User Reviews

LocalTV+ offers free, local channels without antenna or cable, including local news and Patriots games, which many users praise for simplicity and cost savings. It helps those with weak reception and provides emergency alerts. However, users frequently report reliability issues, regional limits to Massachusetts, and missing features like Cloud DVR and broader platform support (Roku/macOS). Overall, it’s highly valued as a community-driven solution with calls for stability and wider availability.

Pros

Free access to local TV channels without needing an antenna or cable subscription.
No ads and no ongoing subscription fees, making it a cost-effective option.
Helps viewers with poor antenna reception and provides access to local news and sports (e.g., Patriots games) in markets like Boston.
Simple, user-friendly interface with strong Apple TV compatibility and AirPlay support.
Community-driven nonprofit project that delivers emergency alerts and keeps locals connected.

Cons

Reliability issues: the app can be inconsistent, with outages or guides/channels failing to load.
Geographic limitation: availability is largely limited to Massachusetts, not nationwide.
Lacks Cloud DVR to record programs you want to watch later.
Platform gaps: no Roku app and no macOS app yet (limited cross‑platform support).
Login/sign‑in problems and occasional UX issues (e.g., password changes, watch button failures).

Recent reviews

I love the app, but there’s three problems with it right now. The first is that there’s no Cloud DVR feature to record programming on any of the stations, which should be a must for cord-cutting viewers. The second is that, at this time, the app is not currently available in any other state in North America, which does seem fair to the rest of the country, who also struggle with cord-cutting. If us here in Massachusetts can use the app effectively for Over-The-Air TV viewing, then why not the rest of the U.S.? Third, right now, is that WCVB Channel 5 is stuck on an endless loop with the game show “25 Words Or Less”, so I currently cannot watch any live programming on the station. Please fix it!
