It just keeps on putting me to behind the scenes for the series. The episode is already out fully. ### 1/5 — Worst service *2026-08-24, version 5.0.132* Constant buffering; horrible UI to navigate channels; changing very soon. ### 1/5 — Absolute Garbage, you’ve been warned *2026-08-22, version 5.0.132* Garbage app, garbage website. Then they intentionally make it as difficult as possible to cancel. Complete joke of a company. ### 1/5 — Broken *2026-08-22, version 5.0.132* “We ran into an issue”. They always run into an issue. ### 1/5 — Stupid *2026-08-21, version 5.0.132* Why is it 18+ ### 1/5 — My plan *2026-08-20, version 5.0.132* They don’t tell you the sports package is not the one for the nfl games you have to pay for the good games ### 1/5 — DIRECTV app doesn’t load content *2026-08-20, version 5.0.132* App doesn’t load content. Everything is blank. DIRECTV has the worst customer service in the world. I don’t understand why a company this size can’t make watching and scheduling recording seamless. Wasted two hours and still nothing. LAME! ### 1/5 — Captioning *2026-08-19, version 5.0.132* Why does closed captioning default to open on every TV program? Please fix this bug! You have to turn it off in settings every time you pause a show. Sheesh! ### 1/5 — Receiving Less and less $ervice$ yet paying more and more…” *2026-08-17, version 5.0.132* DIRECTV IS GETTING MORE AND MORE EXPENSIVE BY THE MONTH AND EVERY YEAR WHILE WE GET LESS SERVICE SERVICES. WHAT I MEAN IS THAT WE CANNOT STREAM LIKE WE USED TO I HAVE TO PAY MORE AND MORE. FOR SERVICES WE HAD IN THE PAST. I AM THINKING OF SERIOUSLY UNSUBSCRIBING AND I’M THROUGH WITH ALL THIS NICKEL AND DIMMING OF EVERY SERVICE. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best sports tv app *2026-08-25, version 5.0.132* For clarity in sports games and 4k some Fox sports feeds; DirecTV better than Sling. You pay more but get more. ### 5/5 — DIRECT TV 📺 *2026-08-25, version 5.0.132* So far so GOOD 😊 NP’s I LOOOOOOVE DIRECT 📺 TV ☺️😁😎 ### 5/5 — Will not connect *2026-08-24, version 5.0.132* This app is useless. It will never connect. ### 5/5 — Functions Well Compared to Similar Services *2026-08-24, version 5.0.132* Works well compared to other apps like cable apps and some streaming apps. Great guide for searching favorite channels and it allows full acces to my DVR library. Only complaint is that some local stations are not available for streaming, so it’s not a perfect option on devices without boxes. Also, the app recently started defaulting to closed captioning. Turning it off in settings is only good until the next time the app is run or woken up. ### 5/5 — Great *2026-08-24, version 5.0.132* Easy to access to find shows that you have an interest in seeing. ### 5/5 — Exacto *2026-08-23, version 5.0.132* Excelente ### 5/5 — Tv time needs *2026-08-22, version 5.0.132* Need to get tv time set correctly ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-08-21, version 5.0.132* I can use my Directv anywhere. I can assess my library, watch live TV, and record shows. Love it! ### 5/5 — Direct tv streaming *2026-08-21, version 5.0.132* I love the quality and speed of streaming- so great!! ### 5/5 — Gr *2026-08-21, version 5.0.132* 😊 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
