Freeview

Very disappointing as this app won’t load at all because it cannot detect my location. Location services is turned on, Freeview has access, and it says unsuccessful every time! Even when I enter my postcode it says unsuccessful. I’ve tried my work postcode as well which doesn’t work either, and several nearby post codes. All say unsuccessful! My WiFi is working fine, and other apps get my location fine. Please give me an option to pick my region!!

I am using the voice over screen reader for the visually impaired. I cannot find any way to favorite channels and when i Perform a search for a show to watch on catch up for example 'American dad', it will return all the available episodes but when i swipe through each of the search results, all i hear is 'watch American Dad'. To find out what series and episode number plus the episode name, i have to view the entry page for each result. Can you fix this so this info is available to voiceover on the search results page? Also can you add a feature in the settings to enable audio description if a show has it and to mention audio description in the program descriptions like it does on standard freeview on terestial TV. thanks

Been using TVGuide Plus, which I like for it adding reserved programs to my calendar so you could view what was coming up. However, if you went beyond midnight of the current day, what programs were listed were totally different to what was shown when selected, making it useless beyond the current day. The Freeview app does go beyond the current day and I like it for planning my viewing. My only gripe is that you can’t see any list of programs you’ve reserved for watching - a viewable listing would be ideal, or as TVGuide Plus does, add reserved programs to your calendar. To be able to view or list reserved programs would get it 5 stars from me.

Hi. I've been using a Youview recorder box for a number of years and would really like to move over to Freeview Play. My Humax Youview recorder is linked to the Youview ios app which allows me to set recordings on the box wherever I am in the world (much like people who are Sky users can do). I find this an invaluable and key facility. Even when at home I tend to set recordings in this way rather than switching on the box and using the remote to set programmes to record. The Humax Freeview Play recorded looks really good but there doesn't seem to be a facility to set recordings (including series lined recordings) from my phone even when I'm out and about. Provide this, and I'll jump. Rowel

I have used the ‘old’ Freeview app for a couple of years and had got used to it’s funny ways: like displaying the wrong date at the top of the programme guide and crashing occasionally when you clicked on an entry. But, at least it did give me (usually) what must be the main point of this app - an integrated programme guide. This version displays the time slots but fails to add anything further about any programme when any slot is selected. So I have to turn my TV on to see what’s on - which kind of defeats the purpose of this app. As an app developer myself, I have to question the apparent lack of testing done to this app. I live in Newcastle Upon Tyne. A mere conglomeration of some 1.9M people. Not really a quiet backwater.... please bring back detail about the programme listings.
