The recent redesign update yielded a rating increase of +1.02 stars on Android, rising from a 3.0 pre-update baseline to a 4.02 post-update average. This positive shift is driven by user praise for the redesigned visual layout and improved accuracy for over-the-air antenna schedules. Reliability of this comparison is limited by a small pre-update sample size of two reviews.
