TV Listings Made Simple

How frustrating is it when you end up missing one of your favorite shows because you didn't realize it was on? Never worry about that again because with this app you'll be able to view what is up and coming for the next seven days.

The app has been set up to be user-friendly so that finding what you're looking for is simple and quick. There is no need to spend all kinds of time scrolling through listings just to find one particular program.

The sorting features allow you to customize, there is the ability to create your own TV schedule, and you can even set alerts so you don't miss something you are wanting to see.

Even if you don’t watch a lot of TV and just have one or two programs you like to follow, this app can still come in handy.

Full-Feature App

Don’t let the simple idea of this app fool you as it is loaded with features that are fun and simple to use. Make use of tools such as the ability to share your shows with all your friends and family by email, Twitter, and Facebook, and view the episode and season number beside each show. This is great when you're trying to figure out if it's a new or old episode. When you are viewing the grid the live and new shows will be highlighted, making it very quick and simple to determine what you want to catch.

I do have to say that sometimes the app comes across looking a bit busy. I'm not sure this is really the fault of the app, as it's more to do with the fact there are just so many listings. It's hard to display that quantity of information in a non-cluttered manner. I also find that information is rather slow to load and can get frustrating as you wait.
