## TV Towers USA Description
TV Towers USA is a map of digital TV broadcasting towers in the United States and its territories plus a select number of Canadian stations. The database includes over 2000 stations and over 1000 repeaters. My users include avid RVers who roam from region to region and need to locate available TV networks, and homeowners setting up a new antenna system. 

Apple Watch (Series 5) users can make use of their compass with the optional in-app purchase of an embedded watch app. 
 
There is an alternate compass tab which shows the direction of stations within a 45 mile radius—given enough screen space—just look over your phone to see which way to point your antenna.

Pinch to zoom into your locality, or hit the circular location button to concentrate on local stations. If more than 80 stations are in the area being viewed, a random assortment of 80 stations will be displayed.

There is no "phoning home" with data, personal or not.  If a data connection is available, the FCC servers will be asked for contour plot data when a tower is selected. This will show up as a blue overlay showing the calculated area over which the signal will drop off by at most 35 dBu. Basically, this is the area where an antenna not too near the ground has a chance to receive the signal; your luck will vary. Once downloaded, the data is stored for the next time you select the tower.

Errors and omissions are to be expected especially for stations with low power licenses. Please e-mail the support address if you find a glaring omission or error; I'll need a call sign and a TV network.

## TV Towers USA Reviews in United States

### ***** "Don’t waste money on fancy signal finders. This works!"
I was looking on Amazon and Walmart for a signal finder. Prices varied from $25 to $100+ with mixed reviews. I found this app again with some mixed reviews but for only $2 I thought I would give it a try. I used the compass to position my cheap indoor antenna. I went from having only 7 channels in the bedroom to almost 50. I did the same in the living room which seemed to be doing better and I went from 30ish channels to almost 50. This $2 has saved me a lot of money as I was even considering prior to this getting an outdoor antenna professionally installed. In addition to all the extra channels all the ones I already had are showing so much clearer and are not randomly scrambling.
-- Shirley19863673, 2024-08-20

### ***** "All of the tower apps are great and great reference tool."
This is a great app for a helping hand on knowledgeable projects.
I would highly recommend getting this app today without any hesitation.
-- Dave Freeman 55, 2023-12-22

### ***** "Quit working on 2 iPhone"
IOS 16.1.2 turned off compass calibration but the compass still worked perfectly only the TV towers app quick working on 2 different iphones.  🤷🏻‍♂️.   Working again after turning it back on.
-- Judy309, 2022-12-07

### ***** "A helpful resource"
So nice to have a view of tower locations to tweak one’s antenna.
-- 372212, 2022-08-29

### ***** "Delightfully surprised!"
Oh my! It works SO well! I’ve been struggling with lining up my antenna for the last 2 years. Then I came across this app! At first I was a bit confused on how to use it but then found a YouTube video explaining how to use it…. So simple!  Went out and tried it and with one twist of the pole I had all the channels from the closest tower! No rescanning, no running back and forth between the TV a and the outdoor antenna, pure bliss!
-- smusmu2, 2022-08-27

### *---- "Cr@p of an app. Customer service is worthless."
Don’t waste your money. I contacted CS and of course they blame my phone.  I have never had a problem with an app before now I do and it’s my phone’s fault. Garbage app with garbage support.
-- TitusIsMyNameOh, 2021-11-01

### ****- "A Really Good App"
I have used other apps in the past and this is now probably my favorite.  I was impressed with how Glenn responds (quickly) to questions and suggestions.
Another example of Glenn’s explanation was his discussion on the difference between True and Magnetic North (and how to switch the iPhone Compass app from magnetic to true North. Because this app uses True North.
After those discussions, there is one enhancement that I think would be a good addition.  In map, you can see stations any distance from you (by varying the zoom). But in the Compass tab, the app is limited to 60 mile radius.  I would like to see the ability to vary the radius (from 60 miles) to other distances. I ran into this instance in Dubuque, IA where I was receiving stations outside the (fixed) 60 mile radius and had to use the other tabs/detail section to get a compass bearing.
That is why I didn’t give it 5 stars (even though I feel it does deserves more than 4 stars 🙂).
-- NoNickname!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, 2021-07-17

### ***-- "It’s ok"
The contours button doesn’t work. The compass won’t show stations further away than about 40 miles.
-- Nate Lee-Wolf, 2021-03-08

### ***** "Perfect!  Worked as advertised!"
I had an antenna to mount in my attic space and in an area that was very difficult to get to.  Bagged up everything needed along with the antennae and proceeded to climb, crawl, and balance.  Mounted the antennae and aligned it with the App to hopefully never return.  Perfect alignment and strong signal on almost 70 channels!!  App worked perfectly!!
-- hiltonapp, 2021-01-12

### *---- "Confusing"
Upon few days of use, this app does not provide much information about stations and the map is confusing.
-- Hello Kitty Tennessee, 2020-12-09

### ***** "ONE TIME"
Just buy it. Developer will even answer questions they’re not obligated to answer. Give the man his two dollars...climb up on your roof ONE TIME...and be done with it. Don’t even mess around with the free apps.
-- ldoty1976, 2020-11-26

### ***** "Extemely helpful"
Purchased this app after seeing YouTube video. Had a little trouble initially with the compass feature. Wrote the developer and received a response quickly regarding a a setting in my iPhone. Worked great afterwards and used it to validate my OTA direction. Great app, recommend highly for “cut the cord” enthusiasts.
-- Stratkatt, 2020-10-04

### ***-- "Compass fail..."
I’m not sure if it’s just me, but the compass function does not work on my phone.
I look up the tower data and use my compass app on my phone to “aim”...kinda defeats the purpose. I’ll update if it starts working...
-- LOL Below Me, 2020-01-14

### *---- "Mr"
The compass does not work, which was the only reason I got this app. Don’t wast your money if your looking to use the compass.
-- Take The Safety Off, 2019-11-24

### ***** "Very useful app"
If you’re installing an antenna, this app is priceless. You can clearly see where your local stations are located with a compass that makes it easy to point the antenna without needing a partner to check the reception or making a hundred trips up and down the ladder. It’s simple and packed with lots of useful information. Thanks for making this handy tool.
-- LZ130, 2019-10-14

### ***** "Great useful app for OTA users"
What a great app!   At first, I was hesitant and it would not believe it would work until I start viewing on channels that I know I had issue on prior to the adjustment.  Thank you so much for the app.
-- probie.2019, 2019-07-26

### ***** "Awesome for Finding Stations"
As an RV’er, TV Towers is how we find local channels everywhere we stay. We know exactly which direction to point our antenna for best reception.
-- hdjjenfjfkjfjsoi, 2019-06-25

### ***** "Great App"
Overall really happy with this app
-- Ja57927, 2019-06-22

### *---- "Not current"
Not current towers
-- willnottakereview, 2019-06-08

### ***-- "Use of"
Not very useful if you’re having problems with receiving antenna strength problems and a directional HD antenna.
