TV Guide receives overwhelmingly negative feedback from consumers, with many expressing frustration over significant issues with its listings and service. Reviewers frequently report that the guide is riddled with errors, leading to confusion and dissatisfaction.
Complaints about incorrect data and misprinted listings are common, with one user noting that the app often provides wrong information about channels and programming.

While a few positive reviews highlight the usefulness of the guide for finding children's programming, these are vastly outnumbered by the critical sentiments.

App is just awful
Please ignore my review of TVguide.com. My mistake: my review was of the appalling website TVguide.co.uk. Appollogies to TVguide.com!

The new version of TV Guide doesn't have all the features that made the old one so good. The old one allowed you to select your preferred channels, gave easy synopsis of programs, a 3 hour spread of programs and gave the channel nos.
terrible recent update days ago to new format with now only 2 hour display window even more skimpy programme details than before what was an acceptable way of seeing the tv schedules the present or upcoming days has become a joke. Bad timespan Bad presentation Bad information Bad move whoever thought this one out should be dismissed or promoted to teaboy
The TV Guide app is GREAT, when it works! But, it only works intermittently. I honest don’t understand my having to delete then reinstall the TV Guide app time and time again only to realize a possible read on TV shows. I’d gladly pay for something that works, but even that is not an option. Sooooo disappointed in this app!
I absolutely loved the old app. Any information you needed was readily accessible. I liked the channel listings by number in sequence, and also liked being able to use the search feature to find a channel or a program. The new guide is IMPOSSIBLE to use quickly and efficiently. I now have to use the guide on my TV to find out what is on. I’m deleting the App. It’s USELESS and A WASTE OF SPACE.
I would give Version 6.0. zero stars if that was an option. I was a happy user of the app since 2013. It was a great resource for this couch potato to plan ahead. That ended in 1/2021 with v.6.0. The "new" Watchlist is very disappointing. My entire TV & movie list is gone. I can't even start over because the app won't let me add (or re-add) shows/ movies. I was not successful with the desktop version either. Surprisingly, it still shows my "favorite" cable channels, but is slow to load the filters. My Xfinity app does the same thing, and is faster. Customer support is no help. They used to respond to my Feedback within 1-2 days. But ever since the new app was launched, they have been non-responsive. I tried other TV apps, None of them come close to having the features that the previous TVG app had. Are there any programmers out there who would join with me in creating our own app?
Please somebody tell me how I can get the old app back I can’t use this new TV Guide app it is no help to me at all the old TV Guide app told me everything what was coming on for the night which episode why would they do this to something that was so useful and good now it’s a useless app on my phone that should be deleted soon if they don’t change back
TV guide used to be my favorite app. It loaded quickly and told me exactly what I needed to know. What was on when, exactly which episode was playing, and if it was new or a repeat. Now it does none of those things. Why should I keep it?
I’ve seen some app updates before that were not improvements but never an update so awful that the entire app is rendered useless. This, for me, is the worst update I’ve ever seen of an app. Would like to speak to the utter morons who designed this just to hear what they could have been thinking in removing every piece of useful functionality.
Nice to know I’m not the only one HATING this “new” TVGuide crap app! Lousy. No description of episodes or even episode season and show. Terrible. I found another app called TV Listings Plus that is so much better than this new TV guide crap app. Not allowed to post the link here. Don’t know why, so go to App Store or google play and get “TV Listings Plus” app.
New TV guide on my iPad. I wish you could make the tv channel numbers on the left side smaller. Ian only 70 yrs old and my eyesight over the years has only improved. My eyes are so damned good I can see a flea on a rabbits ass from 1000 yards. Your doing a great job. Now, can you bring back the old TV guide, the one I could actually read and use?

Another case of trying to fix something not broken.. Worst upgrade I've ever seen. Only 3 hours into the future. No favorites. No color coding. Why? Why? Why? Deleting until these are available
New app is completely useless. The channel numbers are so small as to be nearly “useless” and it does not tell you what tonight’s episode of a given program is, rather inducating all of the streaming possibilities and every other episode. Says Nova was on last night which it clearly was not!
This “new and improved” version is ridiculous. No previews of any shows, slow to load, limited in times to be seen. If I were on the Board of Directors, I would be firing people, demanding a refund, and returning to what was working. Bad show, folks.
Your app was awesome. Your new app is terrible. I have antenna TV and firestick. I can no longer tell what is on tv later today or tomorrow.
I live in Portland, OR and use TV Guide for antenna broadcast listings. Your newest revision is Terrible! I used to be able to click on a channel to see a full list of a channel's shows for that day or even the next day or week, etc. I also liked to see when a show was originally broadcast. Now I see nothing about the original broadcast. Please fix these problems!!!
