I’ve ever submitted has always honored my request, but not TV Guide. I generally do not make assumptions, but after nearly two months of pushing the “unsubscribe” item at the bottom of the page and receiving the notice I’ve been “unsubscribed” with a caveat it will take at least twenty four hours to stop receding my preferences, I can’t help but wonder if their staff doesn’t care, can’t read, or they can’t tell the difference between 24 hours and 24 YEARS. I don’t know about this, but it also begs the question if TV Guide has moved their support operation out of the USA and hires foreigners instead of providing jobs for American citizens who purchase their product(s) as so many other big corporations have. If this is true, and I’m not saying it is, perhaps there is a translation, language, cultural, or some other issue. Regardless, they have a support or technical issue that needs to be fixed. I would say to anyone thinking about using this App, think again if you don’t want to receive this email for the rest of your life because you canNOT unsubscribe.

The app went from fantastic to fouled. The main feature I used the previous version was for listings for OTC. I made specific use of the Listings features in using it only to see what I had as a Favorite & not list extra channels from outside the Cleveland & Greater NE Ohio broadcast area. With the new format, I’m now seeing networks that aren’t even remotely close. I also HATE the monster long listings because they include streaming media that I don’t want to clutter my reading but have no way to remove them. If I had known that these were the “improvements”, I’d never had updated the app. This newest version strips too much user controlled functionality that were of extreme usefulness in the previous release. TV Guide has once again reaffirmed my belief in several famous Murphy’s Laws: “Every solution breeds new problems.”; “If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.”; “Build a system that even a fool can use, and only a fool will use it.”; and finally, the most important... “If you fool around with a thing for very long you will screw it up.”. In the latter, TV Guide’s app development team took screwing it up to universal extremes.

Initially confused, now happy!. Initially I was upset and confused by the new update, deleted it and reinstalled it after I couldn’t find another TV App with features I wanted. Once I took the time to maneuver my way around the new site, instead of complaining about it, and made sure my favorites and Watchlist were still there, I really began to like it. It was helpful to read the FAQ’s also. I selected my satellite cable Provider (Direct TV), and my most watched channels which are saved to favorites with the red heart. The channel numbers and channel logo are on the left. All my favorites appear at the top of the page. My Watchlist programs are still shown after the update, and those with new episodes are marked New. I can also search a specific program in my Watchlist to see future dates it will be on TV. I still have the push notifications, which is good to remind me which programs in my Watchlist are coming on, and it’s convenient to see which of my Watchlist programs are airing or streaming. I have happily used and enjoyed the TV Guide App on my iPad for several years, and glad it’s back!

Can’t Sign In. App stop working. Was directed to delete app and reload which I did. Now trying to log in with Apple and e-mail and password and nothing works. Message says they sent an email that will sign me in. Email is never delivered. It says my password is incorrect which it isn’t. I then tried to change password and again they said I have an email to reset password. Again no email. I guess I have to be done with this app which I have enjoyed using. Never any problems before. Not much use to me now if I can’t log in. Weird! Well I got on finally. Lasted one day and then became unusable again. I deleted the app and then reloaded. Again I can’t log in. Tried to sign in with APPLE. Message says click on email they just sent. No email. Tried logging in with email and password. Message said wrong password. Same password I used yesterday. Tried to change password. Again message to click on email they just sent. No email sent! After many years of using the app and happy with it, it is now a joke and I am not wasting anymore time with it. I’m done. Very sad. “If it ain’t broke let’s break it”. Doesn’t deserve one star.

If Zero Stars Was An Option. Frustrating! Took 3-4 tries to get it installed and opened on my ipad (after the failed attempt to install the “upgrade” from the old app). Then a lonnnngggg wait while the new app downloaded guide information. After burning my first (and apparently only) chance to select a provider I deleted and reinstalled the app. This time I got my provider info in and waited for the channel listing and guide to populate...and waited, then waited some more. Finally got the populated guide up and nearly all of the channels were listed twice! Could not find a way to reload or reset the guide and resigned to deleting the app, again. Hard reset my ipad, and loaded the app, again... Once everything loaded, again, the same problems were still there. Tried several different things to get to some kind of setup or profile page and could not find anything. Searched online for help, still nothing meaningful, not even a hint of where to get help. I’m done. Could not get it to work for me. Wasted too much time messing around with it.

TV Guide change. I’ve always do use TV Guide. It’s the one constant for knowing what shows are on the air. But with your new upgrade I feel more like I’m using IMDb then TV Guide. I tap on a show to see what the episode is about and all I get is what the show is about Not what the episode is about. you want to make streaming easier that’s fine but can you please go back to when I tap on say Hawaii Five-0 on ion I get the episode Information not the information of the year the show started. With the new shows again the main thing you get is when the show started you have to go all scrolling down there to find the information about the new episode that is more work than the original TV Guide was. I’m not looking for you to change the whole thing back I just want you to go back to listing the episodes information. There are a lot of channels that show all the old shows and you need the episode information. Thank you

This is useless and loathsome!. Well, I fiddled like crazy and got the last iteration working for me. So what did the idiots do? Put out a new, even more inaccessible version and once again lost all my settings and favorites. These are really malevolent folks running this TV Guide app. Just don't know what else to turn to for current listings of my local shows. Sure regret that I ever installed their infuriating "updates." I used to really like the TV Guide. But, this new update is horrible. Hard to read, lost all my settings and I can't figure out how to get them back. Seems loaded with trivia that i've no interest in. But doesnt seem to have the previous lucid, 1-page, half-hourly schedule of my selected favorite channels. And I'm furious that I'm expected to waste my time trying to figure out how to use such a wretched interface. I want the option, at least, of returning to the earlier version. This is absurd, so I'll probably just get rid of this app.

Recent changes/ lost features, sadly. I’ve had this app for years and loved it. I loved the watchlist I could set where a star displayed by those shows we liked. I could see where our favorites were at a glance on the listings. Now the watchlist is giving me banners on my Lock Screen as a reminder 30 minutes prior to the show (not helpful). At least I think what’s what I’m seeing. I also used to LOVE the personalized alerts I could set. I had some favorite shows that were at random/obscure/changing times. This alert would give me an audio signal 5-10 minutes in advance (my choosing) that they were coming on. Great help! Now since the big update, my favorites don’t have stars on the listing, and the alerts I had set have completely disappeared!!! Even sometimes I pull this app up and the “listings” don’t even show up in the lower bar. I have to close it and open again, hoping they show. Please bring back those features I loved. I hope this is just some bugs that need worked out. In the meantime, I will try some other apps. (I use this solely for antennae tv.)

Thanks for nothing. I’ve been using this app daily, I like TV a lot. Now I just updated, signed in with Apple twice and then tried just continuing without and all times all I can see is “shows”, “all”, “and “movies”. There is no options for a menu or just the TV guide that I want to see! I can’t just look at the channels like I could just yesterday. Thanks a lot.. I just want to see what is on my broadcast channels right now. And now I can’t....Now I tried signing in with email, of course had to go through resetting password back and forth, but got that done and vwalla! Still nothing! Tried to press watchlist, of course it’s empty! I see only this “streaming stuff”! I don’t do that! I JUST watch tv and want to see what’s on my channels! What is a TV guide if it’s not a TV guide anymore?!?!? I’m bummed, I liked how this was setup before. Now I’m downloading other apps that aren’t as good. This will be the last add on to my review as I will now eliminate this app. It WAS one of my 4 “staple” apps at bottom of home screen..🥺

Older version was much more user friendly. The older version’s user usability is much better. 1) In the Listings, the user can only see an hour of programming at a time (and that’s cut off as well). It’s like looking at the programming schedule through a peephole. I remember the old version was at least two or two and a half hours of viewable interface. 2) Cannot switch to a horizontal view by rotating the phone in order to view more programming either, unlike the older version. 3) Cannot tap on a channel to view just the programming on that channel anymore like the old version. 4) It sure does take a long time to load the programming when Jumping To a future date. 5) From the Watchlist, can I please just tap on the show and see the Airings? Simple as that. It’s annoying to tap through more menus/layers every time. How about user settings to allow the user to default to their preferred streaming vs. airings vs. both options. 6) Once in the Airings, the episode descriptions are cut off and not expandable. How useful is TV Guide when I can see only the first few words of the show’s description? 7) It would be nice to see both the day and date in the future Airings. 8) Cannot search programming by type; e.g. sports, movies, etc.? 9) Make the search icon always (subtly) visible. Please bring back the usability features lost from the version of the TV Guide. Much appreciated.

Been acting funny. Since the last update the program has been problematic. When you open it up it doesn’t show today’s date but shows yesterday’s date and listing. If you click on the date and push the “NOW “ button it doesn’t change. You have to then press the the date button to get to the “Tomorrow” button before you can then press the “NOW” button to get today’s listing. I’ve been using this app for years and liked it a lot. This is the first time I have ever had a problem with this program. If it wasn’t for this problem I would give this app 5 stars because it WAS that good. I’m hoping the developers fix this problem because it is getting very tiring having to push the buttons 4 or 5 times every time I use this app. Please fix this.

