Best iOS app for TVHeadend

Only issue is the epg has only worked once. Thats on two appletv and an iPhone.
Great job so far, love the pause and UX.

Needs more work

Very good effort so far, but not quite ready as a replacement for TvhClient

Doesn't work at all

Using iPad connects ok to TVheadend on Rasberry Pi 4, lists the channels but that's as far as it gets. No channel will play.
The EPG is all empty and so are the recording lists.
The scheduled recordings list shows what's due to be recorded but nothing else.
Deleted the app.

Needs work

Got it to connect to server
EPG would not populate
I was able to watch a show
Support link takes you to an unrelated app ?!
Needs work I’m afraid function way below competition
Best of luck with it though

Doesn’t Work

The app crashes when tapping “Guide” which appears to be the only way to watch Live TV. (App works for watching recorded shows, although without the Guide you can’t set it to record either.) I have an iPhone 6s Plus running iOS 13.1.2

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback. I am looking at the crash an hope to have it fixed in the next update.
