Ratings and reviews

App was working great in December on both my Samsung tablet and phone. It stopped working on my tablet a couple months ago, but still worked on my phone. It recently stopped working on my Samsung phone too. App constantly crashes. I have been using this device for a few years and would to keep using it. Please fix!!!

So far so good. Works better than I thought. The little rabbit ears pick up better than my TV antenna. Video record and playback works if you find the correct app to play it. I just happened to have X Player downloaded on my phone to play back tube videos, and it worked. I got a Y cable to charge my phone while it plays, swipe left or right to go up or down channels or tap the screen to get a list. Just don't make an update to make it quit!! Samsung Galaxy S10+.

It works only if you manually install an older version (version 108, instead of the latest, 109). Gotta Google for an APK file that you then manually install, so not user-friendly at all. When the signal is strong, good reception, but just like any other digital signal it gets blocky when weak. Ah the good old days of analog signals :-) This will be a good alternative to streaming local channels when at sports events, while camping, etc.
