Crashes on launch

Never opens, crashes at launch. Rip off, avoid and save your money.

Works alright....

It used to work flawlessly, but lately the picture goes away and now I’m just getting audio only...only way I’ve seen to fix it is to close the app completely. When is there going to be an update?

Used to work

This app used to be great, but since the latest iOS update, I can’t get any channel to stream. Audio comes in momentarily, and then the app force closes. Such a disappointment.

T in T

This app is absolute trash. No program guide whatsoever and you need to make a purchase to watch during content. Further, the menu button does not back you out of the app in step-wise fashion as you’d expect, it does nothing. You need to click the tv icon button on the remote but then that clears you out of the app completely. I don’t know the cost of in-app purchase as it appeared you need to complete a purchase to find out how much it cost. No, I’ll just use an iPad and AirPlay to watch live broadcast and my dvr tv content from my HDHomerun. Too bad Apple doesn’t get it together for the same app to be available for Apple TV

Love this app.

The app takes about 5-10 seconds to sync up but then runs smooth. You need to have the antenna on the same network as the display device. It does require a good LAN and a small device to flood the channels into your network. We use it everyday! My favorite option is to “listen” with an iOS device and watch of TV at the same time.