Won’t let me login. For a week or two now app has not allowed login saying new app ic coming. App is now here and STILL will not allow login at least using email. Web works ... poor testing and app Mgt. Cannot comment on new app since it won’t let me in Update: 2 hours later I was able to login, assume issue was temporary. Still think app was down for a long time prior to the release of the new app but is working. Would like to be able to set the screen the app opens on but new look is good Update 3: the more I use the more I wish the old system was still avail. This is pretty but lacks detail. Hopefully you are working on giving as much info as the old system did. Also for CBS the for the first screen of tv listing it does not identify “new” programs UNTIL you drill down into the specific listing

What Have You Done!!???. Primary, fundamental functionality seems to have disappeared… What goes on here? For instance, what happened to the ability to go landscape and see a two to three hour (on phone or tablet) stretch of shows in a grid all at once? Now I can only view listings for a half an hour to an hour at a time in portrait mode. And where are my Settings options to allow me some choice on how to display things. And you used to be able to touch the tile representing the channel and see all the programming on that single channel for days going into the future quite readily, and then tap to go back to your multi-channel grid. You’ve given us lots of things that are promotional for the producers of content, but it seems you’ve taken away so much of the choice and functionality for the viewers, what were you thinking!? And where is a place to allow us to get help or give you feedback within the app? Come on people!

Overwhelmed by ads. Another update problems again and again. When it works it’s good, but so often doesn’t. Trying find another app Update - not working yet again, erased most of my channels for no reason Update to below...your new version of app very disappointing. I used to be able to check on the show and see a description of the episode airing and now that’s been replaced by just a description of the series.....especially for shows that are reruns I want to know what episode is about so I know if I’ve seen it or not and that helps me know if want to watch or not. You’ve made my favorite app useless and I’ve had to go find a different one to use. I used to love this app, one of my favorites ...even if occasionally it crashed, but now it’s overrun by ads. Just looking through the list of shows on right now if I want to click on shows to read description I’m going to get an ad at least every other time...and the ad comes up and when you close it then it also clicks closed the show info you wanted to see. It’s so aggravating I don’t know why I gave it 2 stars, just some residual love from before when it was great I guess.

Pretty good app, though has some issues. Overall I really like this app. The information is accurate (sports match ups can vary) and the ability to favorite channels and have them appear at the top of the listing is a really nice feature. They list literally dozens upon dozens upon DOZENS of channels; you’d be hard-pressed to not be able to find the one you’re looking for. That being said, sometimes the app doesn’t load all of my favorites, and I’ll need to close and reopen the app a few times to get it to work properly. Another issue I have is with favoriting specific movies and shows: overall I like being able to do this, but the app doesn’t always alert you ti when one of your favorite shows and movies will be on; I can understand this for shows that play a lot, but it would be nice to catch a movie when it airs. It would also be nice to be able to register more than one location for people who travel a lot. Overall it’s a pretty good app and I’d recommend downloading it, but it could be a lot better.

Fixed - No longer shows all channels. App works well again. Got an email from developer after having issues with new version and posting low review. Developer said in email they were working on the issue. Seems something was changed and is working as intended now. That means it is a nice TV channel listing app. We use It for OTA and it is 5 stars for content which is accurate and an easy to navigate interface and read on small screen iPhone 12 mini as well as ipad. Prior review - App used to work well. The latest update seemed to have caused the listings tab to not show all channels on ipad and iphone. Channels toward bottom of the listing view are no longer viewable. You can scroll down and see them while holding your finger down, but then spring out of view when you lift your finger.

Great, Helpful App. UPDATE: Right around the time I had written the good review below, the app changed drastically. It’s a lot slicker looking now and has some added features, but has become much less useful for its core function of TV listings. I rarely use it anymore and have changed from five stars to three. This app makes it really easy to look up TV listings, whether you want to look it up by channel or by program. I love the fact that you can select your TV provider and that it’s easy to switch from one provider to the other. I “cut the cable cord” awhile back and was surprised to find that this app not only had listings for all the local cable services but also had listings based on my local “over the air” antenna channels. Best if all it’s very intuitive to use.

Great app, super easy to set up the many awesome features!. I love that I can jump directly to the day and time I want and see a star next to my watchlist shows and the word new indicating new episodes. It’s great to be able to follow actors and get notifications whenever something they starred in is on. The notifications 15 mins before a show airs are perfect for me. I read these reviews and can’t believe them! It’s a free app so totally understandable that revenue has to come from somewhere. I’m perfectly happy to scroll past a few ads if that’s what it takes to keep it free. I’ve used this app everyday for well over a year, haven’t had a single pop up ad nor have I had any loud ads. As far as the other complaints, they’re all user error, not the apps fault! Duh if you don’t want to get a notification for every single episode then set it for “new episodes only”. All of them were like that. If I can sort out how to use the many convenient features and tailor it to fit my needs, everyone should be able to.

New App Is Sooo Slow!!!. I don’t love the new app. It is sooo slow. It takes quite a while just to pull up TV options. The new app also provides very little detail if clicking on a program for insight. In the case of sports it provides almost nothing. For NBA and NFL games it often won’t even tell you which teams are playing. If looking for college basketball, you have to click on everything labeled “college basketball” to see which teams are playing. Lastly, there doesn’t seem to be a way to choose what you want to see when the app starts up. I just use it for TV listings so I have to wait for the start-up to slowly appear, then go to TV listing...which also is very slow, then to the time I’m looking for...again very slow. Frustrating to say the least. Please either go back to the prior version or figure out how to make it a better functional user experience.

Hot Mess. I have many questions and nowhere to go to ask about this site. How do I get from channel 5 to channel 1201 for example, without scrolling all the way up and then back? Where is the program summary? Why is the listing so small? It is really hard to see and can’t be enlarged. Where is the program news site? How to I find these answers? Help! What a disappointment this update is! Could we have the option to return to the old set up? I’ve been checking to see if you have fixed any of this new app but no such luck! I can’t use it. Update: still bad...waiting for an update with improvements...where is the program summary? Couldn’t you at least give us that? Moved on over to TV Listings Plus. I keep checking to see if you fixed anything but I guess you aren’t going to 😩. Second update.....still can’t use it! Bummer.....I really liked the old version.

The Basics are Gone. Way to go backwards for those of us that watch over the air TV. We stream as well, but you’ve absolutely messed up for OTA things. First, you can no longer click on a station to see what their broadcast lineup is for the day, a feature you’ve had for as long as I can remember. Secondly, you’ve eliminated the Sports tab at the bottom of the opening screen. Just gone. There is no way to get a view of sports broadcasting for the day on over the air channels. Apparently TV Guide has a way of not caring about their users. I purchased a TV (first flat screen) and paid more for it because TV Guide Listings were built in to it. Not long after, they abandoned the service, making the TV harder to use than if it never existed. Now they remove the very basics of a guide in this app. If there was a way to go back to the previous version, I’d do it in a heartbeat. Streaming services already have their guides. They don’t need yours as well. That seems to be your push on this update. In my opinion, a waste of time and resources. Now, I’m off to find a replacement.

Potential But Too Many Stupid Mistakes. I’m not going to enumerate all the things wrong with this new version because plenty of others already have. What I do want to say is that pretty much all the issues are simply a result of LAZY & CARELESS programming and design. For example, something as simple as showing the time of day as 1:3 instead of 1:30 is JUST PLAIN STUPID, and there is no acceptable reason for it under the sun. It’s obvious there was ABSOLUTELY NO QA throughout the entire process. I’m not even sure there was a design. (Maybe you just had a big party where everyone got high & improv’ed it.) And that is just the tip of the iceberg in this excuse of an “improved version”. It is amazing and appalling to me as an IT professional that a company the size TV Guide with the resources available to you would have the hubris to release something a junior programmer would be ashamed of. No wonder so many people are unhappy. Even those who aren’t professionals know better. How is it you don’t? It seems there is potential with the redesign idea ... if only you had hired people who had actually seen a computer before. Regardless, it looks like you’ll need a complete re-do to fix all the issues.

Terrible new version (v6.0.0). I’d give this new version 0 stars if it was an option. The last version was better. It lets you pick your favorite channels by selecting the little hearts; however, when scrolling you still see those you didn’t favorite in the guide even though it has “Favorites” identifying the list. As you scroll down you get to the all channels that does include all channels offered by your cable or satellite service. It does let you identify your streaming services but not clear where these are shown. Plus I don’t want to see the tile that takes up half of the page with a bunch of info about some selected shows that lets you swipe left to scroll though the selections. The app also doesn’t give you any options for selecting privacy settings, etc. though it does let you limit channels to HD but that’s pretty much it. I will be deleting this app and start using my cable company’s guide.

Just Awful. I echo most recent reviews by questioning why TV Guide had to change their perfectly good app. I specifically used this app to search for upcoming listings BY ACTOR. I do film research and it was so convenient for me to search by names to see what films/TV might be airing for a specific performer vs. having to search every single one of their films. Well, this update took that function away. Now, you can only search by title. I don’t understand why you would eliminate that ability...seems like a giant step backward for an app to actually do less now than it did for years before! I have delayed deleting the app since I was hoping perhaps TV Guide might update it to bring back the “Search By Actor Name” function or listen to the overwhelming amount of recent reviews that HATE the update and just go back to the perfectly fine app they had a few months ago. Alas, nothing has changed on either front so I guess I will just uninstall it...it now serves no purpose and is merely taking up space on my phone.

