In total, Freeview offers up to 70 channels, including 15 HD
channels, but the range of channels depends on where you live. If you’re
unsure what channels you can get, you can use Freeview’s coverage checker.
The
app is free to download and there are no subscription fees. The only
catch is that you need to have a handset running Android KitKat 4.4 or
above, plus an active Wi-Fi or data connection. When you first sign in
to the app, you'll need to confirm your location and then you’re ready
to start streaming.
To see a selection of shows, click the What’s
On tab and scroll through the visual guide showing you what’s on now,
and what’s on later.
The
On Demand tab is divided into genres. The first page shows the Top
Picks, based on what’s popular. You can then choose between Comedy,
Drama & Soaps, Entertainment, Factual, Kids, Lifestyle, Movies, and
Sport. At the time of writing, there's a tab showing all the content
relating to the 50th anniversary of the moon landing.
The third
menu tab is the Guide and shows every channel’s full listing for the
next seven days. Double-tap a channel name to set it as a favourite; to
see just your favourite channels, press the heart icon in the top
right-hand corner.
You can also set yourself reminders for upcoming shows by selecting the title from the grid and pressing the clock icon.
There's
also the option to search for shows, channels or on-demand services via
the search button. To watch on-demand shows, you need to download and
sign into (where necessary) the individual apps but you can access links
to each of these on the My Freeview tab.
If you're visually impaired, Freeview has designed the app to work with your phone's accessibility features, too.
