### 2/5 — Gone!!

*2021-10-05, version 2.2.0*

This used to be great but it seems to have got worse over time and now, here in Croatia, I can’t get a single channel. I’ll update this as I travel back through Europe after Xmas but really disappointed.

### 2/5 — Was mein Vorredner sagt...

*2019-10-15*

....Würde mich auch gern mal interessieren

### 3/5 — Update?

*2019-10-14*

Könnt ihr bitte in der Update Beschreinbung auch mal angeben wozu ihr dieses Update rausgebracht habt? Es gibt KEIN DVB-T mehr. 

Vielleicht könnt ihr aufklären wozu man den Eye TV W noch benutzen könnte (anderes Land?). 
Danke.

### 4/5 — Je redécouvre après plusieurs année.

*2018-10-23*

Super, voilà plusieurs années que je ne m’en servais plus et j’arrive à recapter des chaînes de la TNT, cool j’ai failli monter le boîtier au grenier mais je vais attendre encore un peu.

### 2/5 — Ne fonctionne plus

*2016-04-10*

Attention depuis la mise à jour vers la TNT hd ce décodeur ne fonctionne plus du tout !!

### 3/5 — Stürzt unter IOS 9 ab

*2015-09-21*

Bis zum Update alles super. Jetzt stürzt sie beim Aufruf der Einstellungen ab

### 2/5 — läuft nicht unter iOS9

*2015-09-20*

Schlechter Support bei Elgato, für das Geld sollte man mehr erwarten dürfen. 👎🏻

### 3/5 — Update notwendig!

*2015-09-19*

Es muss unbedingt nachgebessert werden, denn unter IOS 9 erfolgt ein Crash.

### 4/5 — Eye TV W

*2015-09-05*

Gut gemacht und ich finde es halt weitere Programme dazu, 
RTL, Pro7,RTL2. Beispielsweise

### 2/5 — Jus doesn't cut it

*2015-03-26, version 2.0.2*

It's 2015 yet the software has issues I saw over a decade ago. It tunes in all channels and creates duplicates thus not getting rid of the weaker duplicate channels. The TV guide is basic and there is no grid format in landscape. There are no links to IMDb, no way to view catch up TV programmes and there is no way to schedule recordings. In all its just basic which on an iPhone 6 plus is a loss.  I've used freeview+, interactive channels and text this app does none of this. That also with the software crashing losing channels and even the hardware losing signal on an antenna where there's no issues. Lastly given all this if the cost it was a 3rd of price it's worth it but alas it costs too much for so little functionality. I will stick with player and the other catch up software.

### 4/5 — Can't Complain Too Much

*2015-02-04, version 2.0.2*

Using bonus lead that was included and changing one end so it connected via house aerial using a duel plug, only then it gained really good reception.  Price is fair on device, doesn't chew up data.  All needed is to connect via the iPad wifi with this app.  Also use on kindle fire with free same name Amazon app, works fine.  Sit outside in the backyard while connected far down in the house and still get good reception as long as you don't move tablet around.  Both apps do the job, yep I can't complain too much.  Just need to bother figuring out setting to record shows, will get there I guess..  Thank you anyway Mr Elgato.  :-P

### 3/5 — Hangs on iphone 5

*2015-01-27, version 2.0.2*

Doesn't last mote than a minute then closes, maybe struggles with poor reception? Will try better signal and see. Could be my iphone, will try ipad later. Many good reviews on amazon so a bit strange, not many good reviews here because its the polish itunes?

### 4/5 — Bien mais

*2015-01-03*

Bien mais, il faut acheter le point d'accès à 80€ 😀😊😜.

### 1/5 — Broken features, unresponsive customer service

### 1/5 — ES GIBT KEIN DVB-T MEHR !!!!!!! 🤬

*2019-10-02*

Was soll das, das erste DVB-T WURDE ABGESCHALTET ! Es gibt nur noch DVB-T 2 in Deutschland. Das Gerät ist somit wertlos.

### 5/5 — Great little device

*2019-04-04, version 2.1.4*

I bought my eyetv w device from the apple store several years ago but after a few uses it stopped connecting via the wifi link to my phone. I sent it back to apple who replaced the unit , and this second unit has worked faultlessly with several different I phones and versions of ios over past few years.   Great app and a great little device.

### 5/5 — V Dub camper van friendly

*2017-09-14, version 2.0.5*

No problems if you use the larger plug in Ariel with the magnetic base . I found the small extendable only ok in strong signal areas.

### 5/5 — Just works

*2017-07-27, version 2.0.5*

My eye TV just works, no issues.

Just hope it continues to work with IOS 11

### 5/5 — Super mit iPadPro& iOS 10

*2016-09-17*

Funktioniert einwandfrei. Top App 👍

### 5/5 — Top

*2016-06-18*

Das Beste um Tv auf einem mobilen Gerät zu schauen. 
Besser ist das übers Internet aber nicht jeder hat 30gb Volumen so wie ich

### 5/5 — Hervorragende Leistung in allen Bereichen

*2016-02-13*

Ich kann diese App nur bestens empfehlen. EyeTV W funktioniert auch bestens im Urlaub im Ausland. Topp Konzept und Technik vom Feinsten!

### 5/5 — Nach dem Update top

*2015-09-27*

Nachdem es nach iOS 9 Probleme gab sind diese nun behoben und die App funktioniert tadellos.

### 5/5 — Great to watch on the go but...

*2014-11-27, version 2.0*

This really works great in thomastown Melbourne but needs to be connected to a strong antenna to get all channels working. All needs to be more stable in next update

### 5/5 — Empehlenswert

*2014-10-19*

Funktioniert tadellos. Gute Bedienung.

### 5/5 — Eyetv w mit Apple iPad mini

*2014-06-25*
