Works for one day and after that it dies and u have to set it up again. Annoying! ### 1/5 — Plus de mise à jour depuis 1 ans ?!? *2019-06-04, version 10.43* Plus de mise à jour depuis 1 ans ?!? Pas de code pour la box SFR ### 3/5 — Oui mais *2018-06-02, version 10.43* Dommage que la prise en charge de l’iPhone X ne soit pas d’actualité... ### 2/5 — Kein epg *2017-09-08, version 10.43* Ich kauf mir den Smart zapper der auch funktioniert, auf der Packung wird epg angepriesen und jetzt ist diese Funktion deaktiviert. Sehr schwach wie ich finde. Hoffe es wird wieder nachgebessert. ### 3/5 — Warum wurde EPG entfernt?!!!!!! *2017-08-18, version 1.4* Die App auf Iphone und Ipad ist mit dem URC8800 die beste Bedienkombi. Speziell das EPG (nutze KabelTV) war super. Man sah alle Kanäle mit Übersicht und Textinhalt. Ein Tastendruck und der Kanal wurde aufgerufen.... tolle Sache, jeden Tag genutzt. BITTE WIEDER AKTIVIEREN und ggfs. dem USER IM SETUP DIE DEAKTIVIERUNG ueberlassen. Danke!! ### 3/5 — Roku issues. *2017-06-24, version 1.4* Whenever I go to setup a Roku, the app crashes and I have to physically reset the device. ### 1/5 — Still not working in Australia!!!!!! *2017-06-18, version 1.4* Seriously guys, even after a year since the last review on the same issue and you haven't fixed this in new releases! What is the point in us buying the Nevo! ### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht *2017-01-14, version 1.4* Keine deutsche Version vorhanden. Stürzt beim einrichten ab. Bekannte Firmen im deutschen Haushalt fehlen. ### 2/5 — À revoir *2016-05-27, version 1.4* Fonctionne quand ça veut bien très agaçant ## Frequently asked questions about Nevo Smart Phone ### What does the Nevo Smart Phone app do?
