Doesn’t work with Apple Devices

This used to work on my IPad and IPhone, but it doesn’t work now.

Does not work!

This app has never worked, period. My internet is fine. I am correctly logged into the app via my Midco account. I can see my list of recordings. I can see the my favorites guide. But it will not play anything on any of my subscribed channels. It’s been this way for more than a decade. I have deleted and downloaded the app numerous times. How many more years does Midco need to make an app that actually works?

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback! We understand when features in the app aren't working that it can be frustrating. Please consider contacting us at Midco.com/Contact, where we can look into this issue more with you. For example, one quick option would be to ensure the device you're using is connected to your WiFi and using that connection. Using a cellular network may restrict access, for example. We hope to hear from you soon for more assistance!

Misleading

I got this app thinking I would be able to watch live TV and my recordings when I’m away from home. Apparently you cannot. You have to be on your home WiFi network in order to watch anything. I thought the whole point of this app was to be able to watch when you’re not home. What’s the point of this app then? When I’m home, I’m going to watch on the TV. This app is completely useless unless you’re at home which is ridiculous. Also the app will randomly not work. When opened, the app cannot get past the initial loading screen. Midco needs to fix their app or lower their prices.

Thanks for your feedback! Our MidcoTV app does require that you're on your home network at this time. This allows you to stream your shows on devices that wouldn't normally have access, such as tablets or phones. It also allows control over things like setting up recordings, for example. We're working to bring improvements and more features to the app in the future. 😊

App doesn’t work

App will no longer playback recordings. To be honest lived all over the country and Midco is far and away the worst cable service I have ever experienced.

App is broken won’t stream at all and this is on their 2g

Why have an app that doesn’t work?

Is Midco ever going to fix this app?

This app is bad, I can connect to various streaming apps no problem, but this one is hit or miss. I have an Apple iPad and iPhone that use single sign on. Only a few of the stations that I watch have apps that recognize Midco as my provider, the rest I would have to pay to use them

Response from developer

App doesn’t work

This app hasn’t worked for months. Very frustrating when you pay for premium television and the tv doesn’t work 50% of the time and the app doesn’t work ever… what exactly am I paying for?

Runs Smoothly

Haven’t had any issues so far and I like that I can watch live TV.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for the 5-star review, Diana! We're glad you're enjoying your service. You're very much appreciated!

Doesn’t work

It works wxectly like Frontier’s TV app. Live TV doesn’t work for any station. It also won’t play any previous episodes for any station. I’m switching to YouTube TV. Not only will I be able actually watch TV, I’ll save about $3000 a year.

This app gets steadily worse.

Horrid app. Traveling and cannot access anything!

Does not even work

I have had on again and off again issues with the app. Customer service was solid to attempt to fix it but the app does not work again. Extremely disappointed.

Works poorly

Program works less than half the time to livestream tv. Call for help and get no answers to issues.

False advertising!

What is the point of a livestream app if you have to be at home to use it?! False advertising to say stream anywhere. No wonder everyone is switching to hulu or youtubetv.

Live on the go

What good is the app if I can not watch live TV while away from the house.

Doesn’t connect

I’ve tried my phone, IPad it doesn’t connect

Terrible app

Won’t work on my iPhone. Tried EVERYTHING. The app opens but when I click on a show to watch, it goes to it and then won’t load it then gives me an out of region error message. I see why it’s 1.9 rating.
