TV Guide Customer Insights

1. If this is the BETA version, in which "minor bugs" have been "fixed", TV GUIDE should scrap it, and start over from scratch!Listings aren't accurate for 85706 area.

2. Really sucks to feel the need to uninstall it! Edit to add; Not fixed, still doesn' show my tv listings, which is what I expect from tv guide.

3. I've also always wanted the ability to save my favorite channels and other settings without the requirement that I create a profile where the info is saved online.

4. What would be the problem.TV Guide has always been a respected name and source of info about what's on TV.

5. I just opened TV guide, only to find that it was unable to open the channel lineup I have had for YEARS, with my SPECTRUM cable service.

6. Since then I have been trying to re-download this app again to see if it was any better ... BUT ... Every time I download it and pick the comcast/cable/antenna and pick the other programs I cannot get past that.

7. Not happening.Ever since my phone did an auto update, against my wishes, the push notifications have been temporarily disabled and I can't get notified of upcoming shows.

8. When I manually move the guide to the current day and time the guide does not load all the way.

9. Do the people that design this app actually try using it??Guide jumps ahead to a day in the future instead of being on the current hour and day.

10. It looks to me like they force that requirement so they can sell info about our viewing history to their business partners and other customers.

11. I was hoping that the recent rewrite/update of this app would fix at least some of the many major problems that I've experienced during the time I've been using it.
