Winegard FL5500A Amped Digital HD Indoor Antenna works GREAT
By Damoo318 on Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2025
I live in South Philly about 10 to 15 miles out from most Major Networks and have tested other products in the past that had poor to no reception unless I went up 3 stories to get any type of reception. This product is currently taped on my Ceiling on the 1st floor and pulls in 22 channels when using the amplifier. I intend to move it to my bow window and now leave it on the 1st. floor. I would suggest you load the WINEGARD APP and test to see the best location to place the FlatWave Amped indoor TV Antenna as it works GREAT and will make the installation easy . Outstanding product.

Decent antenna with an awful app
By Aaron S. on Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2022
The first thing i noticed was the thinness of the antenna. Using the included command strips, it worked just fine placed behind my TV. It's basically invisible and pulls in all but the weakest signals. I have no complaints about signal reception. In contrast to the well thought out antenna hardware, the instructions included in the box encourage using an app to complete setup which is, in a word, awful. Save your sanity and just don't use it. Really. Most modern TV sets have automatic tuning and signal strength meters. Just use those instead. How awful is the app? Let us count the ways: 1) Inexplicably, the app requires signing up for an account with Winegard. For a TV antenna. Are you kidding me?! Make it an option for the exceedingly rare case of someone that doesn't want to just setup the one thing they bought so they can get on with their life, but don't make it mandatory. 2) After signing up, the app tries to find the antenna by WiFi, Bluetooth, or using the camera on your phone to scan the tiniest barcode on the antenna amplifier. No combination of turning things off and on, scanning by barcode, or locating by bluetooth (which it totally connected and found) would let setup continue. 3) The app kept displaying an error message that reads, "That QR Code has already been used in the registration process or has been deactivated." Like hell it has. I just bought the damn thing. 4) After this error appears, the app locks up and the only way to continue is to quit and restart the app. 5) The hamburger menu in the app has items for "Data Calculator", "Find a Dealer", and "Test Internet Speed". Who is their target audience for these features? It also has a "Manage Devices" item that you might _think_ would allow managing the aforementioned deactivated or previously registered device, but no. It simply reports "No Products Registered". To whoever wrote this app: Your code is bad and you should feel bad.
