Ratings and reviews

I would like to update my rating to 4 out of 5 stars. This is a fun gadget overall. I'm pleased to see that they FINALLY updated to version 3.0.0.120, which has fixed the long-standing no audio bug that started with version 3.0.0.109. I would still like to be able to manually enter RF channel numbers so that I don't have to keep rescanning for weak channels and end up delleting the ones I already found. for example, I have a weak NBC signal that I would like to pull in on 35-1 or just 35.

The device this app works with along with the app itself work well. I am able to watch live TV without internet. The app UI could be a bit more user friendly. And based on the FCC map, where I am, I should get a few more channels. But this tuner and app work better than tuners I have connected to my TV and what's great is that this turns my tablet into a portable TV. Would be better if the app worked with my Android TV projector.

I am in love with this app, and the device that runs it! Edit: not so happy now. I have zero audio. I guess if the closed captioning text was bigger I could still somewhat enjoy TV on my phone. I have checked every setting I can think of to rectify this situation, and have uninstalled and reinstalled the app multiple times.
