THE DESCRIPTION:
“TV.com” allows you to access some television channels and shows on your mobile.

THE GOOD:
Search for clips by show , channel or customize your own feed with your favorite content. You can check out featured videos, most popular, or view categories for each channel. Everything is organized to help you find what you’re looking for faster, and you can enter your own search if you know exactly what you want. The app offers shows from Showtime, CBS, ET and a few other channels, with preview clips and some full episodes. If you missed a show, you read synopses on the application to stay on track.

THE BAD:
The number of channels is limited, and not all of the shows feature full episodes. Even if you wanted to watch an episode, the loading takes a while and the video does not run smoothly. The app only lists the day the show airs without specifics times, so you be able to rely on this as a watching guide. There are also ads in the margins of the screen.

THE BOTTOM LINE:
This is database of content from a handful of television channels. You can keep track of past episodes and see which shows are available on each channel, but the video is pretty useless. If the app features one or two of your favorite channels, this may be a convenient service to have. Check out ‘i.TV” to stay on top of movies and the most popular shows on primetime television.
