TV Guide Magazine

I bought this for my Mother so she would know what shows to watch on tv/netflix etc. Too much focus on network tv, celebrity crap and fluff. We need more reviews to make this worthwhile.

I have been a lifetime subscriber to Entertainment Weekly. I used that magazine as my reference as to what to buy for music and what to watch. The publication is now a monthly one and not big on disappointing reviews.My mother-in-law passed away, and we started receiving the balance of her TV Guide subscription. When I saw it, I was like, who needs a paper version of what's on TV, and besides with so many apps, does it matter what's on channel 10 anymore.Whoa, I could not have been so wrong. TV Guide covers everything on TV: streaming channels, regular cable, apps..the whole thing. It has brought to my attention many shows that I would never have seen or considered, given the enormous amount of available content to watch today.While they usually steer away from negative reviews, they have a "what to watch" section and a "new to streaming "section" by channel, so if you only have Netflix, you don't have to look at the apps you don't have.Highly recommend it if you watch any video content!

The price for the print edition with the digital version included for free is very good--much better than any offer I receive in the mail. HOWEVER, I live in the Pacific time zone and the Eastern edition grid kept appearing on Fire Tablet. I talked to numerous people at both TV Guide and Amazon trying to get the Pacific edition. Each said the problem was with the other. It was so frustrating. During my last attempt to correct this I was transferred to 5 different people at Amazon. The last rep in the Kindle department told me that the problem was with TV guide's app. And when I contacted TV Guide they said no, the problem is with Amazon. They really had me going in circles. Finally, quite by accident, I discovered that the Pacific grid is also on my tablet--but it's well hidden. If you're having trouble finding it, slide out the table of contents from the left side of the digital TV Guide. Then swipe up, up, up through the entire list of articles, don't give up--the very last item after the Crossword, Sudoku and Cheers & Jeers is "Pacific Grid." Hallelujah! How funny that it took this 68-year-old woman to figure out what a multitude of techies couldn't! I'm still laughing!

The price was too good to pass up. It also let's me know about new shows that I may not know exist.

It seems like forever that I have had a subscription to TV Guide. As my renewal date was approaching I was undecided if I would renew it. The price for renewing the subscription was more than I wanted to pay, so I decided not to.Just after the subscription ended I received a notice from Amazon about getting TV Guide with their Newsstand. There were two options, the first was the Kindle edition which renews automatically (until cancelled) every month for $1.99 after the initial free 28 day trial period (approximately $21.89 for the first year. The second was a combination Kindle and printed copy for $20 (1 year), which is the one I selected.Access to the Kindle version occurred within a couple of hours once my request was accepted. The details for the printed copy indicated 4 to 6 weeks but I received it the next week.One quick note: I tried using the Kindle app on my PC to access this subscription but it appears that app does not allow access to the Newsstand. I chatted with an Amazon customer support rep and the issue has been forwarded to the next level.

I find out so much information going on in the television world in a timely manner with TV Guide. Because this world is changing and moving so quickly, especially technology, it's a such a pleasure that TV Guide understands they are still needed and wanted. I have an attic antenna for local channels and subscribe to a couple of streaming services. With TV Guide, I know ahead of time what's coming on now, being renewed or dropped for the new seasons. There are a lot of stories about the programs, actors, themes, the why, when, what and where's of what's going on for not only the local channels, but the streaming service companies also. One more thing; the subscription is very affordable and I subscribed for online and home delivery. I like reading the paper magazine, (very colorful and large size) the best. Thank you TV Guide

The paper version of TV Guide is delivered early in the week and the Kindle Fire version is delivered to my Kindle Fire Thursday mornings. When you access WiFi the TV Guide automatically downloads-I go to the Newsstand on my Fire and download it to my device. The Kindle version is easy to navigate, the articles are easy to read and can be pinched and dragged to make them bigger and easier to read if need be. Tap the screen and pictures of the pages show up on the bottom of the screen so that you can scroll through to find the schedule for the day you're looking for or to re read a specific article. As with the print edition they only show the prime time hours and no day time hours. I received the electronic version of the Comic Con issue of TV guide-it has all 8 covers (which is a nice bonus - I have saved that one so that it doesn't disappear from the Kindle in a couple weeks). However, I did not get a copy of the print version. I like the dual option so much that I renewed for another year. FYI: there is a crossword puzzle and Sudoku on the Kindle Fire version, but you can't do the puzzles. :-(
