World TV HD Lite - the whole world of television on the iPad?

The AppStore description for world TV HD Lite reads somewhat promising

More than 200 TV channels from around the world are to be received. This all in digital quality with high quality of image and sound, embedded in a very convenient and simple user interface. It is to work on iPhone and iPad and, so the description promises, "You will have no difficulty with ITV Digital!". And even a 4 star rating from over 450 reviews. Because you can do but actually wrong not much - or?

Well, the first mistake you can do with this app is much giving role description. Because of which astonishingly little true. The developer makes for one to verweden the error for Lite and full version of the same description. Instead of over 200 television programme are those 10. And not necessarily the most interesting. Then, the "HD" in the app name is somewhat misleading on a television access. As with HD television that has little to do (see second image). Finally, it is also not quite understand why is the talk of TV for iPhone and iPad. The app only runs on the iPad, a version for the iPhone does not exist. Not that that particular pity anyway…

World TV HD Lite

Of the 10 television channels, news and Eurosport are after all about BBC world. The rest are Russian and Arabic channels. But at least you can do is already a picture of the operation of the app and the broadcast-quality thus.

The operation is different from the description (comfortable and easy), suggests very minimalist. TV channels can be clicked through only by arrow keys. While you click through a few programs, is also quickly clear why "Change-over times" really hot "Switching times". You need at least abundant at switch-over time. A few seconds (feels like minutes) go at each channel change in the country.

The image quality is more than mixed. From normal TV (PAL) quality to programs that look as if you have zoomed in a postage-stamp-sized video to full screen, it's all there.

As the app could reach 4 stars in the AppStore is a mystery. Well, less if you read the abundant 5-star ratings. Because there is a striking accumulation of bad English ("super graphics and operation!") ("I would hope TV personally here world for domestic").

You can find World TV HD Lite in AppStore.