What a disaster. I started getting notifications about the new update for this app weeks ago. With much fanfare it was rolled out, and all I could think was 'THIS is what all the fuss was about?!' It's unmitigatedly awful. Tiny, crowded print, muddy, ugly colors, terrible user interface, next to no ability to customize. No information on the episode when you click on it, wrong listings, no longer has the useful, and often hilarious reviews of movies, but general info pablum. Slow to load, buggy, unhelpful. I told myself to hold off on judging the update until I was used to it. But instead of 'getting used to it', I find myself disliking it more and more every time I pull it up. The bosses at TV Guide should probably institute mandatory drug testing for the app development division. This shouldn’t have been released, but buried in a shallow grave in the woods. Will be deleting the app, and looking for a usable replacement. After years of using their app, it’s amazing to see TV Guide has gone this much off the rails.

HATE HATE HATE this update. You have made what USED to be an easy to use and useful app into an unusable mess. Same complaints as many other reviewers, the primary issue for me are 1) the inability to easily search for a show and 2) once located, the inability to just tap the listing to learn about the specific episode. Tried to find out what time the Golden Globe Awards were on, I got 20 listings for various shows about the Golden Globes (pre-show , post-show, fashion wrap ups) from 2003-present, even Joan & Melissa Rivers shows...and Joan Rivers has been dead since 2014. But no listing for tonight’s show. I finally gave up after searching four different ways with no success. Tried to find out the guests/topics on an episode of CBS Sunday Morning, and initially just got a generic description that it provides news and features on multiple subjects. When I clicked today’s show, I got one sentence lifted out of the initial generic description, and still no specifics about the episode. This is typical of the show descriptions. The guide accessed on my TV has all sorts of specific information about the topics and guests and episodes. This app USED to have that information and was easy searchable as well. It’s basically useless now.

The new design is hot garbage. I’ve used this app for years and always found what I was looking for easily using the search function. I really only use it for sports and if I wanted to know what channel a specific football team was playing on, it was easily found using search. Those days are gone and search is no longer useful in the least. Try searching Nascar to find out which channels have Nascar programming or the races this week. 20+ results and not one of them is related to anything currently airing on TV or tells what channel or time. The results are more like an IMDB list showing movies and documentaries from years ago instead of what’s actually on this week. Also, what is the point of adding streaming services? TV Guide is for finding what time or channel something is on, absolutely no point when it comes to streaming. What time is Stranger Things on? Anytime you want. How about Fleabag? Anytime you want. Zero reason to include them in this app. Total garbage!

Whoever Is Responsible For The “Update” Needs To Be FIRED!!!. If this app is what you call an “improvement”, they need right change the definition of improvement. Have you ever heard the phrase ~ “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”??? The TV Guide app was FINE the way it was, and, as another reviewer pointed out, anyone with an old, but still perfectly usable iPad, etc., and cannot update to IOS13 or later, can NOT get the new app & had no choice to keep the old, perfectly fine app. Unless &/or until you actually “improve” instead of RUINING the app, I will be going elsewhere for TV listings. And, as the other reviewer stated, I can’t imagine WHY you would want to knowingly reduce your customer base. Whoever is responsible for this TRAIN WRECK of a “New, Improved” app, should be fired & sent back to school to take Programming For Beginners. Thanks for NOTHING...actually, WORSE than nothing. I can get better information by using the INFO button on my remote control.

WHAT A MESS!!!!. I would give this new app zero stars, but that choice is not available. SOME OF THE NEW PROBLEMS WITH THIS NEW APP that the old app didn’t have: Individual listings no longer have program descriptions, so one has to blindly select a show without knowing what that particular episode is about and the fact that they’re labeled NEW is not always true ‘cause many have often aired before. When you click on a daily listing, you’re taken to a page with NO program details, but with “latest programs” listings which often include shows that have aired DECADES ago and have no relation to the present. Also, current listings under “SEE ALL” are often listed/dated as airing the day before, even though one arrives at this page directly from the present-day listings page. ALSO, There is no home page or account page where one would adjust, edit, revise one’s personal or provider information . ALSO, the Spanish-language Univision listing (Miami Channel 29/WLTV, Comcast Channel 9), has been erased and labeled as “no longer broadcasting”, which is incorrect. This is the country’s largest, most important national Hispanic network AND IT HAS NEVER GONE OFF THE AIR. I can’t imagine why TV Guide has allowed all these errors to continue. If they’re not corrected soon, you’re going to lose many viewers. PLEASE TAKE CARE OF THIS!

Good. I use this app pretty often sometimes and then I also have breaks where I don’t use it at all. Along the way there have been some glitches but like any other app, that’s going to happen as frustrating as that may seem.... Especially when you need it. For the majority of the time it’s pretty accurate and matches what I see. I do not have cable or satellite tv and with that comes no guide on tv so this works great when I want to take a glimpse at what’s on without actually scanning each channel. I have noticed lately that there is at least 1 new channel, that I know of, for those who use an antenna. In my area (Midwest) it is 6.5 Start TV. When I do land on that channel it doesn’t show the info as to what is currently on and it is not listed on this app yet so I do not usually last too long watching it. It would be nice to have the channels on the app update as soon as the channels on TV do but I am not a programmer so I haven’t the slightest clue how hard it is to update apps more often. Some I have weekly, some are monthly and some are yearly. I guess it depends on how often those are using the app and how bad the glitches are. I have had this app on various phones since about the time apps were available and I haven’t let go so far.

No longer a fan of TV Guide app. I am looking for a new guide for my TV viewing. I find the print on the listing page too small & too cramped. I miss the ability to see what shows are coming up. I miss the reviews of what episode is airing. I miss being able to see what a particular channel has to offer for the week. I feel the app has been redesigned to encourage paid TV movies & TV episodes. I think one star is a generous offering. You went from number one to last place! I continue to hate this app! I can look up programs as each hour becomes available. No longer can I see what programs from my watch lists are available at that particular time, nor can I look to the near future what programs may be available to watch. Also I cannot look at what programs are being offered on a particular station over a period of time in the near future. 90% of its value has disappeared. This app is set up only for those who can afford paid TV. I’m not in that category. I give this app a -10 rating!

No info, slow & ads galore.. What happened to this app. I would use this everyday. First thing I noticed (in this “new version “) was how slow it was to load. Now there are 3 categories on the bottom... Discover, Listings & Watchlist. What I noticed is that it opens up to “Discover.” Ok, whatever... sort of a commercial for shows out there. All you have to do is click is the next button over to “Listings” to get the TV Guide we all want. But then I noticed.... WHAT! There are only 2 buttons. Once I. A while the “Listings” button was gone. I had to quit-reopen, quit-reopen.... quit-reopen to get the “Listings” button to reappear. Come on. Next, now I’ve been noticing the info for most shows only has a general description of the show/program & not what the show is about... or (talk show), who is on. It just seems that this “new” version that was hyped up for us was all just hyped up for advertising & people who love to see ads in their apps.

“Streamlined” into Unusable. The update has changed and taken away features and options in an attempt to streamline, but has really just made everything less usable. Looking at listings, it’s harder to read the times and see the lines indicating time slots. The watchlist now displays the upcoming shows airing in a slideshow that you have to manually scroll through and does not list the times or other airings of the show, even if you tap on it. It used to be you could read a list of upcoming shows at a glance organized by day, now it’s clearly meant to be a flashy design choice. I even sent an email asking about this feature and received no response, even though it’s been over a week. I can’t adjust the settings much anymore either, for example, choosing a different start page. You can set your streaming apps, which would be nice if there was any purpose to it. Some people have said they are included in the Discover section, but I have yet to see anything related to it. Streaming shows should have their own section to begin with. Overall a pointless update that removed the features and elements that were most useful. Update: to find the airings of a show in your Watchlist, you have to tap on the show, scroll down to “Where to watch” then tap on “More.” I shouldn’t have to take three steps to view information that used to be available at a glance or just one step

UPDATED: Listings have returned after update! Improved app.. Update(April 6, 2021): The listing are back! They’re actually better than before. Easier to read and access information. You can set preferences so it launches straight in to the listings at the current time. More clearly organized descriptions and information about the shows/movies when you select them. Thanks for listening and bringing back the features that matter most. Now it is a true TV Guide again. Even supports 24 hour clock. Previous Review: Wow! They had an okay app for checking television listings. Then, one update and it is all gone. I thought I had opened the wrong application. Need to find another app. So much for “TV Guide”? Who would even think what they just did was a good idea? Now Useless. Uninstalling. (Cannot rate this with no stars. Don’t want to give it one. It isn’t even the same app!)

