TVGenius – TV Guide & Listings

this app has been my go-to app for my over the air tv channels for many years i’ve referred several of my friends to it & it was always so easy to use & had most of the info i was looking for, however, the recent update to the app is not as user friendly as what it was before before: you could just keep scrolling down to get to the next upcoming shows or scroll up to see the previous shows that had already aired now: you have to keep going back out to select the next show you want to view & it’s easy to lose your place & very frustrating & redundant before: when viewing the info on any show, you could see the season and episode of the show & the synopsis of each episode was in the description now: you can’t see the season or episode of any current show and there is no more synopsis of each episode. it’s just the same thing on each show, which is just a description of the entire series. while viewing the current show, you can scroll down to view the upcoming shows list and that list includes the season & episode for those shows, until they’re actually showing & then that info is not anywhere it would be nice if we could have an option as to which version we would like to use, cuz i’d go back to the previous version i don’t understand why anybody thought it was necessary to change a good thing, since this new app is clearly not a step forward … it’s very disappointing

TV Listings use to be a useful app that subjected the user to a reasonable amount of advertising. Not anymore. After several recent updates the app now subjects the user (of the ad-supported free version) to an outrageous and obnoxious ad experience. It appears the developer is intentionally trying to drive users away from the free (ad supported) version to the paid subscription version. When you open the app it forces you to fight full page ads that you can’t close for some time. The developer moves the “x” around between the left and right corners and makes it so small that you end up clicking the ad, not the “x”. After that, it subjects you to a second page of full page ads that forces the user to endure an even more aggressive and obnoxious ad-strategy. I suspect the developer is bitter that the ad-supported free version didn’t yield enough ad revenue or enough paid subscribers, so they’re now getting their revenge on the users of the free version. If I could give this current version zero stars I would.

I have been using it now for quite a long time and I would say 98% a time I am works just great! The only add that frustrates me is the very first pop-up that covers your whole screen right from the start when your generally busy trying to find out what’s on & who... and everytime I say a cuss word and drop my train of thought to turn it off the add, ...and forget what I was looking for..! Obviously your not old like me and you young people don’t know what a senior moment is But, trust me you will!.. and might say a cuss word?....I hope y’all are getting a bunch more money for those pop-ups right when the app starts... but I’m not really complaining since it is free! Doing a good job!
