i.TV app review: check out what is on air

Introduction

Do you hate missing a favorite show, do you want to be aware of the latest movies as they are released on TV, perhaps you like to see what is new on Netflix? All of this information can be found with the i.TV app which can be used on your iPod touch, iPad, and iPhone. This app makes it possible to check out what is on Netflix, what's airing on TV, what iTunes has, and Hulu. As well you can then read up on show information on Wikipedia and IMDb.

Entertainment Made Convenient

Finding a movie or television show can be easy and fast thanks to the i.TV app. This app makes it possible to view all your local TV listings for providers in the U.S. and Canada. You can even set reminders so you will be alerted of an upcoming favorite show. How many times have you been out, gotten busy, lost track of time, only to miss your show? That won’t be happening when you’ve got this app to remind you otherwise. Now if you do happen to miss that show let the app help you find if it is on Netflix, Hulu, or iTunes. You can also personalize your experience by bookmarking all your favorite shows.

It has been quite some time since this app was updated with the last update being that it supports iOS 5. There were also some performance and bug fixes made. The app only has 2.5 out of five stars. When an app goes so long without an update it often starts looking and feeling stagnant, which could be what users are thinking at this point.

A Stagnant Offering?

So is this app out of touch, is it feeling stagnant? Let’s take a closer look. Launch the app to be taken to your main screen, which already feels a bit old. Here you will be able to find links to your Most Favorited, My Favorites, Emmy Winners, Oscar Winners, Staff Picks, New Tonight, and a section to set you alerts. It’s got everything you need just in a very dull presentation.

For me one feature that I really like is the New Tonight. This is a really quick way to check out what shows are airing new episodes that particular day. Tap on the show you are interested in and you will be able to read a description of the show, set an alert for it, add it to your favorites, and where you can watch it (Netflix, iTunes, TV, or Hulu). It would just be nice to see more features, more interactive elements, and a more engaging experience overall.

Pros and Cons

Pros

• Find what’s playing on TV, Netflix, iTunes, and Hulu
• Supports U.S. and Canadian TV providers
• Set reminder alerts for when a show will be airing
• Bookmark shows as favorites

Cons

• A rather dull user interface
• Lacks in features and tools

Final Thoughts

The i.TV app for your iPod touch, iPad, and iPhone offers some helpful information it’s just delivered in a rather dull and unimpressive user interface unfortunately.