What a waste!. I had more or less happily used this app for years, which I would have rated four stars until the recent rewrite. Why rebuild an app from the ground up when it was already working quite well? All I can imagine is the overhaul being called for by upper management and handed off to people who have never before written a software specification, then developed by a contractor, without user input, without usability testing, who, when “finished”, simply dumped it off, took their money and ran. The low-level project managers can now report, “There, fixed it!” and move on to their next task. I don’t mean to impinge the integrity of anyone involved; I’m just guessing—you know how this works, don’t you?—they didn’t have the direction, resources or skills to pull off this project, whatever it was meant to accomplish (unless it was meant to drive users away). I mean, can’t you even see that the details screen of a program that’s showing *today* says it played YESTERDAY? I’m not going to list all that’s broken about this new version (that’s what usability testing is for!) But … if TV Guide really wants to fix this thing, they can simply reinstate the old app. … I’ve now switched to the 5-star TV Listings Plus app instead of the new, dysfunctional, TV Guide app. TV Listings Plus incorporates all (and even more!) of the functionality of the old, properly functioning, TV Guide app.

Push notifications. Push notifications have been down for weeks now, while it continues to just say temporary, it does not feel very temporary. This is the only reason why I use this app is for the notifications to not miss a show and know when things are coming on, without this, the app is almost useless. And combine that with the glitches it still continues to have after many version updates. The wrong time is loaded consistently and even after changing will go back to an incorrect time. When showing programs on “tonight” under my watchlist, it doesn’t actually show anything on for that night, but only shows episodes for the coming week but not that specific night. So unless I scroll through all the channels for each time under the listings, I have no way of knowing what’s on that night of the programs I watch. Also when searching for a show recently, there have been a lot of shows just not showing up at all in the search results. And the app freezing when I go to type something in to the search bar. I feel like with each update this app gets worse and worse. PLEASE FIX ALREADY. It used to be such a good app before it was completely changed and consequently ruined

Very very upset. I used to love LOVEthis app but recently I got on and couldn’t get the recent date shows or the next day shows without trouble. I just thought it was a fluke so I was ok it happened Now I get on and it makes me update it I figure ok but not happy but it happens but then I open it and BOOM it can NOT use it at all. it’s a stupid big ad (something about immigrants and Soc sec, another said something about right wing, now jewelry I just don’t know what it going to be BUT it definitely is NOT any tv guide in any way, shape or form. Not even behind the box. I tried hitting the x It will NOT close it went to: ads served by google Ad options Send feedback Why this ad? I am so beyond upset and frustrated especially since my 23 yr old had stage 4 cancer AND bedridden and wanted to know what is on. I DO NOT have time to play with this stupid ad to not even get to see the tv guide. My poor son just wanted to know if any new episodes tonight and this is the only way to find out for him especially since he don’t feel good. Thanks a lot for messing it all up for him, he don’t Ask for much but at times wants to know what on tv. Ps I’m so over politic stuff and the divide if I want to see something I will look for it I do NOT need it shoved in my face like I feel it was. You have no idea how upset I am at the moment especially since I was trying to be cool about the app being weird the other day

New app. The new app is a disappointment you took something that worked well and traded it for something that looks pretty but is almost useless The new app has No useful search engine for for listings the old app had a great search engine for example if I wanted to see a list of all the upcoming shows about Valentine’s Day or Christmas I would type it in and I would get a list of all the upcoming shows on that subject the new app has No list of all the upcoming shows and movies and actors on my watch list while the old app alerted me about 2 weeks out if something on my list was going to be shown I hope you can fix this or give the option of going back to the old app

App has completely stopped working. Final edit: After deleting and reinstalling all day, FINALLY it picks up my location. But now my account no longer exists - but funnily enough, when I try to sign up anew it tells me my account already exists. Finally start from scratch with a new made-up email and what do I immediately notice? THE GRID IS STILL OFF BY AN HOUR. I have finally decided this app is just a phenomenal piece of junk. There’s a reason it has only a few stars average rating. Sadly, I liked it because I don’t watch enough TV to remember when the few shows I watch come on and really made use of the reminders feature. But I also don’t watch enough TV to fool with such a piece of crap app. Deleting for good! —————————— Despite there having been no update, suddenly my grid and all my alerts were off by an hour. I made sure my provider had not been changed, but I couldn’t even pull it up as the app said there were no providers, despite the fact that I live in the heart of one of the largest metropolitan areas in the US. So I deleted the app, cycled my phone, and reinstalled the app. It STILL says there are no providers in the area and will not go past that screen. I am stuck, cannot go any further. My previous rating was only 3 stars so I never thought it was a great app but now it’s a virtual paperweight on my home screen.

App keeps closing. Needs some serious updating. This app keeps cutting out. Though I have used this app for quite some time, it has serious problems that needs fixing The developer has updated this app and now seems to be working much better. My initial response was typed quite fast since the app would only work for a short time, it would shut off and then I would have to begin again. I wasn’t sure if I would be able to type a response fast enough to the developer before this app would reset so the developer could know there was a problem to look into. Thanks for the update, this has been an excellent app and I look forward to using it for the foreseeable future.

Flashy? YES. Accurate basics? NO.. The much-anticipated return of CourtTV has already occurred in nearly every planned area; yet, the TV Guide app, even when refreshed wherever possible, does not show my channel that it is on right now at all in the broadcast TV listing. However, another app I have that is nowhere near as sophisticated or bloated as TV Guide, immediately alerted me via a pop-up that there was a new channel added to my broadcast area, CourtTV, and asked if I wanted to add it to my channels list. The whole process took three seconds. It’s times like this when you start to realize that apps that splash videos, articles, excessive advertisements, and flashy notifications at the users don’t necessarily have the capability of performing the most basic function that you needed it to when you downloaded it in the first place. I have had two apps on my phone for nearly 3 years, and it’s mind-boggling that TV Guide can’t even perform the most basic function of displaying accurate TV listings, even though the technology obviously exists because my plain Jane TV listings app found the new channel instantly without my even having to lift a finger.

Where’s Australia on your country list?!?. Should make it clearer this only services North American viewers before people sign up. Really disappointing as the app offers some great opportunities to creat a cross-streaming service watch list which is something I really want and need.

No Australia. Doesn’t list Australia as a country

No Australia. almost 2023 and Australia and most other countries not listed. US centric ‘world view’ - avoid

Dose not cover free to air tv. Downloaded the app. And can not get free to air tv networks. In ADELAIDE IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA

Disappointing. Still no Australia!

Date Function. I generally like the app. The one thing I notice is the date function doesn’t always work. If you choose the current date from a previous date, it will quickly switch back to the previous date.

Useless. This "big exciting update" seems to have made the app useless in Canada. My provider - Telus - is nowhere to be found.

Obviously not intended for Canadians. Streaming services are American…it doesn’t have any of the major Canadian streaming sources (Crave, CTV, Global, CityTv, CBC Gem, etc.). Useless in Canada, in other words. Not sure why they bothered to release the app here.

Doe the task well. This is a solid app. Works well in Canada. Ads are very intrusive tho; would pay for an ad-free version. 3 stars because of all the ads; 4.5 stars for a future ad-free version.

impossible to choose correct provider. App doesn’t seem to work correctly for Canada. There is no choice for Rogers Cable in Toronto, only Bell Satillite

Can’t stand it!. This TV Guide is very difficult to navigate. I can’t find some of the channels that I love to watch; I can’t stand it!!!!! 😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬

Can’t Even Open It. I’d like to use this app but it hasn’t worked for months and it still doesn’t work even after this latest update. It simply tries to open and then crashes.

Where is tv listing?. The new version is a disaster. Where is tv listing?

Not happy!. Freezes all the time and won’t display listings. Miss the old version.

Update. We wait forever for the transition for the app to tell us less information

The app isn’t working well. Please fix please and thank you so much I still love this app but It isn’t working too well the App needs fixing there’s issue With this app the app needs to be fixed

Ads are out of control. uninstalled.

Worse since the upgrade. Forget about adding to Watchlist. It doesn’t work!

Nice!. Works Great. Can find when all my shows are airing and when and what time they’re airing again. 👍

TV Guide App doesn’t work. TV Guide App doesn’t work

Meh. It’s quite slow - can’t scroll very quickly.

TV Guide settings don’t work in IOS 13. App crashes when accessing settings

All the listings have disappeared!?!. The update of August 30th has completely wiped out all the TV listings! Seriously?!? A TV guide with no listings? Come on, please get this fixed!

Terrible!. No accurate listings for our area and a useless search option.

Update. Doesn’t work 🤦‍♀️ it was better before

Terrible format. “Old” TV Guide was much easier to follow. Only need to see /limit channels that we subscribe to. Too much devoted to streaming! Series/episode no. not shown on daily listing. Inaccurate and jumbled schedule descriptions! Difficult to follow.

Lost Channels. Recently lost listings for some local stations: Hamilton and City TV. Reloaded the app but no difference. Disappointed.

Doesn’t work half the time. Very slow to add listings and a lot of time it’s blank or partially blank and if you scroll back up to have another look it’ll be blank if you open a second time without swiping it from your screen it won’t load. Pretty simple app concept there shouldn’t be this many issues.

