Casting tab

Where the heck did the casting tab go?! I used to be able to cast from my iPad to my TV using the cast tab, but after the app update, I can’t anymore because they removed it! Bring it back! WTH

Not Dish “Anywhere” Anymore

This should now be called “DISH anywhere where you can get an Internet connection”. Unfortunately, they removed the feature that allows you to download content onto your device so that you can watch your recordings later in areas without Internet connection. That was one of the biggest features I used on this app. With this ability gone, they are cheating customers out of being able to watch their content and countless places that don’t happen to have an Internet connection. I guess just one more reason why so many are cutting the chord nowadays because what’s the use of paying the premium that we do and still not getting simple features like off-line viewing.

New Update is HORRIBLE

As the title says, the new update is genuinely awful. Completely changed the UI and removed useful features - can no longer filter by category, for example, Sports. You used to be able to find all channels that are showing a certain category at the current time. Bring this back. Why even remove it in the first place?

Overall performance and speed absolutely tanked. Insanely slow now. It’s even worse if youre using the app on a smart TV. Takes 5-10 seconds for the app to respond to anything you do with the remote.

App used to be so great on mobile and TV, now it’s terrible and frustrating.

Not sure who approved these changes and decided to ship this update but they should probably be fired.

Revert this back to the way it was earlier this year.

Casting problems

App casting no longer. Used to work very well with casting button at the top. Click on on it, select your device and easy connect. Now, no button. Very disappointing.

Great service

Incredibly convenient when traveling.

Dish anywhere

This app was good until they did the update. Now it just bad. too many issues and just doesn’t work more times than not.

App harder to navigate

I love having the dish anywhere app when we’re traveling but the app is much harder to navigate. Can’t find what exactly I’ve taped or watched as all episodes come up. Much harder to delete things.

Works as well as you’d expect from Dish

Sooo, the option to use the app as a remote is gone. Again. This app is clearly an after thought, and they are investing as little as possible in development and testing. If I wasn’t rural I’d be done with these weasels.

Streaming recorded shows is poor

If you're looking to watch a show you've recorded and are ok watching all the commercials then it's great, BUT if you'd like to skip the commercials...good luck. Whenever I select the 30 seconds forward, it stalls or goes back to where I left off. Also, if I try to continue watching a show that I started at home it starts from the beginning & then I have the issue mentioned above. Extremely frustrating.

Terrible

A lobotomy will be more pleasurable than using this app

App doesn’t work

I can get every other app to work but this app constantly gives me the spinning circle. Horrible even with 5G.

Please REVERT

Can no longer record a game/program. Can no longer easily see IF a game/program was set to record. Can’t review a show without the app jumping into play. It’s a nightmare. My husband and I HATE this “upgrade.”

Deb

Love this app, best app out there!

Dish App review

This service allows me to record shows/events/games that are important to me while I’m away from home as well as to watch from my mobile devices. I’m very appreciative

Buffering issues.

The app is great except for the most important thing….the lag/buggering. I know it’s the all because I’ll switch from watching a football game on the Dish app and the. Switch to the espn app and put on the same exact game and it runs much smoother. Awesome having access to all the channels through an app that we pay $400/month to use 6 channels, but it could be greatly improved….

Recording

Love that I can record programs from my phone to my home!!

Working better! Thanks

Updated, working better! Thanks

DISH ANYWHERE.

Very nice and convenient. Easy to use.

Horrible Update

Dish Anywhere was fairly good before the latest update. All the hoopla about the all new DA app was slick marketing bs. The new app is virtually useless to me now. Worst update ever.
