## Review summary

User reviews largely fault Freesat’s Android app for removing remote recording and remote-control features, leaving only a basic TV guide/listings tool. This has led many to call the app useless or redundant, with several reporting UI and loading issues after updates. A minority still appreciates the guide/search capability and regards the guide as reasonably strong compared to alternatives, but overall feedback centers on feature removals, reliability concerns, and a redesign that some users feel copies Freeview.

### Pros

- TV guide/listings with search functionality remains available.
- App remains usable for basic features (search and listings) despite removal of some functions.
- Some reviewers view Freesat's live TV guide as strong ( praised relative to alternatives).

### Cons

- Remote recording via the app has been removed, greatly reducing usefulness.
- Remote control of the Freesat box from the app has been removed.
- App is largely reduced to a TV guide with few features, leading to perceptions of uselessness.
- UI/design updates are criticized (copy of Freeview look) and can degrade usability/content loading.
- Performance issues after updates (missing pictures/descriptions, days-in-advance search not working).