Not ready for use. App doesn’t have ability to switch between SD/HD/faves/all channels. Many listings are blank. No way to favorite a channel and have it applied

Way too many ads!. I wanted to see if this was a better app than OnTv. After downloading, I couldn’t believe all the ads, pop ups and non stop redirects to retailers and additional aps. The ap itself maybe be good but the wasted time in ads and redirects has put me off and it’s now deleted. Come on TV Guide, what were you thinking. Very disappointing.

Buggy interface, does not shows Over The Air. Although on the interface it shows to select Antenna/Cable/Satellite, it doesn't let you choose antenna only. I don't have cable nor satellite and it forces me to select either a canle provider or a satellite provider. When I tap on the arrow to go back, it doesn't respond and have to forcibly close the application.

Not Great in Canada. To find a local CATV provider it is necessary to SCROLL through a non-searchable list of hundreds of city and town names. Some genius thought it would be ok to list every city, after all, how many cites and towns can Canada have? Look at a world map… it is a big country!

Ok app now. The “new version” made it impossible to find what was on for our city in Canada. You fixed what wasn’t broken. I uninstalled it. Now, after a few updates, reinstalled it and good to see the provider list has finally been been updated. A bit slow in populating the program list. One option should be added - ability to clear the search history.

New app unusable. You just messed up what used to be a perfectly good app. No longer shows any listings for my area and freezes constantly. This is fully geared towards the US. Support for Canada was fine before, but it’s useless garbage now. Forced to delete an app I used to use all the time.

Should be simple. TV Guide has made a simple TV listing complicated

Too much. This app has just too much crap in it for a tv guide. All you need is an app too show your channels and be able to mark your favourite shows and be able to see them and not watch them on Apple iTunes. Go back to the basics or just have a basic tv guide.

Sick of ads. I actually like the app, but like most reviewers, I hate ads. Why not offer a paid ad free version? I’m looking elsewhere now.

Nothing Amazing But Perfectly Functional. I recommend this app. It's a bit cluttered with features I don't want, but the features I do want are handled very well. Ignore all the old reviews saying it doesn't work in Canada, because it works perfectly in Canada now.

Used to be pretty good. Seriously??? Deleted.

Great app but please rethink the synopses. A very handy app but it seems to copy/paste people’s reviews from IMBD or a similar site instead of an actual blurb as to what the program is about. So it’s hit and miss if you look up the program description.

Unable to click cancel when searching. Im unable to click cancel when searching. Ios16 with an xs max

Perfect on iOS 15.4. No more crashes ! 🤗

New apt. The old version was sufficient. This too confusing

Missing channels. Does not carry all channels

The App is Ruined!. After the latest facelift update to the app it has become completely useless to me as my location has been taken away! Please add support for Vaughan, Ontario, Canada!

Terrible. This app barely ever works. When it does work, it’s glitchy and annoying.

Terrible. I can never find anything. It’s all over the place!

TV Guide “pushes” the wrong products!. TV Guide requires a *Feature* the permits me to Add to… BLOCK LIST, rather than wishlist. The BLOCK LIST would be shows that I WANT NEVER SUGGESTED ! That way when I select “Not Interested”, TV Guide will take such declaration to not suggest any of it again. That’s the missing *Feature* in TV Guide. And, oh by the way NEVER SUGGEST CONTENT ON APPLE+ BECAUSE I SHALL NOT SUBSCRIBE! I CANNOT AFFORD TO SUBSCRIBE TO ANY ADDITIONAL STREAMING SERVICES, TV GUIDE.

Works well but ugly. Good lord TV Guide. How old is this app? And still I can’t change the background colour?!?

No option for antennae. It forces you to pick a cable or sat provider but a lot of people these days cut the cable.

Great. The new version is excellent,big improvement just like used to br

No paperback. This app works excellently with my Bell Satellite system.

Please revert to old format. New interface is awful. This was once a useful app but is no longer functional since the change.

Garbage. It wants WAYYYY too much info to simply show listings in a specific time one

Not Canadian. This does not filter to what is available in Canada for streaming. Does not offer “crave” as as an app selection but offers “Hulu”. Shows programs are available on certain streaming service which is true only in the US. Would love a Canadian guide option for streaming shows…

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Extremely Buggy. I like the TV Guide app when it works. We don’t get cable so this serves the purpose of seeing what’s on. The trouble is, half the time it doesn’t work. It will try for a couple of minutes to retrieve the data, then give an error message. Or the app and listings will load, but I can’t look at the descriptions of shows. When it does work, it is sloooowwww. Closing and reopening the app makes no difference. I thought it might be because of my aging iPad, but I recently bought a new one and it’s just the same. I made an account with TV Guide and have done all upgrades. It’s the same story with my iPhone 6S. TV Guide does the best job on local listings, but the app is close to useless.

Alot of Poor design issues. Here’s a list of things the designer’s need to fix. First of all the app should default to pulling up shows NOW, not the last time I used the app. 2). There are large groups of blanked out areas of shows in random time slots. You have to click on the empty black space to find out what it is. 3). It CANNOT figure out how to display shows after midnight correctly. It refuses to recognize IT IS THE NEXT DAY, not today repeated. 4). You cant at all figure out how to change your favorite channels. How do I add or delete? Unuseable. It’s obvious the developers dont test the app out on a variety of phones. Mine is the latest iPhone 14 Pro. There’s a few of those on the market, ya think? Untested, not validated, and far less useable than earlier versions of the app.

New App is A huge step backwards. Although there’s more features to “sell” shows, you can’t even see episode info on the current selection. I’d like to know what’s in now. Isn’t that the idea of the app? The landscape view is also gone. There’s also the issue that you have the “favorites” scroll listing followed by the “all channels” listing. If you have cable, that can be a significant scroll. Why not have a toggle switch to flip between the two. I’m really disappointed in the update. If you could only put (back) these missing features, you’d have a 5 star instead of 1.

Definitely not ready for prime time yet. I downloaded and tried it anyway despite all the bad reviews the new version has. Contrary to what some reviewers say, I was able to easily set it up to show me the local over-the-air TV channels. But this new version apparently hasn’t been tested very well before release. Here’s just one example of what’s hokey: The time display across the top is in a stupid way: It’ll say “21:3” to mean 9:30 PM, for example. The app also appears to be quite a bit slower than the old version, and seems to be using more of my (rather limited) Internet data bandwidth — probably to download those video ads that play in the background. A shame I was forced to “upgrade” — the old version was completely disabled for me, forcing me to switch even though the new version is clearly not ready for prime time yet.

ALMOST USABLE AGAIN. FINALLY I CAN SIGN IN WITH Apple and I just used the feature I like that you added streaming video service OPTIONS TOO This app IS NOT YET 5 stars After some exploration of the new design of this app I must note MISSING EPISODE SUMMARIES on shows and movies in the listings Like say for an episode of Spongebob when tapping the episode listing I expect to know what episode is on at a certain time and I want a short summary of the episode Example: Spongebob Squarepants Larry’s Gym: Larry opens up a gym in Bikini Bottom and Spongebob becomes a member. I would also like the OPTION to be able to set notification alerts for new episodes of my shows to as low as 5 minutes before they air

Looks great; lacks detail. I’m not loving this new version. Maybe because it will just take some getting used to, but I used the last version multiple times a day and this one doesn’t seem nearly as convenient. There’s no episode descriptions any more (tough when you’re watching a marathon of SVU, for example). I also liked knowing within the description when a particular show or movie would air again. It looks much better than the old version, but the details were better before. I hope these things will be remedied

Not enough episodes shown in Watchlist. I check my Watchlist regularly so I can tell when new episodes of my favorite shows are on. But if there are more than a dozen or so episodes of a show in my Watchlist, the list of episodes by date only lists the first dozen or so. For a show in syndication (e.g., Law & Order SVU) there's so many episodes over the next two weeks that the one new episode doesn't show in the list because only the first dozen or so episodes are shown. This is not a problem when searching in the Listings. If I search for Law & Order (even without the SVU designation), it returns with dozens and dozens of episodes for the entire two weeks. Please remove the limitation on how many episodes are shown in the Watchlist so that all episodes in the next two weeks can be shown.

New is Not Always Better. I was thrilled when I saw TVGuide was going to update the app. It needed a sleeker, more up to date look. I do like that it provides info on what shows or movies are on what streaming network but that is the only change I can tolerate. This version is awful!! (1) The alerts are gone. I used these regularly. (2) There is no more news section. (3) Why did the synopsis of the episode go away? When I click on show, I don’t need to know its entire background or every episode made. I want to know exactly what episode is playing at that time. (4) Does anyone know where to find a setting feature?! (5) It’s just not user friendly and it takes forever to find out anyway. I know that change takes a bit to get used to, but.... Ugh! Please return our favorite options!! Or allow us to use the old version!!

Used to good. Now stinks!. This app used to be awesome. However, last week a message popped up stating that there might be issues while they updated the app in the next few days. So I dealt with it freezing and not working. Today I got fed up with it freezing and not working, so I deleted it and reinstalled it. Well, now it won’t let me sign in at all. I’ve attempted to sign in with my email, when that didn’t work, I tried signing in with FB, and when that didn’t work, I tried signing in with apple. Well it finally signed me in, but when I then attempted to choose which tv service I use, it freezes and doesn’t do anything!! Each time I attempt to sign in, it still doesn’t let me sign in. I get a message that says “Oops something went wrong” or it just spins and does nothing. This now stinks! I cannot get the app to work at all. Fix this app so it works!!! I’d give it zero stars if I could!

