### 1/5 — Völliger Fehlkauf

*2024-09-27*

Lässt sich zwar physisch anschließen, aber die App bleibt schon beim ersten Schritt „Bitte den Adapter ins Dock anschließen“ hängen und lässt sich nicht weiter bedienen….

### 1/5 — Still it’s not working with iOS 11

*2021-06-26*

Why keep updating when it still is not working with iOS 11.

### 1/5 — And yet again… it doesn’t work.

*2021-05-15*

After years when the EyeTV Mobile didn’t work, the app was update and it started working again. Now it’s been updated again (a few times) and it’s back to not working. Just completely disappointing.

### 1/5 — Verbrecherisches Geschäftsgebaren...

*2021-05-02*

... Die „annullieren“ (Originalzitat des Setups) Dir die seit Jahren rechtmässig erworbene Software auf dem Mac und fordern Dich auf, diese nochmal zu bezahlen.

### 1/5 — Nothing but a SCAM

*2021-04-28*

The hardware to turn iOS devices into TV’s is still for sale.
It’s only after installing the app you find you’re stuck with a £80 piece of plastic that may as well be empty.
If you can’t offer software to support the device the - STOP SELLING THE HARDWARE.

### 4/5 — The recent update fixed it!

*2021-01-23*

I plugged in the dongle since I noticed the latest update to the app. Instantly a firmware update was installed onto the dongle and instantly I could start scanning for channels! 

I run iPhone 12 Pro with iOS 14.3.

Even though the included antennas can be a bit sketchy when it comes to tv reception, the app works and with a bit of patience, watching tv is now finally possible again.

Thanks for the fix!

### 1/5 — Funktioniert trotz Update nicht

*2021-01-19*

Trotz Update der Software wird mein Elgato nicht erkannt.
iOS 12.4.9 auf IPad mini.
Auch auf aktuellem IPhone wird es nicht erkannt.

### 1/5 — Läuft immer noch nicht!!!!!!!

*2021-01-18*

Sollte doch nach dem Update alles reibungslos laufen oder?
Adapter wird nicht erkannt nicht auf dem iPhone XS nicht auf dem iPad Air

### 1/5 — Still not updated

*2020-09-21*

Still not working on current system. Seems left behind at 10!!

### 1/5 — Don’t work at All

*2020-08-12, version 2.0.4*

Don’t work waste of money.
