DELETE! ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2017-10-11, version 1.5.4* Apple iPad and iPhone 6 on same network as humax 1100s but won't recognise both on the same network. Pointless app. Please sort this out humax! ### 1/5 — What's happened to HUMAX *2017-08-05, version 1.5.4* This app does not work at all. Will not recognize my box despite following all instructions. I also have the TV guide app which is no longer in the App Store, maybe as that is useless too. I bought HUMAX after every review AND John Lewis said it was the best. Already had one new remote and now that is failing. Something has gone badly wrong with this company. ### 1/5 — Fix it *2017-05-18, version 1.5.4* The app doesn't work anymore ☹️ ### 1/5 — Barely works at all. *2017-05-17, version 1.5.4* This app has great potential but will only skip to the end or beginning when you press fast forward or rewind. The only way to watch shows is hit play and wait 5 mins sometimes to get to the show. You have the ability to pause but if the iPad goes to sleep you have to start from the beginning again. VERY POOR EFFORT HUMAX. Great ideas and presentation but very cheap effort.... ### 1/5 — Nicht zu gebrauchen... *2017-04-18, version 1.5.4* Funktioniert nicht... ### 1/5 — Doesn't send to Humax devices *2016-09-20, version 1.5.4* Since latest upgrade, no longer plays/sends videos to Humax 4Tune. Please fix asap. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2016-08-27, version 1.5.4* No features - it might play, with some serious buffering since its trying to send a massive file over wifi to your device, but you can't even fast forward. Don't buy humax because of these apps. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2016-06-25, version 1.5.4* Won't load schedule and won't find my humax so useless ### 1/5 — DOES NOT WORK!!!!!! *2016-06-06, version 1.5.1* Human, please sort this app out so that it works. It is so frustrating! I would have rated zero stars if possible. ### 1/5 — Geht nicht *2016-05-29, version 1.5.1* Startet gar nicht erst ### 1/5 — Crashes on opening *2016-05-26, version 1.5.1* So can't leave a real review as never seen it work.... ### 1/5 — The app does not work *2016-05-26, version 1.5.1* Why the lack of attention ### 1/5 — Don't work *2016-05-25, version 1.5.1* It doesn't work iPhone or iPad ### 1/5 — Too Generous? *2016-05-23, version 1.5.1* I figure one star is way too generous, given that the app simply does not work. Brand new Humax recorder but the associated apps fail to even run. Judging by the number of similar reviews, it appears that Humax don't really care. Cannot understand why this isn't a priority for fixing. This is a brand-damaging failure. ### 1/5 — Just quits out *2016-05-22, version 1.5.1* Doesn't work in my iPad mini - I have the latest OS too. It just quits out but doesn't even shut down - opening screen is still running in the background. Please fix! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht *2023-12-09, version 1.5.5* Stellt keine Verbindung her, trotz des selben Netzwerkes ### 1/5 — No data found *2020-10-24, version 1.5.5* Thinks there’s no data on my phone, so I can’t cast to the device. Pointless. ### 1/5 — Unbrauchbarer Schrott *2020-06-30, version 1.5.5* Nur Löschen hilft weiter! ### 1/5 — Utter Rubbish *2020-05-10, version 1.5.5* Completely useless ### 1/5 — Won’t play *2019-06-22, version 1.5.5* Unable to play any recordings downloaded to iPhone Play option is greyed out or not there. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2019-05-10, version 1.5.5* Never worked ### 1/5 — Come on Humax! *2018-11-12, version 1.5.5* Humax used to be great but their products have gone downhill big time. Our FPV-4000T has been a massive disappointment, mainly because it's so slow. This app doesn't work at all! The alleged streaming feature is completely absent. Downloading is the only option which takes ages and then won't play anyway. Complete waste of time. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t see FreeSat box *2018-07-06, version 1.5.4* My iPad and FreeSat box are on the same network but this app won’t detect it - please avoid this bad software. ### 1/5 — Possibly the worst app I have encountered *2018-03-19, version 1.5.4* It recognised my FVP 4000 but not my HDR 2000. It would not stream from the FVP but instead tried to download the file and failed. Then it could not see the FVP at all. Humax should be ashamed to release such rubbish. ### 1/5 — Download statt Stream, was soll das? *2018-01-25, version 1.5.4* Aufnahmen werden zwar auf dem Humax-Server gefunden, es werden dann aber nur die Optionen „Senden an“ und „Download“ angeboten. App gleich wieder gelöscht. ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Kidly look into my below request 👍🏽 *2016-06-10, version 1.5.4* Many thanks for updating the software, but when I start using the app ether it not working properly to connect to humax product or it shows that I don't have anything in my iPhone like music, photo etc....!! ### 4/5 — Works Quite Well. *2020-04-09, version 1.5.5* I like the fact I can watch my recordings on my iPad while my wife watches the tv, seems to work quite well. ### 4/5 — Works for me *2017-05-21, version 1.5.4* Actually this is the only Humax app that works! Sees my Synology DiskStation with no problems at all. ### 4/5 — More control *2016-12-30, version 1.5.4* Would like to have fast forward so I don't have to watch the ads in the recorded shows ### 4/5 — Happy with it *2015-01-20, version 1.5.1* I have a Foxsat HDR and a Fox T2 HDR running the appropriate (unofficial) custom media bundles firmware available on the Internet. The media player app works perfectly on the Fox T2 (after I figured out what the PC Directory was all about). I can't stream video from the Foxsat but I can listen to mp3 files and access the photos. The video content is greyed out; possibly with a bit more work I might get it going, but given that it's not supposed to work on these two Humax devices, I really can't complain. ### 4/5 — Funktioniert *2014-08-03, version 1.5.1* Verbidung zum Humax und meinem Media Server klappten auf anhieb. Auch Medien vom IPhone/Ipad an den Humax senden klappt einwandfrei. ### 4/5 — Funktioniert *2014-01-10, version 1.0.2* Erstaunlich, dass diese App mit meinem Evo funktioniert, der mit einem LAN-Kabel an den Router angebunden ist und mit IPad Air über WLAN abgefragt wird. So kann man auf Fotos, Musik oder Aufnahmen zugreifen. Mir fehlt die Timeline, um in den Aufnahmen vor- und zurückspulen zu können. Wieso funktioniert das bei der Humax Remote App mit gleicher Konfiguration nicht? Bitte schnell nacharbeiten! ### 3/5 — Love the app but no sound playing back recordings *2014-10-01, version 1.5.1* When I select any of my recordings they play back but no sound. Maybe an ios8 issue?? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
