Does not show “my shows”

This app does not show our recorded programs. It’s says here that iPhone 14 is supported. But Astound help says it is not.

App is a waste of tome, whole company has been disappointing.

This company cannot get their act together. Download the app to find it will not let you stream anything. It works sporadically on your phone but you are unable to stream to anything big enough to actually see. Why pay for an account that doesn’t let you watch what you pay for?

Remote Function

I think Astound Tv app should have remote function to use with the mobile device.

Can’t watch if not on home network

What’s the point of loading and using this if you can’t watch unless your at home - pointless! What a waste of storage space

Channels keeps breaking up, freezes. Just like the old RCN.

Would have been considered good… in 2016

I think my TiVo service was better in 2016. There’s less functionality, very glitchy software, and terrible design. I get a lot of error messages and blank screens.

Also the cloud storage fills up very quickly so you’re prompted to pay for more.

This can’t compare to services like YouTube TV and Hulu +

Astound is bundled into my building fees, or I would have switched to another service already

Can’t log out - Error C636

Works find on my iPad, but I am unable to log out on both a brand new Apple TV and several Firesticks. The app issues a C636 error code and claims I must be logged into the internet to log out. The Apple TV is clearly connected to the internet and can access all services for all other installed apps. But the Astound TV+ app does not recognize this. Attempted to delete the app and reinstall, but the problem persists, suggesting there is some sort of permanent problem with this app.

We recently converted to IPTV TiVo boxes and a digital account, which is required for this to work. So I need to logout and log back in with the updated account info. But we are caught in this infinite failure mode. Very frustrating.

Can’t watch on any device

Please enable Picture in Picture.. currently every other app provides this features.. I see folks have already mentioned it in their comments from year ago.. please update.

Please enable streaming on laptop as well and only then send emails about watching live tv on “any device”.. laptop is a device too..
