New version SUCKS
January 20, 2018

It used to be easy to use. But now, you can't find what your looking for. Whoever changed the format should be fired.

The 'new' listings guide is totally immune to being user friendly. So many good features used previously, which could be accessed by users for their individual preferences and needs have now disappeared. This is now a useless TV listings site, so I for one, will be switching to an alternative

I used to recommend zap2it to everyone. It was by far the most efficient way to find what you want to watch, now it actually seems the opposite, which has made me wonder if theyre trying to slow you down so you see more ads or something? Id actually rather pay upfront, or very small monthly subscription to get it back the way it used to be (course, thats only if they guarantee itll Stay that way!).

Hating the "new" Zap2it format, I set up 'TitanTV'. Now, after a week of using TitanTV I LOVE IT!... will keep zap2it as a back up.

New Grid is Awful
January 9, 2018

Why change what worked.
- You have to keep changing back to Favourite (star) channels
- Can't highlight my favourite shows on the grid
- On the old grid I could arrange channels in a preferred order
- liked seeing 5 hours at a glance

I have been using Zap2it for years. Loved it. Do not find this new grid very user friendly and very slow. Please let us go back to the old grid. I will be looking for something else
Also there is no where to change my email address. The one in my login has not been in existence for some time.

Why? Its dreadful now.
January 6, 2018

It was the best! It wasnt broken. They tossed it. Why not give us a choice...
Old or new? Seeking alternative, of course. Shame on designers. You should be
Embarrassed by your new site. Come to the light.

I will give websites a couple of chances, but eventually, I will simply stop using websites that habitually lie to me.

Why is it that the developer community seems to have absolutely no integrity?
Why do they always claim that their new versions are better, greater and more intuitive when in actuality, the second you try to use it you find that: it's not better, it's not greater, it's not more intuitive and it simply does not work?

I went to /titantv.com and will be using that site for a while.
I am fed up with IT lying to me,

Problems with login
January 5, 2018

If I could I would give 1/4 star for all the help available to fix this problem. I've had an account for YEARS. And suddenly I am not in their system. Hate what they did. What happened to" if it ain't broke, don't fix it"? Cannot login, cannot contact company. Cannot, cannot, cannot...

The web developers at ZapToIt are at it again. Everything is redesigned and now one cannot login or create an account. It was wonderful before. I used the link at the bottom of their page to contact them, filled out all the information including my problem and comments about the change, and sending the form results in an error so it also doesn't work! TitanTV here I come!

New Site Is Broken
January 4, 2018

The "new improved" site no longer allows me to login or create customizations. This site is not even up to alpha level standards.

It was fine the way it was. WHY? Why change? You can't log in anymore, you can't start a new account, you can't change the grid from 3 hours to 6, and you can't filter out channels you don't care for. Guess I'll try Titan or whatever it's called.

What possesses "smarter than you" people to think they can make something that is already great better? I only wish Zap2It was a paid subscriber service so I could at least remove my subscription fee. I hope all advertisers listen to users and run from Zap2It and their owner. Thanks for nothing. Try Titan TV folks.

WHY?
January 4, 2018

Why mess with the old grid? It allowed you to see so much more on your screen. It was invaluable to scanning days and weeks for programs.

God-awful redesign, just terrible. Nearly useless to me now.

Efile.com

They're a rip-off. My return was rejected by the IRS 4 times through Efile.com, and it cost 25.00 to have to file it myself.

Garbage

Now that I've had a few weeks to adapt to TV without Zap, I find I've had to replace their old full screen Zap2it format with a combination of ontvtonight TV and Titan TV.

Together it's workable, and each fills in some of what the other is missing in their format.
But even together, these two are not as good as the old Zap2it full screen TV listing format was.

As others have pointed out, Zap2it was as near to perfect as a TV listing can get, and any change meant a change for the worse.

I have emailed Zap2it to let them know how I feel about their change.
Have you?

I Give Up
January 4, 2018

Every once in awhile zap2it seems to ramp up its efforts to alienate all of their users. I've stuck it out through the many problems, including my entire account seemingly disappearing a few times, forcing me to start a new account using the same email I always have. And it has happened again: Another new site change and overhaul and redesign which means both accounts that I had are now gone. So congratulations zap2it. You've wanted me gone for a long time and you've now finally done it. Why don't you just shut down instead of making it so frustrating for users that they choose to give up? It would be more effective if you just packed it in.
