The TV programme schedule is often just plain wrong. If you relied upon this to set your recordings you'd come home to nothing. And this fits well with the problems surrounding Humax's latest set top boxes. They are slow, clunky and often just plain FAIL. They lose the internet connection and catch up TV. You have to reset them regularly to get all the features back. The remote feels cheap and tacky. This company used to be good. Now they're abysmal. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2019-10-14, version 1.0.16* It seemed like a good idea as I have lost my remote. However it will not connect to my Humax Foxsat so it really is a waste of space. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2019-09-28, version 1.0.16* Says both phone and Humax should be on same network. They are. But constantly says not found and asks if I want to try a trial version ### 2/5 — Sort of works *2019-09-19, version 1.0.16* All buttons work but options to turn it on or off ### 2/5 — OK when it works *2019-09-07, version 1.0.16* Only one thing to say. It drives me nuts because it hardly ever detects our Humax 4000 box. ### 1/5 — Remote app *2019-08-25, version 1.0.16* Remote will not work on new iOS 12. app ### 1/5 — Total rubbish *2019-08-14, version 1.0.16* Doesn’t connect to two of my three humax devices even tho it finds them and lists them. The other one works intermittently with it. It also causes one of the boxes that it won’t work with to crash. Avoid this at all costs. ### 1/5 — Hang you heads in shame *2019-07-12, version 1.0.16* This is atrocious. Just complains it can't connect. Yet the freesat app works first time and includes a remote control that work flawlessly. How on earth can a third party app work so perfectly when their own app just won't even connect! Someone somewhere at humax is responsible for this garbage and they should be ashamed. ### 1/5 — Almost not worth the effort *2019-06-27, version 1.0.16* This app is dreadful, like most things Humax these days. It will work for a few days and then loses connection. The only way to reconnect is to turn off the recorder, and then reboot it- not easy when there is no on/off switch! If I could give it no stars then I would, RUBBISH!! ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2019-06-03, version 1.0.16* Does not work on human 3000T. ### 1/5 — Grotten schlecht! *2019-04-02, version 1.0.16* Ich habe immer viel von Humax gehalten , die Geräte haben immer super funktioniert ob bei Premiere oder SKY und deshalb habe ich mir den 4K Receiver geholt . Aber ich bin zutiefst Enttäuscht, Die angeboten TV Apps sind ein Witz, das schaut nicht mal mein Großvater. Medienserver brach ständig ab oder erkannte nicht die Video Formate. Und jetzt die Krönung diese nicht funktionierenden HUMAX APPs! Das wars , nie wieder HUMAX, schämt Euch ! PS : Bild des Receivers gut und Aufnahme von vom TV funktioniert, macht aber einer vom Baumarkt für 29,95€ auch! ### 1/5 — Keine Funktion, Receiver wird nicht erkannt! *2018-11-18, version 1.0.16* Unbrauchbar! ### 1/5 — Awful, just like their hardware, stay away from them. *2018-11-11, version 1.0.16* Careless awful app written by amateur developers and untested. Thing is, when I bought my Humax box, it was fine, as was their software. What happened? A couple of firmware updates and bingo, it’s all bucked. ### 1/5 — Doesnt connect to network! *2018-10-26, version 1.0.16* This app persistently says that the phone and Humax must be on the same network and cannot connect. Obviously they both are on the same network so I have deleted the app! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not connecting to STB *2023-05-28, version 1.0.16* This app used to work fine with FVP-4000T. It now will not connect to the Freeview player. Previously 5* ### 1/5 — Dreadful *2023-05-11, version 1.0.16* Just doesn't work - cannot connect on same network- complete waste of time. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2022-02-19, version 1.0.16* Never managed to get this to work. App says it can find the device even though they’re connected to the same LAN. Poor. ### 1/5 — Only works on old IOS version *2021-01-02, version 1.0.16* Tested with multiple devices. iPhone X, 7. And finally, it works on my iPad 3 with IIS version 9.3.5. Please update your software. As features are advertised in your homepage, you are liable under Australia law. ### 1/5 — Geht garnicht mehr *2020-11-16, version 1.0.16* Die App funktioniert mittlerweile garnicht mehr. Support von Humax ist echt mies! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2020-11-14, version 1.0.16* I have had this recorder for some years now and used to use my phone as the remote. It does not work anymore and hasn’t for some time. Why not ? ### 1/5 — Badly coded app *2020-10-15, version 1.0.16* Connects to my box fine then app closes itself and refuses to connect. Says the phone needs to be on the same network It’s a shame because when it does work it’s great but most of the time it doesn’t. I will not be buying a Humax product again. ### 1/5 — Non funziona *2020-10-11, version 1.0.16* Non si connette alla rete nonostante sia il decoder che l’iPad sono connessi alla stessa rete la connessione dall’app è possibile solo in modo automatico. Noto che il problema persiste da anni per cui consiglio di risolvere il problema o di toglierla dall’ Apple store. ### 1/5 — It need WIFI *2020-09-19, version 1.0.16* i think there is better way rather than wifi ### 1/5 — Not working *2020-07-11, version 1.0.16* Wish you could give nil star. What is wrong with this company? This app is a waste of d SF pace. As for Humax in general. They have lost the plot. Unable to update apps on system, slow channel change and unit over heating. A catastrophe of a product. Stay away ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — No problem *2021-06-23, version 1.0.16* Works perfectly for me ### 5/5 — Works great *2020-07-21, version 1.0.16* Use it in preference to the supplied remote. ### 5/5 — Happy Old FVP-4000T User *2019-08-19, version 1.0.16* Having problems with some of the buttons on my old FVP-4000T remote and found out about this app. Downloaded and worked immediately - even though the app says it only controls iCord HMS 1000S and 1000T - Happy! Make sure it is on the same WiFi network as the iPhone - I run multiple networks at home. ### 5/5 — FVP-5000T working well *2017-10-19, version 1.0.15* So far it seems to work fine with a brand new FVP-5000T. The app provides basic remote functionality. ### 5/5 — Thx *2017-05-11, version 1.0.13* Good app ### 5/5 — 2000T *2016-10-18, version 1.0.13* Works fine with the 2000t. Quite useful really. ### 5/5 — Tut was es tuen soll *2016-10-09, version 1.0.13* Alle Funktionen gehen, kann damit mein Receiver steuern und das ohne große Verzögerungen. ### 5/5 — Super Fernbedienung *2016-08-01, version 1.0.13* Die App funktioniert einwandfrei, die Befehle werden ohne Verzögerung ausgeführt. Sehr hilfreich ist die Tastatur. ### 5/5 — Funktioniert mit icord mini *2015-02-13, version 1.0.13* Installiert und läuft. Ersetzt die Fernbedienung. Nicht mehr, nicht weniger. ### 4/5 — Works Well with my FVP-500T *2020-04-09, version 1.0.16* Recently purchased a FVP-500T and this remote app works quite well, had no issues, handy if the wife has the official remote. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
