RADIO TIMESReviews 

I have been very patient
I hoped the online Radio Times would eventually see sense and re-vert to the old version which was well laid out and had what I wanted in a TV guide, I was wrong.
They still have not sorted this so called up-grade out and I will wait no more for them to see the error of their ways.
I have now got my listings from TV guide and am very pleased.
Many, many people are doing the same

The new upgrade to the listings page is dreadful. To name a few things: 1) Each time you open the page your channel selections have gone back to ALL and you have to click 'reset'. What is the point! 2) The previous version allowed you to hover over a programme and a pop-up gave you brief details with the option of more. 3) The font/colour/general image of the page is bland and unattractive... Not a fan! Please change it back.

Radio times what have you done!!! Bloody awful upgrade. Stopped using it now 😡

Absolute rubbish I have always used radio

I take the Radio Times on subscription. The magazine for week beginning 19th March 2022 has not been received by myself nor my neighbour in WA15 postcode area. Copies are on the supermarket shelves though. It is now Wednesday 23rd and the post has been delivered but the copy for wb 26th March not been received yet either although there are x2 days to go this week. Subscription extended by 1 week so far after complaint. The service is not good enough!

One expects a period of adjustment to an upgrade but this one appears to be quite astonishingly ill thought out in all respects - even without the frequent server errors. Hope it will be revised in the near future. Otherwise no-one will see those annoying adverts.

Now unusable. Calling it an upgrade is delusional

Terrible "upgrade" removing most of the useful information - like digital channel number - and making a personal selection of channels very difficult to maintain. Hovering over a programme has also disappeared, now you have to click onto the transmission, and then it is not so easy to move onto another.

Terrible. Cannot save prefrences for the next day. No channel numbers. This is hopeless. Please revert to the old system.

God, what a mess! Overlapping programmes - click on this try to get rid of that! Is there another tv programme website? Times up radio times!!!!!!

Absolutely awful, dreadful to use certainly not user friendly for me. Apparently I am not alone, other reviews are not so good. I will certainly be finding a better alternative.

Absolutely dire!! Who on earth decided to mess with this site is an idiot! Cannot be bothered to use this dreadful site now. Only one question, WHY???

Hopelessly slow, have given up trying to use it

Awful new site! Absence of information on hover over a program listing is a pain - clicking on the program is clunky and slower. If I then click on read more, it goes to popular channels rather than Freeview (which is what I would normally have selected). It seems to me that the site feels and looks far inferior to that which it replaced.

To me, the overall experience is lousy.

I am loathe to criticise the website developers, but who the hell sanctioned this unnecessary downgrade.

Just awful. Whoever designed that needs sacking! You click on a programme and then can’t close it down to return to main screen. Defaults to Popular channels won’t stay on Freeview.

TERRIBLE RE-VAMP

1.Removed channel numbers
2.Removed programme information
3.Deleted saved favourite channels

What are they trying to achieve?
What are the improvements?

Terrible user interface. Complete downgrade. Key features that made it useful like hover for more info. Doesn’t save preferences, so you have to log out and back in again for them to work. Unusable, awful, can’t stand it, now looking for a new ‘go to’ listings site.

They clearly have a vacancy for web designers as this latest 'upgrade' is just an embarrassment. The user interface for the TV Guide has lost a lot of the key features that made it useful but, at its most fundamental level, it simply does not work. When revisiting the site it does not reuse your previously saved settings, so you have to log out and back in again for them to work. Its pathetic! Their developers should be ashamed of themselves

I've been using the online version of the Radio Times for some years and have noticed a gradual deterioration in quality. However, this paled into insignificance compared to the latest 'revamp' of the total system.
1. Navigating through the site now works very slowly
2. There is no preview of the program content which means you have to click on and wait for the full review.
3. The icons for the program provider now has no identification of the channel number - freeview or otherwise.
All in all now a poor site and, surely, it was not trialed prior to going live. The old maxim applies "if it ain't bust, don't fix it"

The recent (Mar 2022) "improvements" to the tv listings website have made it MUCH worse:
- No pop-up info on mouse hover: this is a *massive* pain in the neck and enough on its own to make me look at alternatives.
- Clicking on a show to display the details in the new expanding box is really quite slow.
- The timeline left/right arrows no longer move back/ahead by the period that's displayed (to show you a whole new screen of stuff not already displayed), you have to click three times to get a similar effect and if you click quickly it doesn't necessarily register them all
- The new font/size/etc. doesn't seem as nice to read / look at as the old ones (though maybe that'll dissipate over time?)
