### 1/5 — Unreliable

*2026-08-17, version 2.2.0*

An Apple update in April 2026 killed audio for Tablo app for Apple devices.  Numerous emails with Tablo support resulted in their blaming Apple.  Tablo advised that a “workaround” would help, but the workaround was unsuccessful.  Eventually the communications ended with Tablo’s declaring that they knew about the problem, and that they had no plan to fix their software.  After three months they finally fixed it.  Despite the recent fix, the app continues to crash many times every day.  Also, its cache must be manually cleared periodically.  For AppleTV, the only way to do that is to delete the app and then reinstall.  Scripps should be ashamed.

### 1/5 — They broke it again!

*2026-08-16, version 2.2.0*

Apple and/or this developer seems to be filtering bad reviews!

What is wrong with you people? This is why AI is replacing your jobs because you people I think purposely break things just so that you can fix them again in order to have a job.

Once again, I am talking about a simple little thing that you fixed before and you broke again and you fixed again and you broke again. How hard is it to keep landscape on iPad instead of portrait which is for iPhone it boggles my mind

### 2/5 — Buggy

*2026-08-13, version 2.2.0*

It shows the guide and firmware but you can't watch tv at all.

### 1/5 — Bad update for Ipad

*2026-08-12, version 2.2.0*

App now defaults to portrait view. Not good when using the Ipad. Too bad this update didnt add the function of updating settings  (Record a tv show ) remotely. That ability as been asked for , for quite some time.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-08-11, version 2.2.0*

Don’t waste your money.

### 1/5 — Not a Ipad app.

*2026-08-06, version 2.2.0*

Not a IPad application. It’s a phone with horrible image crop to fit the IPad. Legacy app work fine.

### 1/5 — Playback failed: cannot  decode

*2026-08-06, version 2.2.0*

Can’t watch most channels on my iPhone.

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2026-08-04, version 2.2.0*

On iPad the guide is stuck in portrait mode causing you to constantly rotate the pad. Channel guide lacks information on 3 of my 12 channels. Support is unresponsive

### 4/5 — Landscape orientation

*2026-08-04, version 2.2.0*

Please bring back the landscape orientation for ipad when opening app.  It used to be that way and with the latest version, it opens in portrait mode and doesn’t change to landscape until you start playing something.

### 1/5 — iPad compatibility

*2026-08-03, version 2.2.0*

This doesn’t show properly on an iPad.  Almost as if it’s an iPhone app except worse in that it doesn’t scale or fill the screen. My legacy app works fine on the iPad.