Been a fan for years. I have been using the TV Guide app for I don’t know how long and loved it! I can mark my favorite shows and get reminders just before they start - wonderful!! With the latest upgrade I’m feeling the love for: 1. the “New” show markings. 2. being able to see more hours across the page instead of just one and a half hours! NOT feeling the love for: 1. the listing page is very busy with the red heart on the page. If I mark I want to only see my favorites, I don’t need a heart to tell me I have them listed. 2. the watch list it’s confusing. I check the check mark but I don’t know what it’s being marked for. I can’t choose if I just want to be notified of only new episodes or all episodes. 3. not knowing when the reminder will let me know when the show will start. It’s probably not possible, but I’d like to be able to set two reminders for a favorite show - one about 30 minutes before it starts, and another one five minutes before it starts. Something to consider: things don’t need to be changed if they are working well.

Update ruined app! Again! And yet again!. Not sure what you were thinking with this update but it ruined what was an awesome app and made the app unusable. IF you can get the listings to load it takes forever. You have greatly embarrassed the name “TV Guide”! If I was in charge I would fire the person that made this decision. Zero stars! Update: Another update to app and you make it worse! How much worse can you make it! Stop updating!!! I lost my favorites so thanks for nothing! Zero stars! Update: Another update and now I can’t see any TV listings for my favorites. An app for TV listings without the TV listings is useless. More updates, more problems. Keep updating since your goal is obviously to be a terrible worthless app! Zero stars! ***Please go back to your real job of TV listings and outsource your app development to real programmers!!!***

I Did recommend this app.. I’ve use this app for several years, over the years IOccasionally had trouble logging in to get my profile. But since I installed iOS 4.2, the background of the app to do a search is crappy. This of course is APPLES’s FAULT. But since I really use this app a lot, this is a real problem. I’ve always looked at a lot of TV but now that I’m in my 60s, I have more time on my hands plus with the pandemic I’m actually staying indoors by myself in my apartment. If the Developer can update the App’s functionality to do a future search, it would be greatly Aappreciated. I should repeat this is the result of Apple’s update.

Listings have taken a back seat. A far, far back seat.. I really appreciate that TV Guide has taken such a bold step to include the greatly expanded viewing options now available to us, but unfortunately, they’ve sacrificed what should be their primary service: to provide listings and episode information. Listings should be the first page, not the second. (At the very least, allow the user to customize which screen the app opens to.) Also, the show-promoting graphics/banners at the top of the listings panel are far too intrusive; use that space for the listings! And finally, where is the episode-specific info?? Tapping on a show’s listing brings up generic info about the series, rather than a summary about the specific ep that’s airing. That lack of info makes this app all but useless, sorry to say.

Cannot select favorite channels. iPhone 6S, iOS 13.1.2 I’ve been using this app for 3-4 years. When it works, I really like it. Every couple of months it would lose my favorite channels and I would have to add all my favorites again. No rhyme or reason that I could deduce. Now, I cannot select favorites at all. When I am at the screen to select favorites and tap on a channel, after I remove my finger I can see a check mark on the right side of the channel for about a 1/2 second, but it doesn’t stick. I have seen at least one other review that mentioned this exact issue. I haven’t been able to use this app for a couple of months now and I really miss using it. I keep hoping for an update that might fix this, but the last update was 4 months ago. :-/ I just updated to iOS 13.1.2 yesterday, but that had no effect on this issue. Please fix this!

TV Guide new app. This is a very disappointing upgrade. Instead of a step up, it’s a big step backwards. It takes forever to load. It does not have the summary of each show, as the last APP did. When you tap on a show on this app it switches to a screen that seems to take you to streaming services that have the same shows, but still doesn’t tell you anything about the episode you are considering watching, but instead directs to to a list of episodes on streaming services. This APP is not at all easy to understand, or for that matter informative as the previous app. Can not recommend.

Used to love the TV Guide app. After several attempts and deleting the App and starting from scratch, I was finally able to find the listings. All the other streaming info was confusing. That did throw me off when trying to find the listings. I was upset that something that wasn’t broken, was fixed. I did contact CBS, but I managed to find the listings on my own, after wasting a lot of time. CBS did return my email in a timely fashion. I appreciate that. Thank you. This new arrangement Is difficult for me to read on my phone, so I am not thrilled with it. I think it is the dark background. That is why I am not giving the App a higher star rating.

Disappointed. I’m disappointed in the revisions of the new guide. First, the listings are smaller on my phone which requires reading glasses. While I do like that all my favorite shows are on one list, I can no longer tap on the network symbols and see all the show times for the rest of the current day and beyond. This has always made it easier to see the upcoming shows and time schedule which made planning my day much easier. Also, the listings for TNT are off by 3 hours on the west coast. If I want to watch a certain show at the listed time of 3pm, the show was actually shown at 12:00 pm on the West Coast. I was hoping this would be cirrectd with the new app but no such luck. Overall, I prefer the old guide. Perhaps a separate guide for streaming channels would be a better idea and return the network channels to the previous program guide.

Check after updating. UPDATE: I'm updating my previous review in case this happens to anyone else. I had an older version of this app and when I updated initially the listings option wasn't even in the tool bar. As far as I knew it didn't exist. I deleted the app completely and tried installing it one more time just to be sure. I have listings now. I've never said this in a review before, but I'd give negative stars if I could. I used to use this app to look at TV listings. Which should be a basic function of TV guide. Now it now longer shows listings it just lets you search for shows or displays clickable thumbnails of different show promo posters. I guess those are the shows that paid to be featured. I just want to see whats on so I can choose. Way to get rid of the basic functionality.

Eh. The new version is very disappointing. I’ve been using TV guide for decades and I had to delete it today. It’s hard to read with such a small font. You cannot find out easily the episode information on the show that you want to watch(the shows bio isn’t as paramount) and the repeat showtimes aren’t available. If they are, it’s difficult and time consuming to tap all the many “extra” tabs to find them. So dissatisfied with this version. As they say, “Jack of all trades, but MASTER IF NONE”. This has earned the master of none with this version. I will add back when the foundation on which TV guide was built is restored with today’s technology. Not enough words to express how disappointing the changes have brought to this institutions ease of use to the everyday household over all these years. Poof and bye-bye:-( TV guide 😭😫🤬

New and NOT improved!. I have used the TV Guide app for years (and bought the printed version for decades). With the newest incarnation of the app, I am about to delete it permanently. Why? Short answer is it doesn’t give me any useful information about what to watch. It only lists what programs are showing, without any relevant information about which episode will show or which teams are playing on a sport broadcast. Since the majority of broadcast programs are scheduled, i already know what is on. I need to know details and with the last updates this information is no longer available. I am not getting enough value to justify using it as it is much longer. If it reverts back to the old information stream, it would deserve 4 stars. If not, then 0 is more accurate (but lists as 1 star as these rating systems do not allow for zero scores...)

New app lacks much. TV Guide before the new version was a very good app that only functioned about 60%-70% of the time, so I was looking forward to the new version. While the descriptions of the movies have greatly improved (and they were quite good before) and there are now trailers included, which is a huge improvement, one can no longer tell where the movies are because they are not highlighted. Same with sports. It’s like the app went from 3D to 2D, or from color to black and white. It’s unfortunate, and I’m now looking for other apps and websites, which is too bad since I was reasonably happy with the original app and had no real reason to shop around. What’s the matter with you, TV Guide?

Not much of a guide. TV guide use to be the go to app to find what is on. Sure, it lists the show on at the time. But most of the time there is no information on the actual episode scheduled. The normal season and episode guide with a small description is missing. Instead, the app provides an overview of the whole program. This is fine except we now get the opinion of the show along with an overall description. I don’t want an opinion about the show. I just want to know what the season and episode is is and a brief description. I can make up my own mind on how good or bad the show is. Enough with the reviews. At least provide the basics. And on a phone, the app used to provide the ability to be rotated to give more horizontal time information. Way too much unneeded information, less useful information. Way too much commercial junk. This app has gone way down hill. Looking at other apps to use instead.

Miss the old version so much. The old version was so much better! What is up with the heart next to the channels? I click it thinking it will become a “favorite” channel, but then the next time I’m in the app the channel doesn’t have the heart clicked so that it’s red, and then all the channels that aren’t checked as a favorite are still there where I don’t want them as I either don’t get the channel via antenna or don’t watch so I don’t care to see the listing. I also miss being able to “jump to” a specific day/time to see what will be on tv. I have no watch list anymore and can’t add anything as nothing shows up other than the box that tells me my watchlist is empty and to add by “tapping the + button”. Tried to take off the streaming services I use to see if it actually would give current tv shows, and that’s a big no. This app is a huge disappointment and needs to be scrapped!

