CompareTV app questions
Is the CompareTV app free?
Yes. It is the CompareTV website installed as an app, so there is nothing to pay and no app store account needed. It takes almost no space on your phone.
Does it work on iPhone?
Yes. Add CompareTV to your Home Screen from Safari's Share menu. Apple allows alerts from Home Screen apps on iOS 16.4 or later, so update your iPhone if alerts do not offer to turn on.
Which alerts will I get?
Only the ones you pick: an alert about an hour before each game of the teams you follow, with where to watch it in Australia, and an alert when a title on My list lands on one of your services or starts a new season. Nothing else, and you can turn each off on this page.
How do I turn alerts off?
On this page, press Turn off on this device, or untick an alert. You can also block notifications for CompareTV in your phone's settings. Email alerts are separate and live in your notification settings.
Is it in the App Store or Google Play?
Not yet. The installed app does everything the store version would, and updates itself every time we improve the site.
How do I remove it?
Like any app: press and hold the CompareTV icon and choose Remove App (iPhone) or Uninstall (Android). Your account, teams and list stay safe.
