TV Guide 1.3.0.0
Here are those who want to want to have this information available at any moment, so installing a dedicated app onto their mobile devices may seem like the best idea. For Windows Phone users, TV Guide is one of the utilities that were created just for the above mentioned purpose.
Simple and clean look for ease of use
This application has a plain and uncomplicated front-end that was clearly made to ensure ease of use and the focus on practicality is evident. The graphics are common, while the organization of the content could be improved quite a bit.
A minor setback is the lack of an alphabetical organization of the channel list or of some sorting options when viewing the programs that are currently on and the upcoming movies. Also, the reminders that prompt you to rate and review the app will start to bug you from the first launch.
Choose the preferred channels and view their schedule on the go
TV Guide includes quite a few channels, almost one hundred in all, from both shores of the Atlantic, so there is a varied selection of programs waiting to be discovered. You can take each television station and by selecting it view its whole schedule.
Inside the "On Now" section you will find the details concerning the TV programs that are being played for the next 60 minutes on all the stations in the app's database. To browse the list of channels from this area, simply tap on a station name and the list containing only the channel names will appear.
Another handy section you might like to check out is the one dedicated to the movies and for each station that broadcasts any of them, you will have right in front of your eyes the complete list of films for the current day.

Bottom Line
Design / UI5
This application fails to impress through good looks, so its smooth navigation seems to remain the only asset it has form this point of view. |
Function6
The utility covers a lot of TV channels with numerous viewers worldwide, but it lacks some ordering options or a means of marking favorite channels to make it easier to arrange the programs. |
Security10
The app is very discreet and doesn't go anywhere near any sensitive areas of the system, so it is safe to have it onto a mobile phone. |
Battery9
Friendly with the system resources, TV Guide needs a small amount of power to run, so the battery usage remains very low at all times. |
Price7
Overall this application has a decent value thanks to the numerous channels it follows and to the fact that it is free of cost, though not of nuisances. |
Compatibility8
The only devices on which this utility can be properly installed and run are the handsets powered by Windows Phone 8 and above. |
