  • New update is messed up

    Every single time this app is updated things get worse, it was fine a few days ago I could watch my shows on the app. Now it won’t let me....getting errors customer service is pretty bad too.. Here’s an idea when you build an app how about testing it thoroughly before you release it. I don’t imagine your company being around much longer…jmo

    Update: once again another update and another epic fail I don’t think this company cares at all how bad this app is now it just sits at the welcome screen for anywhere from 1 to 5 min just to load half the time I can’t get anything to stream to my tablet at all and other times I’m in the middle of watching a show and the app force closes this is just unacceptable.

    Developer Response

    [KP] Thanks for your feedback. We have already released a patch to fix streaming from TiVo Stream devices. Please try our 4.5.1 version and give us a feedback.
  • Audio only

    Was waiting for this app to finally get updated so I could “see” my recorded programs instead of only hear them, but better luck next (1-3) year I guess…
    When starting a program, about half the time it will start up displaying video and playing the audio, but if you skip ahead/fast forward or rewind, when it resumes you will only get a blank screen with audio. Sometimes skipping ahead or back (till you hit a sweet spot) will return it to normal but if you over/under shoot and try to go back or forward a little to compensate, you lose video again – downloading the video to the app is even worse since 100% of the time there is no video. iPhone 14 PM with latest firmware - been this way the last couple(?) years…

  • Out of home streaming not reliable

    Usually works great within my network, although it often loses my signin and I have to login again.

    It very often forgets it’s been set up for out of network streaming and requires that to be set up again - which needs to be done within network, which isn’t helpful if you’re away.

    That bug bit me on a recent vacation. I prepared beforehand by confirming out of network worked… and then it didn’t.

  • Working now

    Every few months, I seem to update my review for this app. When it is working, it is great but too often it’s buggy. For the last couple of months it’s been working perfectly so I give it five stars.
  • Won’t open

    I have several times to open this app and nothing happens! What garbage!
  • Garbage App

    When it works, which is rarely without reloading, restarting, reconfiguring you can’t watch your own recording, can “Only watch on TV”. Absolutely garbage. Worst streaming app I’ve ever used or even heard of.
  • Works well, invaluable when traveling

    Even on a bad 5mbps connection it is usable, but on a good connection it is great. When mirroring to an Apple TV it’s a little confusing to FF and reward you have to use the remote and not the in app controls. Very happy with this version. Most of the bad reviews are for the older version.
  • Closes

    Closes immediately when I open it.
  • Streaming

    This app is the worst, spins and spins. Streaming is next to nothing and yet with all the users you think they would value their customers more than they do! I’m in the road with my husband whom is a truck driver and at times this is the only thing I have to pass the time. I heard that Rogers is now in my area and I’ll be checking into their pkgs seeming Cogeco is the worst for pkgs, you need to rob a bank to be able to afford theirs! If I could give it a 0 rating I would give them that, all in all it’s not worth my time or money anymore!!!!

  • Horrible Development

    You people are absolutely terrible developers. I have used this app for years and it still has the same problems - shows get interrupted during streaming, have to constantly set up streaming (really?? you can’t do this without the user having to interact with the software??). I have extremely fast internet upload and download speeds with very low latency. My home network is extremely fast with a 1Gbps backbone, also with very low latency. The user experience with your app is so awful! Why haven’t you fixed your streaming problems? Every other reputable app developer can get an app to stream, reliably. Perhaps, you don’t care? Then, terminate the app!!
