If you’re a big television watcher, most likely you have a television guide type app you already use from your cable or satellite TV provider. Those are great for searching when shows come on or scheduling your DVR if you have that, but more than likely, you want something that provides a bit more information than what those apps can provide. That’s where the newly updated TV Guide Mobile app comes in. This app has been completely redesigned for iOS7 with a new look and feel, though it also works with iOS5 and above. TV Guide Mobile is your 24/7 television companion that lets you know when all the popular trending shows are on, what channels you can watch them on based on your location and service, and will even allow you to launch specific apps that are also replaying certain episodes, such as Netflix, Hulu Plus, HBO Go, and on iTunes.
What the TV Guide Mobile app does that your cable / satellite app doesn’t do is give you information and news related to your favorite television shows. If you have it added to your watchlist, you’ll be able to read all related news about that show written by the TV Guide, just like you would read at the news stand. You can even view a list of all episodes that have shown, when they showed, and when future episodes will show.
What’s neat about the TV Guide Mobile app too is that you can also get a list of services that stream recent episodes so that you can watch them in case you miss the live showing. Of course the main reason to use this app is to add your favorite shows to the watchlist so that the app can remind you when the next live showing is so you’ll never miss another episode again.
So yes, if you are a TV junkie, you may really want to go and download the newly improved TV Guide Mobile app. It’s got everything a television lover would want in an app and more.
