### 3/5 — Used to work! “Partial Fix for Recordings”

*2025-08-09, version 1.1.0*

Noticed recently that recordings no longer play correctly on iPad 6th Gen running iOS 16.5. No updates to iPad nor the app have been made since the recordings were made however they now will only play in a small square box and I cannot put them full screen. Very infuriating! App used to work pretty well before this. Not sure what’s caused it as nothing has changed.

Update - I have now discovered that within the files app on iPad, all recordings are stored as eye.tv video files. I found that by airdropping these to a Mac, I could watch them back using VLC. On top of that I used Handbrake to convert them back to MP4 so that I can watch them elsewhere. I believe there is also online websites that convert eye.tv files to mp4.

### 3/5 — Used to work!

### 3/5 — No epg

*2025-01-12, version 1.1.0*

The app does not include an epg and therefore no timed recordings

### 5/5 — Perfect Companion for Travelling with an August T405

*2024-08-02, version 1.1.0*

This app is invaluable to me and always works perfectly with my August T405 Wireless TV Transmitter alongside my very trusty and much loved iPad 10th Generation. I mostly use it when staying in low cost Airbnb rooms (for my day job) and as it receives the TV signal from the nearest transmitting mast, with several located throughout the United Kingdom it in turn saves on my monthly data allowance. Picture has been mostly clear using the supplied antennas and the app is very easy to use. In my opinion no app updates are needed at this current moment in time. The app interface may well seem a little outdated in comparison to some of the complex and feature rich streaming apps that are available to download today but it certainly does do what it says on the tin.

### 1/5 — App needs an overhaul

*2024-04-25, version 1.1.0*

This app has not been updated for many years. Please update this app.

### 5/5 — ios13.3 🆗👍

*2020-01-28*

Works on ios13.3 if you turn Location Services ON after connecting to august tv wifi device. Then you can turn off location services and it will work until app is terminated. Then repeat proccess, so amust be a software bug. Also Airplane Mode ON saves a bit more battery.

### 5/5 — Works perfect

*2019-02-26, version 1.0.2*

Works perfect with the t405 now I can watch tv anywhere!
