TV Towers USA is a map of digital TV broadcasting towers in the United States and its territories plus a select number of Canadian stations. The database includes over 2000 stations and over 1000 repeaters. My users include avid RVers who roam from region to region and need to locate available TV networks, and homeowners setting up a new antenna system.

Apple Watch (Series 5) users can make use of their compass with the optional in-app purchase of an embedded watch app.

There is an alternate compass tab which shows the direction of stations within a 45 mile radius—given enough screen space—just look over your phone to see which way to point your antenna.

Pinch to zoom into your locality, or hit the circular location button to concentrate on local stations. If more than 80 stations are in the area being viewed, a random assortment of 80 stations will be displayed.

There is no "phoning home" with data, personal or not. If a data connection is available, the FCC servers will be asked for contour plot data when a tower is selected. This will show up as a blue overlay showing the calculated area over which the signal will drop off by at most 35 dBu. Basically, this is the area where an antenna not too near the ground has a chance to receive the signal; your luck will vary. Once downloaded, the data is stored for the next time you select the tower.

Errors and omissions are to be expected especially for stations with low power licenses. Please e-mail the support address if you find a glaring omission or error; I'll need a call sign and a TV network.

TV Towers USA App Comments & Reviews

TV Towers USA Positive Reviews

Fantastic app. Has no comparisons.This is a fantastic app if you need to point a TV antenna (or FM or AM with the developers other apps). Or see the distance between you and a specific station’s transmitter site. The interface is clean and organized, it looks and operates like a million bucks. Also the developer once responded to an email where I had mentioned a tower had moved, and within about a day he found some new way to update his databases to reflect it. Phenomenal. Buy the bundle and get all three. TV, FM, and AM. It’s a good deal and could be fun and/or useful!!!.Version: 1.8.6

A Really Good AppI have used other apps in the past and this is now probably my favorite. I was impressed with how Glenn responds (quickly) to questions and suggestions. Another example of Glenn’s explanation was his discussion on the difference between True and Magnetic North (and how to switch the iPhone Compass app from magnetic to true North. Because this app uses True North. After those discussions, there is one enhancement that I think would be a good addition. In map, you can see stations any distance from you (by varying the zoom). But in the Compass tab, the app is limited to 60 mile radius. I would like to see the ability to vary the radius (from 60 miles) to other distances. I ran into this instance in Dubuque, IA where I was receiving stations outside the (fixed) 60 mile radius and had to use the other tabs/detail section to get a compass bearing. That is why I didn’t give it 5 stars (even though I feel it does deserves more than 4 stars 🙂)..Version: 1.11.4

Great customer supportBought this app and loaded it on both my iPad and iPhone. The iPad worked great but on the iPhone, the compass part didn't work. Sent a support email and got a response in minutes. After a few back and forth emails, Glenn instructed me to change a setting on my iPhone and it works perfectly now. The best and most timely customer service I have ever received over the internet..Version: 1.8.2

Very useful appIf you’re installing an antenna, this app is priceless. You can clearly see where your local stations are located with a compass that makes it easy to point the antenna without needing a partner to check the reception or making a hundred trips up and down the ladder. It’s simple and packed with lots of useful information. Thanks for making this handy tool..Version: 1.9.4

Perfect! Worked as advertised!I had an antenna to mount in my attic space and in an area that was very difficult to get to. Bagged up everything needed along with the antennae and proceeded to climb, crawl, and balance. Mounted the antennae and aligned it with the App to hopefully never return. Perfect alignment and strong signal on almost 70 channels!! App worked perfectly!!.Version: 1.11.2

Best app purchase... EVERThis app is great. The best purchase I’ve ever made on the iPhone App Store. TV towers USA Shows all of my channels and the compass even helps. Almost instant tech-support from the author. So many times I drop a few bucks and feel cheated with all kinds a junkie iPhone apps, this is not one of them. It’s worth 10 times the cost..Version: 1.8.6

Just what I neededI manage several conference rooms and we use OTA during catastrophic events. Instead of browsing website and feeding information I can open this app, finds my location automatically, choose a channel and shows you where to point..Version: 1.9.3

Highly recommendedAmazing tool, works just as described. The ability to see the map with the transmitter locations, stations and all the information on what's being broadcasted makes it super easy to use. The compass feature further simplifies the process..Version: 1.8.2

Quit working on 2 iPhoneIOS 16.1.2 turned off compass calibration but the compass still worked perfectly only the TV towers app quick working on 2 different iphones. 🤷🏻‍♂️. Working again after turning it back on..Version: 1.11.7

All of the tower apps are great and great reference tool.This is a great app for a helping hand on knowledgeable projects. I would highly recommend getting this app today without any hesitation..Version: 1.12

Great useful app for OTA usersWhat a great app! At first, I was hesitant and it would not believe it would work until I start viewing on channels that I know I had issue on prior to the adjustment. Thank you so much for the app..Version: 1.9.4

ONE TIMEJust buy it. Developer will even answer questions they’re not obligated to answer. Give the man his two dollars...climb up on your roof ONE TIME...and be done with it. Don’t even mess around with the free apps..Version: 1.11.2

Great programmer and even better app!Do NOT go camping without this application!!! I bought this app some time ago. I had just purchased an RV and use this app while camping. This is one of the best apps I have ever purchased! It works extremely fast and the accuracy is amazing! The programmer who wrote the app is very concerned about those who purchase it and is great with updates and follow-up to questions! Do NOT go camping without this application!.Version: 1.8.2

I really like this app works great for aiming off air antennasLove it works great If you installing a off sit antenna this is a great app for aiming you antenna I’m a professional installer and use it every day Thanks.Version: 1.8.6

