Freeview TV gets its own iPhone App

The Freeview digital TV service has now got its own iPhone app.

The app lets you check the programming guide to over 50 Freeview channels, including HD channels, letting you plan your night’s viewing on the go. It’s all customisable, so you can organise the guide so that you only have to scroll through channels that are relevant to your viewing tastes.

You’ll also be able to search for shows through text entry or categories, with even a nice feature recommending programmes you may enjoy based on what you’ve searched for most. Come to think of it, a recommendation feature rolled out across all digital EPG’s would be really useful, so hats off to Freeview there.

Tim Hunt, Marketing Communications Director at Freeview said: “As Freeview HD rolls-out across the UK, viewers can plan their HD viewing wherever they are with our new Freeview HD TV guide app. The launch of this smart app will allow users to cut a quicker path to their favourite channels and get the most out of planning their TV viewing.”
