About this app

With Antenna Point, aiming your TV antenna is easy! The map in the app will display transmitting towers along with the distance from your home to each tower. Antenna Point will identify your location and provide the TV antenna coverage area within 35-mile, 50-mile, and a 70-mile range pattern. The app will help you find the best direction to aim your indoor, attic or outdoor TV antenna. Download the Antenna Point app on your smart phone or tablet, read through the step-by-step instructions and start aiming your smart phone or tablet towards the largest cluster of towers. Once you’ve found the best direction to all the towers, install your antenna in an area with the best unobstructed view to the TV towers. Connect your antenna to your TV and use your remote to scan your TV for channels. The towers are displayed in black markers on the map, and you can tap on each tower to see the main network call sign, like ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, PBS, The CW, ION, MeTV and many more. The app includes a channel list, so you can preview the TV stations available in your area.

Tips: After your initial channel scan, check the number of TV stations you are receiving. If you are not receiving all the available channels move your antenna to another spot and rescan your TV for channels until you receive the most channels. You may have to move the antenna a few times until you find the best TV signals. [Note: certain variables unrelated to the antenna’s performance can interfere with signal reception, such as terrain, tall buildings, and trees – try finding the most unobstructed view to the TV towers for the best TV signals].

Ratings and reviews

This app used to be really good, but now seems as if it has something wrong with it. The display is not stable as it twists and jumps around making it difficult to tap on the antenna you want. You can find information on the broadcast stations the tower is sending, but only for the first one as the app seems stuck on the first one. I have used this app before and this shouldn't be happening. I am just letting the app developers know that their app is not working properly.

I tried using this on two separate devices, which Play Store said it could be installed on. What wasn't said is that it required "oscillators" and that neither device had them, so I couldn't use the apps at all. Not a complaint because I don't know if it works or not since my devices can't use them. I just wanted to warn anyone else minus this feature on their phone that it might install but not work.

Update: After recalibrating my phone's compass several times, the App works great. Look online how to do this. if you are experiencing wacky results with this App, I recommend phone recalibration. North points South. I've used AntennasDirect for a long time to get my antennas pointed correctly. The thought of an App to assist in this was intriguing. However, this App points the map in reverse. I tried recalibrating my phone, but it still says north is south. So, for me, this app does not work.
