RCA Signal Finder

First, the app performed as advertised... to an extent. Here are the drawbacks I found: -It left out some stations I know are out there -The call letters and not the channel are listed. If you want to know the channel, you’ll need to go to the station’s website. The relative signal strength is listed in decibels (db). Unfortunately, the app doesn’t explain the the more negative a signal is, the weaker it is. (A -20db signal is weaker than a -10db signal. Also, the measurements are logarithmic.... -20db is NOT half as strong as -10db.) -You are asked to enter a complete address, which could be sold to junk mailers. I put in an address of a nearby government building. On the positive side, the app did not ask for any kind of model number to be entered. If the app Dev would update the database and include channel numbers, and get rid of the address requirement, this would be really good app.

It’s easy to use, but it’s not too handy unless your geography knowledge is so poor you don’t even know where you are; if you have even a vague idea of what state you’re in and where a city big enough to have TV stations is, you don’t need this. It’s nice not to have to enter details into the app other than your address, so there’s no need to look for confusing device specifics. The map is fun to watch and has satellite and hybrid options. It’s unclear if the app keeps and monetizes your information. In the help section, it’s irritating to see that a professional company doesn’t know the difference between “to lay” and “to lie” or between “was” and “were,” as in this example: “...with phone flat in front of you as if it was laying on a table.” While the map is fun, it’s not a really useful tool, and the bad grammar is cringe-worthy.

It worked for me, shows stations and lets you rotate your phone and lets you know when you are lined up. One thing that I don’t like is I have 60 channels where I live and the app doesn’t tell you which station the channels are coming from. Instead it simply says which location each major station is at ABC, NBC etc.

Downloaded this today and it was really easy to install. The first time it came up and seemed like it was going to be really easy. Then, we had to try to use it again and when I opened it it wanted the authorization email and model number. Okay, already put it in once but let’s do it a again. No. It won’t actually let you click “ok” and move on to the next step 😡 so annoyed

I don’t understand the low rating on this app. It worked perfectly for me, and was simple to use. I’m now enjoying excellent antenna reception. Now if you don’t get good reception, it’s because of the limitations of your geography, and not the app.
