If you've got a cable subscription, the TV Guide mobile app might come in handy for tracking your favorite shows, but this app provides even more value to those who have taken the plunge into the world of cord cutting.
With the app, you're able to build a personalized watchlist for sports, shows and movies. When you want to watch something, the app spells out all of the options for you, including if the content can be streamed on-demand, purchased on DVD or if it is available to watch on TV. For content that will air live, the app lets users set notifications so that they can tune in at the right time. Other neat features of the app include filters that let users sort through channels, such as by those that only provide HD content.
