Unreliable
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.

They broke it again!
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

Buggy
It shows the guide and firmware but you can't watch tv at all.
Bad update for Ipad
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.
Trash
Don’t waste your money.
Not a Ipad app.
Not a IPad application. It’s a phone with horrible image crop to fit the IPad. Legacy app work fine.
Playback failed: cannot decode
Can’t watch most channels on my iPhone.
Buggy
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
Landscape orientation
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.
iPad compatibility
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.
This this is awesome
This is the closest thing to TiVo I that is out there. With one big exception— it is free now with NO subscription! Now I only need 1 antennae which can now be placed in the optimum position regardless of all my TVs’ locations. I can even watch tv on my iPad!
The menus are intuitive and super user friendly. Setup was super easy. Best $100 I have ever spent.

2.2.0
Horrible update. This update disabled the app on my Apple TV due to audio issues. I have to disable my speaker system that previously worked fine with Tablo.
It also broke the app on my iPad. Putting the video to full screen now fills only ⅔ of the screen leaving a black L shaped box around what video I do have.

Last update SUCKS!
The latest update prevents watch any of my programs in horizontal viewing on my Ipad. I don’t want to watch in vertical mode I want to view my programs on my Ipad just like I would on my TV. The guide doesn’t update automatically and half the time doesn’t work manually either. Another example of a terrible software update.

Portrait View
Latest update is only in portrait mode. Please fix.
Used to be good. Now horrible
Was good in the beginning. Can’t watch anything anymore. Go on a channel and it immediately freezes. Every other app works fine. But not Tablo. Trash now
Can’t watch on iPad in horizon position
Before last update I could use the app in the horizon position on my iPad now the menus only can be viewed correctly in the vertical positions. Please fix.
Update
Latest update only allows portrait view for schedule and it is tiny on the iPad why ?
Great concept, embarrassing execution
The iPad version makes you watch it on a tiny screen, a joke. App cuts out no matter the internet signal strength. First device crashed in the middle of a game and had to return.

Gets worse with every software release
I wanted to love Tablo and the antennas are great. But with every upgrade it gets more unusable. It seems like their business model didn’t count on the level of development needed to make the platform top notch.
