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

Didn’t want to commit to an antenna and this app has been so great! I could just cast directly to tv/Mac. Have been able to watch World Cup matches on FOX and Telemundo. Only suggestions I have is to be able to add favorite channels so I don’t have to scroll down as much and to have a Mac app so I can just HDMI instead of using my phone all the time. Surprisingly the app isn’t heavy as phone doesn’t heat up at all during usage.
