### 1/5 — Dead app

*2026-02-21, version 2.9*

Dead app, website abandoned, dev completely moved onto other projects

### 2/5 — eh…

*2025-03-21, version 2.9*

App is very slow and buggy on iPhone and iPad. You now need an account to use the app (and ‘Sign In With Apple’ doesn’t work at all). And, now, I’ve not been able to play a single video on my Apple TV.

### 5/5 — 💎 a very-hidden gem

*2023-05-14, version 2.9*

I downloaded this a couple years ago, and I'm just checking out now. 
It really does what it says it does, I love it  :-)

### 1/5 — Was my favorite app, not anymore.

*2022-02-15, version 2.8*

Was easy to use before when u can just open the app and start playing videos. Now u need an account (that doesn't bother me) but if you wanted to exit the app only way is force exit, back button wont work as it will keep bringing you to the login screen and if your using a smart remote,(i.e samsung smart tv remote) good luck trying to force exit.

### 1/5 — Update 2.8 broke everything!

*2021-11-14, version 2.8*

Was working fine until I just updated. Now, no videos will play! This the app is useless! Also, hate the new layout. What happened to the “Mix” category? It no longer is there.

### 1/5 — Apple TV App Navigation Broken

*2021-09-29, version 2.7.4*

How are we supposed to navigate back to the channel selection?

There doesn’t seem to be a way besides force-quitting.

### 3/5 — Used to love it- now it doesn’t work

*2021-07-22, version 2.7.3*

For years I’ve adored this app. Great content and easy fast clips. The app was easy to use and my go to for a long time.

Now there’s nothing but issues. I hardly open it anymore just knowing when I do It’s going to freeze up or not play at all. It cycles through a ton of videos without playing them- and sometimes it’ll play audio from a different video. Or it’ll just stop working and I’ll have to again and again grab the remote and forward through. Stupid.

Tried uninstalling and reinstalling so many times. No luck. I also have friends who have had the same issues. What is going on??

### 5/5 — My favorite app for surfing Apple TV

*2020-11-15, version 2.7*

I Highly recommend rheo! I am constantly introduced to new content and interests. The videos really are impressively curated. AND No commercials. Some glitches appeared months ago on the Apple TV.  I contacted the developers and they fixed the bugs promptly, thank you!

### 3/5 — Almost...

*2020-11-02, version 2.6.1*

The idea of the app is brilliant but I feel they’re letting a great thing slip away. I’ve been using Rheo for about 3 years now and Lately it’s been unwatchable and crashes 3 seconds into watching anything. Sometimes it doesn’t crash, when that doesn’t happen, I’m stuck with the same news stories from America repeating over and over (with only 5-6 of them being different from each other). Including world news and centrist news would be ideal rather than just liberal news media outlets like Newsey. 

Pls fix the app

### 1/5 — Rheo developers don’t know life beyond their biased opinion

*2020-08-30, version 2.6.1*

Almost all media companies are leftist, and this is no different. Within seconds of choosing “funny” setting, I am assaulted with what the left calls “comedy”. Continuous stream of Colbert, Noah, and an army of deep state cronies. No thanks.
