About this app

▶ Point your TV antenna the right way. TV Antenna Pointer lists the broadcast towers around you, sorted by distance, with the channels, network and direction for each one.

▶ Spin to the signal. Pick a tower or a whole cluster and the compass arrow turns you to the exact heading, with a nudge when you are lined up. Several channels on one tower farm show as one aim point.

▶ See it on the map. Your location, the towers and the bearing lines are drawn together so you can double-check the direction even where indoor metal throws the compass off.

▶ New to cutting the cord? After you aim, the app walks you through rescanning your TV so those over-the-air channels actually show up.

▶ Works offline from a built-in tower database, so you can check reception anywhere. No account needed.

Reception estimates are based on distance, tower power and your location; real results vary with terrain, buildings, antenna type and weather. Directions are a guide — final aiming is best confirmed by your TV's signal meter.

What’s new

Fixes a crash on opening. On some devices the app closed the instant it launched, because it was shipping code built for a processor those devices do not run and could not load it. That build variant is no longer included. If the app would not start for you, this update fixes it.
