## Review summary

Users find TV Guide convenient and free, especially for antenna users to quickly see what's on and plan with a watchlist. However, the app is plagued by intrusive ads and frequently inaccurate listings, making it unreliable. Many reviewers also report limited market coverage and regional restrictions, plus occasional glitches and login/zip-code issues. Overall, it’s a handy, fast listings tool when it works, but ad overload and data reliability problems limit its usefulness for many users.
