What's coming up?
There’s a lot in development, especially around making listings look and work as best it can. We’re forever tinkering to prevent crashes and speed up the app, as well as looking at improvements to how your ‘favourites’ can be more useful. We do listen to your feedback and reviews in the AppStore – if you have any suggestions please do email us at rtapps@radiotimes.com.
Awards
DiscoverTV won the Digital Innovation of the Year - Consumer Media category at the PPA Awards 2014 and the Launch 2014 category at the AOP Digital Publishing Awards 2014.
What's New in Version 2.5
Version 2.5 contains various bug fixes (like ensuring the listings refresh if you change your TV region, and the order of your radio channels stays put if you change region) and performance improvements to make it run faster (and crash even less) so you can find the TV or radio programme info you’re looking quicker than ever. We’re continuing to work on DiscoverTV behind the scenes but also have some great new feature in the pipeline – more info on that in the next couple of releases.
We appreciate all the feedback we get, and do read every one of them (even if we can’t respond to all in person – although we try). If you have any comments or suggestions about, or concerns with, your experience using DiscoverTV please let us know at rtapps@radiotimes.com.

It works!
Despite all the negative criticism my first download functions perfectly. There's a lot of flimflam to cut through - I really don't want other "expert" opinions, just a simple listing. You can turn off the opinions and enjoy the listings. Works very smoothly. Still working well after the initial 30 day trial period - and NO ADS!
A search facility would be good too.
Superb
This app is simply the best. It is so easy to use and gives so much information. Stands out from all other TV apps by miles. Love pick of the day in particular as I pick up on programmes I would have otherwise missed. Superb. Thank you.
It would be brilliant if it worked
I should love this app (and I have in the past) but it has simply stopped doing the things it should. The favourite function doesn't work. And every time I try to add a programme to my calendar, it crashes. I'm on the verge of deleting it but I'm hoping the developers will fix the bugs and it will be back to its old self.
