Undecided on the value and usefulness of this antenna

This antenna (Clearstream 4 max) was highly recommended to me by a family member from another part of the country. It seemed a little pricey, but based on my relative's experience, I decided to give it a try. Easy assembly, my husband installed with no problems. We used the recommended app Antenna Direct, Antenna Point to find the nearest towers and pointed the antenna in that direction. We scanned with our Samsung Smart HDTV and it received ZERO channels. We corrected the direction and rescanned: ZERO channels. My husband got it to the highest point on our roof but the channels are still ZERO. There are some trees but we are far from the forest. Antennas Direct offered a 30 foot pole. Our HOA will not allow this. LOL So it's either a bad antenna or just a piece of junk. We're incredibly disappointed and are looking at other options like a preamp before sending it back. Right now we have a piece of useless contemporary art on our roof and continue to use Prime Video, Netflix and a streaming service with no local channels.
