Description:

BuddyTV is the ultimate TV Listings, TV Everywhere, TV Anywhere App!

BuddyTV is the most highly rated app with an average lifetime rating of over 4.5 stars.

Find Something Great And Watch It!

With BuddyTV you WILL find something great to watch. But this is where we leave the competition in the dust. With BuddyTV you can:

• tune-in
• stream
• record
• control playback & navigation
• get reminders

BuddyTV Takes Personalization To A Whole New Level!

BuddyTV quickly adapts to your interests. With BuddyTV, you can personalize your interests using Vibes. Think of Vibes as really specific genres. Drama, Comedy, Horror, Sports. Huh?! That just doesn't cut it! Vibes are way cooler. BuddyTV lets you browse by Seattle Seahawks, Alabama Football, Redneck Reality TV Shows, Get Rich TV Shows, American Film Institute's Top 100 Movies, etc. Anything you can browse, you can pin & add to your Watchlist. BuddyTV has a vast library of Vibes. Or create your own. You can even share them.

Never Miss A Show With BuddyTV!

We'll send you reminders when your favorites are about to air. Even if you're not at home, schedule a DVR recording in just a few taps.

Add TV Shows, Movies, Sports Teams, Leagues, Colleges & Vibes to your Watchlist and we'll shoot you a reminder when they're about to air.

TV Listings On Steroids!

Buddy TV has powerful, customizable TV listings. You can filter by Favorite Stations and Genres. TV listings are available for all US Pay TV services as well as over-the-air.

Browse & Schedule Recordings On Your DVR!

BuddyTV allows you to remotely schedule recordings with major Pay TV services including Comcast, TWC, DirecTV, DISH, AT&T U-verse, etc.

When combined with our best in class TV & Movie discovery experience, you may never want to rent or buy a movie again! For example, browse our incredibly intuitive Movies Vibe for the most popular or highly rated upcoming movies in your TV lineup and record them to your DVR. Your DVR will be plum full of stuff you actually want to watch without having to use that prehistoric Pay TV provider interface.

BuddyTV Is TV Everywhere!

Don't have a Pay TV Subscription? No problem! BuddyTV works just as well with streaming services. Maybe better. ;^) BuddyTV includes popular streaming services such as HBO GO, Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon Prime, iTunes, Amazon Instant, Crackle, MAX GO & Showtime. We're adding more services all the time.

Find something to watch and you can tune right into the App that provides it. With our DIAL support you can stream that content to any DIAL-enabled device in your house.

Throw Away That Clunky Remote!

BuddyTV Guide has remote control. BuddyTV works with a growing list of Pay TV and streaming devices including DISH Hopper, DIRECTV, AT&T U-verse, Samsung, LG, Roku, TiVo and Google TV.

Tap, tap, tap... and it's all configured and ready to go.

A guide of nothing.

Listings are blank. Check support forums, lots of complaints but no responses. Positive reviews are years old like the app. Don't waste tour time on this.

Very happy with this app!

I realize there are a lot of things this app can do, but I really only use it for one thing. I am constantly reading reviews of tv shows and this is the only way I can tell who is streaming it and at what price point. The search functionality is perfect. And if I stumble onto something I haven't heard of, or I want to wait to see if I can get a show free w/Netflix or Prime or Hulu, I just save it I have no explanation for the bad reviews. This app delivers its promise from my opinion.

Never works. Ever.

The tv listings are always blank, which defeats the entire purpose. 😡

Buddy tv

Works perfect! Exactly same channel line up as my cable box shows. I'm On time warner cable. 6/10/17. Hasn't worked for months. Shows channel lineup but no shows. Giving up on it.

Horrible

Unsure what others see in this, but I wanted an app where I could simply find upcoming sporting events (boxing) for DirectTV. After a corny setup (who cares about "vibes" and all that other stuff)... the app couldn't even find boxing events (which are on tonight on Showtime--which I even listed as a favorite channel). This is a perfect example of an app that does everything except what you want it to. Don't waste your time with this app if you are wanting to search for tv shows. But you get vibes (oh they never loaded either after waiting for 3+ minutes). Time out much? Wow. The worst app I've ever come across, I truly mean that.

Still a 32-bit app. Please update or it's gone

This app will no longer work at all when IOS 11 comes out in the Fall. Needs to be updated ASAP or else this nice app is DEAD!
