Feersum UK TV Guide [Android]

Notice: This Service is planning to end in September 2021. Please read on for details.

The Feersum UK TV Guide has been online for over eight years. It is written and maintained by a team of one - me. Maintaining the service and obtaining the data feeds costs a fair amount of money, which has been covered by advertisements and subscriptions in the app.

Unfortunately, as the app market has matured the income generated from ‘free’ apps has declined, to the point where continuing to run the TV Guide loses money. The vast majority of the thousands of people who use the app ignore the adverts and do not subscribe.

The app was written simply because I wanted a responsive, easily accessed overview of what was on TV. I personally use it on a regular basis for exactly that reason. Sadly, in the current economic climate, I cannot afford to keep it running unless it can generate income.

Recently the app has received minimal updates as I have had to focus on other work. Now though, I must make the difficult decision to end the service entirely.

Therefore, in September I plan to stop providing TV Schedules, and the app will no longer work. I’m sorry for the users who have found it valuable, and thank you all for your support over the years.