Horrible & Frustrating. This is the worst app I’ve ever used! Just trying to log on is a major production, bye don’t enter your password wrong because you will be locked out after 1 failed attempt! It’s a freakin listing of what’s on tv, not highly classified military secrets or something! If you are skilled enough to login on first try get ready for more disappointments, the listings are cluttered and require effort just to try and follow the channel/air time of shows. I’ve had this app for a while and never had a as n issue? In fact, it was very handy. They did a major change to it recently, so major they had to take the entire app out of service for weeks just to implement these changes. Well, imo they wasted a lot of time and money just to completely ruin what was a quality app. I can’t wait to delete this stupid useless app from my phone completely. Way to go tv guide, you win the suckiest piece of crap award for apps.

From The jury is still out after newest update. I use an antenna for local channels and stream everything else. TV Guide was an invaluable app to see what was on my local channels. Now it’s nothing more than a glorified app to promote programs that are on the streaming services. I get that TVG found a way to make revenue, but getting rid of the guide for this new format is inexcusable. Update- I was finally able to update the settings to indicate I use an antenna so the guide is now visible. I was also prompted to sign in AGAIN. Hopefully signing in won’t be required every time I open this app. AND since updating yesterday there is ANOTHER UPDATE. Maybe the developers should have delayed the launch a little longer.

New version. Just upgraded to new version, and very unhappy that the listings no longer rotate for landscape view, which would present two hours of programming. Second HUGE disappointment: Not being able to select a channel and seeing program lineup for that one channel. I used that regularly to scan for upcoming movies on TCM, for example. There also doesn’t seem to be much episode-specific info, either. That may be a temporary issue. With the first two issues pretty much ruining the app I used all the time, I’m going to be checking out the others that are available to replace this one. I know people often have issues with updated apps, and don’t like change, but when two important functions simply disappear, it’s obvious that somebody made some major mistakes, or developed a new version without really exploring the current version’s functions. Edit: It’s getting worse. Now, if you click on a current show for the current date, where it says “Where to watch”, it says “Yesterday on channel ___”. It’s like they released this awful new version and walked away. The info says they want reviews, good or bad, and will respond, but I see no evidence of it.

Worthless for HD over-the-air broadcast schedule!. Nobody connects a TV to an antenna to watch old-school broadcast TV anymore, right? Wrong! The idea with the shiny, new app was, obviously, that nobody needs a schedule when everything (including dinosaur network programming) is available on-demand. Well . . . not exactly everything, like, say, live sports? Yes, I’m an older viewer, but that doesn’t make publishing the broadcast schedule obsolete. What it means is that I have to look up every possible show or broadcast I might want to watch in a stand-alone manner, already supposedly knowing what shows I want to watch and which ones are available, including shows on non-network, *completely free* HD antenna broadcast channels. If I already knew which shows were available. I could simply look them up in their carrier’s app or website, right? So I need TV Guide . . . exactly why? You’ve done a great disservice to people who live on a budget, want to catch free HD over-the-air broadcasting—as mandated by the FCC, by the way—and may scrape to afford even one streaming service among the half-dozen or more being offered, having cut the cable long before doing that was “cool.” Your app has essentially been rendered unusable for me. Thanks, a lot, know-it-all dunderheads. Nice job.

Not accessible with voiceover. Definitely do not like this app. It was fine the way it was before I could find my stations. Yes I use dish network but I’m in a nursing home and we only get 32 channels. So the old app let me pick the channels I wanted to get rid of the ones that were not. Making it very simple to use with voiceover. Now I can’t even go through the time on the grid with voiceover. And there are hundreds of channels that I need to look through and this is not helpful at all. Going to look for a better way to find out what’s on TV. OK I tried it for a while. I managed to figure out how to save favorites channels. The next day I went back and all the favorites were gone. There are too many channels to go through and then try to figure out which version of that channel is the one that’s playing the shows that are on my television. This app has got to go

New Update - Would give 0 or negative stars if possible. The new update has made this app unusable. Everything, including opening the app and loading listings, takes a really long time. The setting to display only HD channels doesn’t actually do anything. The area at the top of the listings page only worked the first time that I opened the app after the update and is now just a large black space. The layout and functionality of the watchlist is confusing and such a downgrade to me that I’m not sure it’s even useful anymore. I didn’t even realize at first that there are no specific episodes for shows on the listings page. How can you have TV listings that don’t show the actual episodes playing and don’t show episode descriptions? All of the features that I used to love are now completely gone or so difficult to use that the app is now useless to me. I have deleted it.

I’m so disappointed in this “new and improved” app. I used to use the TV Guide app to check what was on, look for specific shows, and plan for the future for things I really wanted to see. Now it doesn’t seem to have any search capability to search for either a specific show or a specific channel. I also can’t find a way to jump to a future date. They now serve up a bunch of information about streaming services where most things are on demand once they premier. But that information was easily available from other sources already, and it gives no choice about what I see. I’m finding that this app has been rendered semi useless for my purposes and I’m back to using the on screen guide from cable provider. I’ve always found that cumbersome, but not as bad as this new version of the app. Way to take 2-3 steps back!

Problem with new update. The problems have been fixed and it works well again. I updated my rating to reflect this. Thanks. The new update we just received doesn’t work well. There is always a message on the top of the screen that says “ We couldn’t load the page you were looking for. Reload the app and try again.” If you select a program to view, there is no way to go back to the listings. You have to close the app and start over. Please go back to the previous version or fix this. It worked really well before the last update.

So many ads. I used to love this app to the point I created an account and interacted with the app i.e. mark shows I’d be watching and all that. Now I rarely open it and never sign in because I can’t stand an app that has excessive ads especially those that don’t provide the means or steps to remove them. Ads that you HAVE TO WATCH to watch a video that’s not even as long as the ad. You watch an ad then stop the “free” video cause 10 seconds in cause it’s not what it’s advertised to be about or you’ve seen it before but didn’t remember till you saw the first 10 seconds & so move on to a different video and even though you didn’t finish the video and barely any time has based but a new ad has to be watched. It’s almost as if the app is set to give you an ad every other tap. I’ll stick with the digital cable box’s menu to see what’s on tonight

TV Guide. I have been subscribing to TV Guide since 1953. Each year I am getting less from it. I used to get 52 issues each year then a few years ago I started getting 26 magazines saying that EACH issues contained 2 weeks worth of issues, then a short time ago I only received ONE issue Every 3 weeks and finally I Didn’t receive Any issues last week and this week. When I called to complain I was told that it was the fault of the USPS . I was a letter carrier with the USPS for 25 years and never had a problem. Now TV guide cashed my check for the next year and they apologized and said they will send me a Gmail of the missing issues. I read my email on my iPhone and it is too small to read. Please help me. I am a disabled 84 year old and have depended on my magazine to know what’s on TV. Sincerely, Judy Wynne

Listings seem correct but... Edit: why are you constantly wanting me to re- download the app ? Each time that I try to access the short synopsis of an episode , it requests that I re-download and it never gives access to that info even after I reset my phone. Irritating!! OLD-At first, i couldn't get it to work at all after update. Cutting my phone off to reset it and then back on seemed to help mine. Maybe it will help someone else's. Still, these constant updates always mess up things and the app was better a couple of years ago. But, again, for now, it seems functional so I upgraded the rating.

What happened to the watchlist cable listings!?!?!. I was using this app alllllll the time, everyday. I had my favorite shows bookmarked and then when I clicked on watchlist, it showed which of my shows were showing now, and on which cable channel. One click. NOW, it shows how to watch any of the episodes of my favorite shows that are streaming and a link where I have to **pay** to watch that episode on one of the streaming services. Or if I click on “Where to Watch” “see all”, i have to click “airings” and then it shows alllll the episodes from that morning that day, and allll the episodes for the entire next week. And the listings aren’t even correct- I entered the correct cable service. All I want to do is to click on watchlist and see which of my favorite shows are showing NOW, and which cable channel they’re on so I can watch for FREE. is that too much to ask?

Display Too Wide. Liked the old format better. Since they went to this new design the image is too wide on my iPhone 12 Pro. I cannot read the channel numbers. Been hoping for a fix for this but doesn’t seem to be an issue for the developer. You sent me an email after the review that you would fix the problem with the channel names and numbers being cut off on my iPhone 12 Pro. It is not fixed. I found a new channel guide and no longer use your app. You don’t deserve one star for the current app. Developer said: Settings Accessibility Display and Text size Button Shapes (Turn it off). After that, please try to force close the app and relaunch the app. It fixed my issue, great!

TV Guide App. Before this revision, I really loved this app. Now, the 3 features I liked most are gone (or I can’t find/figure out how to use them): 1) I could tap on the channel number and get a list of scheduled programming for 24 hours plus. I can no longer do that. 2) Though I like the historical information behind the programs, I really miss the description for each individual episode of the programs. 3) When I added a program/movie to the Watchlist, a choice of how many minutes ahead of time I wanted to be notified came up, an icon appeared on the guide beside the program/movie, and the program/movie stayed on the Watchlist until I deleted it. Now, I can’t even figure out how to add something to the Watchlist and get it to stay—I click on the “add” button and it indicates that it’s been added; however, when I click on Watchlist, nothing is there. I get no icon in the guide nor notification. 4) I also was able to search for programs & get a list of future dates & times (if applicable). 5) After choosing my favorite channels, that’s all that came up on the guide each time I opened the app; but that doesn’t happen anymore. I’m researching other apps that may have more of the features that I use to enjoy on this one.

