The application shows no development activity for over 99 months, far exceeding the threshold for a zombie classification. While a recent Android update in March 2026 suggests a potential revival or platform-specific maintenance, the lack of consistent release history across platforms indicates a lack of active development momentum. The latest release on Android focused on a total redesign, but this appears to be an isolated event rather than part of an ongoing release cycle.

Key takeaways for Programme TV français (FR)
Where is it heading?
The market for regional TV guides is consolidating around apps that offer native performance and granular personalization. Programme TV français (FR) is currently exposed due to its reliance on web-view wrappers and stagnant iOS development, which leaves it vulnerable to rivals with higher update cadences.
- The shift to browser-based architecture triggers privacy complaints, which erodes the daily active habit and increases churn risk.
- Excessive ad frequency disrupts the schedule utility, which compounds the negative sentiment already visible in the latest review sample.
The SWOT
- Personalized channel selection increases daily session frequency by surfacing relevant content first
- Replay integration extends content utility beyond live broadcast windows
- Native search filter expansion to match rival feature sets
- Privacy-focused UI overhaul to address user data concerns

This technical pivot has transformed a previously mixed sentiment profile into one dominated by privacy and ad-density concerns.
Bottom line
The transition to a browser-based architecture has eroded user trust, turning a core utility into a privacy liability. Replacing web-view wrappers with native components would address the primary churn driver and restore the app's competitive standing against native-first rivals.
