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).

If you live within 100 miles of Boston and want to watch local live tv channels for free this is the app for you. Can watch on iPhone or cast to your tv. These are the live local tv stations not the live news streams. Watching ‘Wheel as we speak..