Terrible app, but it does list programs. Cannot read network name nor station numbers because the left edge is cut off in the display. Listings have been reduced in size too much because of the amount of advertising that occupies so much of the page. It does provide listings carried by my cable provider although you have to guess the network name and number. Networks should be ordered by network name rather than station number. Programs are associated with networks, not station numbers. Channel whatever is useless until you find the name of the network. The station number is definitely a necessary thin to know, but the listings should none-the-less be ordered by network name, not by problem station number.

New updated app SLOW to load!. New updated app Looks nice. Flaws for me are slow load time. When you click on show to see episode info there is no yr on the original air date. Also plays a video of show. Not sure if it’s a video for that particular episode or not, But I find it unnecessary use of data and sucking up bandwidth for no good reason other than being fancy. Also when I wanted to see what aired last night between 8pm and 11pm. It would only go as far back at 11:30pm on the previous day. Is this part of the slow load issue or intentional? I have fast internet service using fiber optics lines in the neighborhood with a mesh WiFi system and 3.1 docs modem. Using a 2yr old iPad when using the app. So slow is on them in my opinion.

They took the “guide” out of TV guide with this redone version. Original air date is gone. Tapping on the channel no longer shows you the lineup for that channel. Episode information is now buried. Changing provider listings is also now buried. I’ve been using the TV guide app for about a decade. Loved it. Living on an international boarder, switching between providers’ listings, this was an excellent app. This new complete overhaul prompted me to delete it off my phone and was very upsetting to use. I don’t need a flashy play screen, I just need information about the episode and when it originally aired and what channel it’s on, and a nice search bar at the top. The meat of what it’s for is now gone. The usability is windows 3.1 grade. What was so wrong with adding the new features onto the existing GUI or one that flowed like it.? Please bring that flow and usability back!

Miss Some of the Old Features. The new app has several new features which I’m sure are nice, but it is missing some old features that were useful. While the new app has a short description of each series and an indication of whether the current episode is new, it lacks a recap of the current episode. The episode recap in the old app provided sufficient information for the user to determine if they had already seen the current episode. It also does not allow the user to navigate to a specific channel using the search feature. I understand the new app allows the user to identify frequently used channels, but would be more efficient to be able to navigate directly to other, occasionally used, channels without scrolling. Thank you for considering these suggestions.

Tv Guide. I just want to say thank you for the people that designed this app🙏😍 I can’t live without this app! Every morning when I drink my coffee that’s the first thing that I do! Check on my Tv Guide app what’s is new on the Tv today. Because the Tv doesn’t promote a lite of programs that interest me like the new season of Van helsing on Syfy and the new show Goest wors on syfy! Or evil things on Tlc the Tv network doesn’t care about us people liking those cubs if programmers😩 and without the Tv Guide I couldn’t know about them! So I want to say thank you again and again🙏😍💋 please continue the good work we love you guy’s❤️😍 Ruth Wells.

So helpful. This app makes my quality of tv watching so much less frustrating. I have only an antenna. There is listings as were on my att screen. I was really flying blind and it was very frustrating. The channel listing function on my my tv didn’t have much other than numbers. I had no clue. Once I got TV guide I began to learn that my antenna had so much to offer. With TV guide I get a glance of what’s on and decide whether to watch Netflix or not. I don’t have to miss anything anymore. I have had absolutely no technical issues. My gosh! Laugh In is on and it’s jokes are still current today. Rod Serling was on disco cavett and The Rolling Stones’s first US appearance was on Ed Sullivan. Historically excellent. I urge anyone to get this. It’s great.

Not as useful as the previous version.. You can no longer search for a channel, which I used when I couldn’t remember where a channel was located (or whether it was included in my cable package.) In my experience so far, the listings for a show are likely to describe the entire series, not which episode is airing. In the one instance where an episode’s details were listed, it was the wrong episode. In addition, the app seems to think I’m in the eastern time zone, despite showing the central time zone listings (after 11 pm, it told me a show airing earlier this evening had aired “yesterday”.) I would hope for better from TV Guide, and I hope that the bugs get worked out. Right now, its usefulness is limited. Edit: it’s currently 6:30 pm central time Wednesday, and I’m being told that Walker is on “today” despite it airing on Thursday evenings. So I have no idea what time zone it has me in.

Horrible Update!!!. TV Guide has always been a must have app. But they decided to “improve” it. The update is absolutely horrible!!!!! You used to open to the daily listings if you wanted it to. Not anymore. It opens to Movie Listings now and I haven’t figured out how to change it to open on the listings. Used to click on a program and it would tell you what this episode was about, now it gives a general idea what the show is about. We don’t need to know the premise of the show we want to know what the episode is about. I’ve seen a lot of upgrades of apps but I’ve never seen so many bad improvements . I took away 2 stars because they completely screwed up my favorite app. I would gladly pay a small monthly fee for the old TV Guide but as it is now it’s waste of space. It used to have a lot of celebrity stories and I haven’t found how to access these stories, if they are still available. I don’t think they are. PLEASE PUT TV GUIDE BACK THE WAY IT WAS INSTEAD OF THE MESS YOU CREATED! HEADS SHOULD ROLL OVER THIS NEW AND IMPROVED VERSION OF TV GUIDE!!!!!

I Want The Old Version Back!!!. You app developers get on my nerves changing ish that doesn’t need to be changed! This app was perfectly fine the way it was. Now, you can no longer search by the channel or network. You can only search by the title of the movie or TV show. And, whose brilliant idea was it to get rid of the reminder function?!!! That was the main option I loved about this app. If I can no longer set reminders, this app is useless to me. Why am I seeing local channels from other states. I live in Houston, TX and I have DIRECTV so, I should only be seeing my city’s location channels. But, I see ABC 12 (Flint, MI), FOX 29 (Philadelphia), CBS 5, and NBC 4. As I don’t live in those states, those channels shouldn’t be in my guide. The only channels I need to see are my local channels. All of these changes were horrible and, from all of the 1-star ratings you’re getting, no one likes them!

What Happened to this App?. I’ve been using this app for a very long time and all of a sudden, I have no way to set or change favorites. I Googled it. Must have been an old video because the guy is showing all these settings. There is almost nothing in my settings. There are maybe three things you can set. None are favorites. I kept going back and looking all over the app, then I’d Google it again. I finally decided they must have wrecked it on some update I didn’t know about. Since it’s changed, I can’t set much of anything other than provider, there are rarely descriptions of the shows anymore. It shows “New” all the time on episodes that are several years old. And no one responds. And the app crashes all the time. Use to be you could email the guide and someone would always answer and help you. Now it’s kind of useless. Deleting.

The Original App Wasn’t Broken. So why did they “fix” it? Ever since this new version replaced the easy to understand original version, it’s been a real disappointment. It’s really annoying when a developer changes something just for the sake of change. The program summaries are not helpful and they clutter the screen with listings of old episodes that you can’t watch anyway. And, it takes its sweet time loading the data, probably because there’s too much unnecessary information. Just give me a listing of the programs available to watch and the ability to read a summary. Anyone who gives this version a rating higher than 2 must not have used the original version. The original version was much better and easier to navigate. This one is terrible.

TV Guide 60. Where do I start! My main complaint is that when I set a timer to notify me of shows/ movies I get notified EVERY time it's on WHY would I want to watch / notify anything 10 times???!!! I tried the one time notification thinking oh that must be the answer but no it's JUST the 1 time !! I keep loosing my favorites channels and then have to start all over setting them up! The ads are so many my wifi has a hard time connecting!!!! I don't know why if developers are going to make apps why they have to make it so I'm notified EVERY time a show is on! DEVELOPERS FIX IT GET IT TOGETHER OR DON'T BOTHER WITH A THIRD CLASS APP!... Update Nothing's changed I've tried the notify 1 time but then I have to reset every week this app is basically useless when in order to get notified 1 time only I have to RESET WEEKLY MIGHT AS WELL USE PEN AND PAPER AND SAVE RESOURCES ON DEVICE FIX IT OR THE APPS USELESS !!! I'LL GO BACK TO PEN AND PAPER DON' T NEED MULTIPLE NOTIFICATIONS NO POINT!!!

Simplicity and user friendliness gone!. After updating the app to the newest version, I wish the old version was still an option. I often relied on the synopsis of new and older shows to decide if I would watch that day, but that is no longer available. It only shows the general description of the show’s premise. Also, the column that lists the channel number etc. has a heart next it so you can select your favorites, but it takes up to much space on the screen. I used to be able to rotate the screen, if I remember correctly, but that’s no longer an option. I don’t want to see the list of all channels on the same screen as my favorites. It’s too much to look at. I managed to find the settings section, but I can’t customize the views the way I want. The earlier version of the app was elegant in it’s simplicity. Please return these features. Basically, the app isn’t useful the way it is.
