T.V. at Mac App Store analyse

.

Do not waste your time downloading this app. Other apps are available which give a well formatted listing of the TV shows available for viewing in almost every part of the world, and which make intelligent use of the locations-sensing function on your iPhone. This app does not do those things. This app is only location aware in ONE COUNTRY (a limitation the description on the iTunes store does not tell you about) and requires you to enter a five digit "Zip Code" (a postal mail identifier code used ONLY in the U.S.A.) I can only speculate on the reason this fact is hidden from customers on the iTunes store. One explanation is the following: The information is omitted deliberately in a pathetic attempt to increase their download numbers. The number of total downloads (one measure of the "popularity" of an app) is artificially inflated when a misleading description encourages customers outside the U.S. to download the app, even though they cannot use it. In other words, users outside the U.S. are being tricked into helping the developers trick users inside the U.S. If the developers of this app gave any thought to their customers, they would state this limitation up front, as the developers of other country-specific TV listing apps do. I hope this review will prevent other people from being used the way I have been used.

Nicely thought out design, simple and functional Yes it is U.S.A. only but if thats what you need youll find yourself liking it.

I dont understand the review that says that this is US only. It asks you what country you want and, for me, provided me with Shaw Direct satellite listings.

May 1, 2914 update: the apps loads up sooooo slowwwww.... I have up on it. How about start testing out your updates before releasing them?

Thats it. This app is total garbage. All you ever get is "server busy".

TV Daily is a great start. Enhancement: Clicking on a program should change the channel on the TV. I.e., use the app as a remote. Some big UE issues: 1) Selecting and sorting channels is poor. 2) Sort Channels should show the channel numbers. 3) It appears that changing which channels to show throws out my sort config. 4) Grid needs to be able to show later listings than the initial display. 5) From grid, go to specific channel. The entries are not sorted by time. And the entries cut off before end of the day. 6) Bug: Entries in Select Channels are sometimes arbitrarily selected/unselected that I did not do. And many more....
