TV Listings use to be a useful app that subjected the user to a reasonable amount of advertising. Not anymore. After several recent updates the app now subjects the user (of the ad-supported free version) to an outrageous and obnoxious ad experience. It appears the developer is intentionally trying to drive users away from the free (ad supported) version to the paid subscription version. When you open the app it forces you to fight full page ads that you can’t close for some time. The developer moves the “x” around between the left and right corners and makes it so small that you end up clicking the ad, not the “x”. After that, it subjects you to a second page of full page ads that forces the user to endure an even more aggressive and obnoxious ad-strategy. I suspect the developer is bitter that the ad-supported free version didn’t yield enough ad revenue or enough paid subscribers, so they’re now getting their revenge on the users of the free version. If I could give this current version zero stars I would.

This was my go to app for OTA shows. In the last few weeks the advertising has gotten so bad that when I start the app it’s almost impossible to get to the main page in the first minute due to full page pop up and App Store redirects. It redirects, you hit the arrow to return to app which immediately redirects you again. This is totally a moronic advertising move. And all for a stupid game app company. If I could rate this a -5 stars at this point I would. Early this year I would have rated it a +4. I’ll find another one because my patience ran out with this one. To bad too because I liked this one and I stick with what works. I don’t mind advertising but these blatant full page adds with very aggressive redirects have no common sense attached. Your advertising gets no looks if no one is there to watch.

This has to be stopped. Originally it was free with no ads. Sucked a lot of us in and ran off all competition. Then they added in small unobtrusive ads, it was still ok. Then the ads got bigger, but you could eliminate them if you paid an annual fee. Guess what, if you don’t pay their fee the ads have gotten bigger and more intrusive. Now every time I open it I get a very intrusive video that you have to let run before you can access the listings screen. This is basically extortion - you either pay us our annual fee (which will probably go up) or we will keep adding ads until you get so frustrated that you will.
