### 1/5 — Fine Ash Cigars

*2022-09-29, version 2.2.002*

Horrible business tool and the only option we have is this worthless app. We pay thousands of dollars a month for a business account and you can’t provide us with app that work so we don’t have to walk around to 12 tvs and change the channel.
We can’t wait till another company is able to provide the NFL ticket for businesses so we can switch

### 1/5 — Horrible app dont get directv

*2022-08-04, version 2.2.002*

If youre considering getting directv to manage your recievers... dont... this app is garbage and there is no tech support for it... best they will do for you is send someone to your shop in 3 or 4 days to help or you can try to figure it out on your own... its complete trash

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2022-04-26, version 2.2.002*

Have to constantly logout and log back in. It doesn’t read all of the receivers all of the time. Crashes all the time.

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2021-09-15, version 2.1.003*

Never works , crashes and then delete can log in …. So so bad

### 1/5 — Trash

*2021-08-14, version 1.6.002*

Worst app ever. Works 10% of the time.

### 1/5 — Thanks for nothing

*2018-08-15, version 1.0.3*

This might be the worst app I’ve ever had. You change from a perfectly good one with all the bugs fixed and give us this one that has all, the same problems the other one had before you made us use this one.
And as if this app wasn’t horrible already in the last week it has crashed 5 times!! And it did it twice today. Ever since this company was merged with AT&T it is like they don’t even care about customers or customer service

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2018-05-09, version 1.0.1*

They shut down the old app for businesses and I keep getting an unknown error on this app when I try to log in

### 1/5 — App Issues

*2026-03-29, version 2.6.002*

App crashes a lot. We have to reset the app a lot. When we call in about the issues they say we can come out for a fee, instead of developers fixing the glitches so it works properly. It’s really sad all the businesses pay for service & this rarely works.

### 1/5 — App Crashes /Non Functional A lot

*2025-12-08*

This app crashes a lot and is very nonfunctional part of business accts for directv. Kind of a hassle to use most days w/ glitches & issues frequently

### 1/5 — Trash App

*2025-11-18, version 2.6.001*

For the amount that business pay, you guys should be ashamed to even offer this service.

### 1/5 — No Womens Sports???

*2025-03-28, version 2.4.009*

Why does the app not display any womens sports on the “Sports” tab??? Cant select Womens NCAA or WNBA under the “Edit Sports” button and they also dont even show up on the “Today” “Upcoming” or “Completed” tabs…its 2025…do better!!!!!

### 1/5 — Down during marchmadness

*2025-03-19, version 2.4.009*

Please help

### 1/5 — Remote doesn’t work

*2025-03-19, version 2.4.009*

Works half the time

### 1/5 — Big fail

*2025-03-08, version 2.4.009*

This app doesn’t work. No guides load. TVs aren’t connected. Great idea. Horrible execution.

### 1/5 — App gets worse and worse

*2025-02-19, version 2.4.009*

Good lord, does anyone even maintain this app anymore? It’s so buggy, it always “forgets” log ins, and IP addresses. Can you guys actually try to get this app right?

### 1/5 — Disastrous App!

*2024-03-10, version 2.3.001*

I curse DirecTV every single day over this garbage control app.  Our business is looking elsewhere for Program Providers.  Anything is better than not being able to control your own televisions.  Our customers hear everyday how they should avoid DirecTV at all costs.  What a waste of time and money!

### 1/5 — For the love of god fix your app!!!!!!!!

*2024-02-17, version 2.3.001*

This app has been awful since it’s inception. Your company obviously doesn’t care about the costomers because you never ever ever update and fix this app!!!!!

### 4/5 — Latest update serious problems

*2024-03-25, version 2.4.001*

The business remote was awesome till the last update and the timing of the issues couldn’t be worse with march madness in full swing. HELP!

### 2/5 — Channel Guide not loading.

*2025-02-12, version 2.4.009*

Channel guide never load up, and every day we look for an update to fix the issue.

### 2/5 — It's been stripped down until its pointless.

*2019-04-25, version 1.4.001*

The app is a remote control for DirecTV receivers. Its a stripped down version of the consumer app that allows set top boxes to be grouped for control. Unfortunately the remote control has been stripped down from the control in the consumer app by removing the DVR comtrols in the top segment that has backup play pause fwd rev and skip. The control is only useful for live TV. 

   Here's a hot tip - Businesses want to time shift live international events like EuroVision and FIFA football matches to suit North American schedules just like consumers. 

   Not sure why someone went to the trouble of intentionally making the app so limited, but that's the fact. Yeah, I get it that it's original software spec said "lets bartender tune groups of TVs to same channel" and some newly minted software engineers were taught that extra features means extra bugs. Didn't anyone teach them that customizing borrowed code features in a one-off app forks the code base, raises maintainence cost, and introduces bugs? 

This app also strips out the app's content search capability and ability to stream content to the iPad.