Terrific appNo more guessing where the TV towers are. With this app, I was able to aim my antenna in the direction of the towers and get all my local channels crystal clear..Version: 1.8.6

Awesome for Finding StationsAs an RV’er, TV Towers is how we find local channels everywhere we stay. We know exactly which direction to point our antenna for best reception..Version: 1.9.4

Worth it!This app takes the guess work out of where to aim your antenna! I picked up an additional 18 channels! 😃.Version: 1.8.6

Compass fail...I’m not sure if it’s just me, but the compass function does not work on my phone. I look up the tower data and use my compass app on my phone to “aim”...kinda defeats the purpose. I’ll update if it starts working....Version: 1.10.0

Umm...Wow! You don’t run across many great apps like this very often. Fantastic job Mr. developer keep up the good work.Version: 1.9.1

A helpful resourceSo nice to have a view of tower locations to tweak one’s antenna..Version: 1.11.6

Super easy to use.Great app for finding TV towers, and lining up your antenna. Rob.Version: 1.9

It’s okThe contours button doesn’t work. The compass won’t show stations further away than about 40 miles..Version: 1.11.3

Use ofNot very useful if you’re having problems with receiving antenna strength problems and a directional HD antenna..Version: 1.9.3

JDAwesome tool for setting my antenna while on the road..Version: 1.8.2

Great AppOverall really happy with this app.Version: 1.9.4

Great App - good job developer(s)After upgrading my cell phone just 2 days ago, I wondered .... "Maybe there is a better antenna pointing App out there..." I had an app I downloaded years ago that was terrible. With the new phone I deleted that app and started looking for a new one that would help me point my rabbit-ears type antenna better. I found TV Towers. Having cut the cable years ago, I am fully committed to antenna TV. This app is THE BEST for visually mapping where the towers are, what networks broadcast from those towers, and how to point (again visually) your antenna PRECISELY to the tower. I love how you can touch on detailed info on a station/network and it gives you a graphic at the bottom that works with your compass to literally line-up (even more precisely) your antenna with the tower. There are many other useful tools built in as well..Version: 1.6.4

A fantastic DX'ing tool. Love it!!Generally Helpful app designers have developed three great apps that I use all the time. FM, AM, and TV Towers USA. A hobby of mine is DX'ing, otherwise know as the hobby of tuning in stations broadcasting from distant locations. These apps are very helpful because it shows your location and the location of other transmitters throughout the country. This app has helped me take my hobby to the next level. I also love how it tells me exactly which direction to point my antenna. The app works great and is well worth the pocket change that it cost. If your a radio and television DX'er, this is the app for you. If you travel a lot, this app will also prove to be very helpful in finding a radio or television station that you want to tune in. Great idea and very nice apps . I highly recommend them..Version: 1.5

RV useThis has become my go-to app when traveling. Once parked, it shows which channels should be receivable at my location. A particularly useful feature is as I rotate the iPhone/iPad so that the pointer aligns with the desired tower location, the top of the device points in the direction I need to point my directional antenna. This has eliminated the frustration from doing failed channel scans because the antenna was pointed the wrong way. It is good to see that the author updates the app..Version: 1.7

Huge TimesaverI've been on my roof many times with a transmission tower map and a compass trying to get my antenna to reach its full potential. This app made it so easy! My signal strength went up and I gained four more channels in the process. Save some time and download this app. It's totally worth the price..Version: 1.7.3

Awesome for finding antennas while RV'ingWe've been full time RV'ing for a year or so. Each time we stop I need to locate antennas. Before this app I needed to use 3 different tools to get the information I needed. This app does it all in one, and so far does it wonderfully. Thanks for designing this..Version: 1.8.1

Very usefulAs the author mentions, if you're an RV'er, this is a very useful tool to have. It would be even better if I could drop a pin at an arbitrary location in addition to measuring from my current GPS position..Version: 1.0.2

Must have for ATSCI heard about this app on the HDTV Podcast awhile back and I'm glad I picked it up. With it, I was able to tweak my indoor antenna. The result is that many local channels went for 50% signal strength to 70+%. It even helped pick up some of the more elusive towers..Version: 1.0.2

Very very helpfulI live in a rural area. I bought an antenna n I couldn't find any signal at all. Until I bought this app. It helped me find the one exact spot to get signals. App is worth every penny!.Version: 1.6.4

Great appThis all has a fair amount of nice features. I really wish they would enter the ability to see an elevation profile from the TV tower to the home antenna. I'd really like to quickly and easily find out if a hill could be the cause of poor TV signal..Version: 1.6.5

Makes antenna aiming a snapUse this with my RV, reveals the stations available in an area and call letters ( so can check listings online). And so easy to point the antenna- I suggest this app to other rv campers as a top time saver!.Version: 1.7.3

Great appGreat app for RVers. I thought I knew which way the local stations were located until I loaded this app. Found out there were stronger stations 180 degrees from the direction I was pointing..Version: 1.3

TV towers USA reviewI used this app to fine tune my antenna at my lake home located on a remote island near Canada. It worked great and reception is much improved. This should be utilized by anyone using an antenna for TV!.Version: 1.7.2

AwesomeFar more intuitive and accurate than another app I began with. I increased the number of channels accessible in my area threefold. If you're cutting the cord, this app is a must..Version: 1.6.5

Great appGreat app. Shows where the TV transmitters are and points you in the right direction. Even tells you the details and distance of the transmitters..Version: 1.5

Extremely HelpfulHave found this app extremely helpful, pointing the directional antenna on our RV in the right direction in marginal reception areas..Version: 1.6.5

Excellent!I'm an over the road truck driver and this helps me "point the truck in the right direction ".Version: 1.6.5
