TVShow Plus 1.0.0.4
For those who are not at home or in other place where a TV set is at hand to watch the preferred shows, there are Internet based apps that bring them at the users' fingertips. Thus, should you want to view one more time an already aired episode from your favorite series or watch them all, a utility like TVShow Plus will come in handy.
Plain look, bent on practical use rather than visual appeal
Without any special appeal to it, the application's interface looks somewhat dull, with little polished graphics and a predominantly black and white color scheme. The several sections of the utility are neatly delimited, so it is easy to move around and browse the history of played videos or check out the downloaded content.
The flooding stream of advertisements displayed all through the app is quite irritating, as the ads keep on flashing and changing. Once in a while, a prompt to rate the app will also appear, but these reminders can be discarded for good with two taps.
Find and watch the favorite shows or save them onto the phone
Once you select the server from those available on the built-in list, you will have access to the search function that brings you closer to the TV series and movies (available only on some servers) you want to see.
Besides watching the videos online, you have the possibility to download them for offline viewing. If you leave the app while a download is in progress, it will be automatically sent to the "Pending" list from where you can retrieve it and continue downloading it later.
If you need to add subtitles to the videos you are watching, there is a dedicated feature for this as well. Finding and downloading the appropriate translations takes a couple of taps and from the video player screen you can choose the one you want to use.

Bottom Line
Design / UI4
The unattractive look of this application is a major drawbacks, especially considering the presence of the bothersome adverts in every area of the utility. The content is well organized and the quality decent for most videos, so it manages to save a few points here. |
Function8
The solid search function and the ability to download all the items that are available on the selected servers are the strong points of this app. The subtitles are a welcomed addition, but only purchasing the app will unlock access to them, as well as to the full movies. |
Security7
The application seeks to access a couple of areas of the system where sensitive information is stored, like the phone dialer or the owner and phone identities, without being related to the actual functionality. |
Battery6
The app uses a moderate amount of power most of the time, but when playing or downloading the movies, the energy consumption increases significantly. |
Price7
This tool brings a set of useful features, but they come at a cost and since there are other applications on the market that can offer most of them freely, the overall value of this one is diminished. |
Compatibility9
Most Windows Phone devices are able to run TVShow Plus as it only needs version 7.5 or above of the operating system to be installed onto the device. |
