### 2/5 — Buggy, but great concept

*2026-06-20*

Some TV channels’ audio is broken, plays silently even when unmuted. PiP video does not work, only black feed with sometimes working audio. While it does not do PiP, these issues do not happen on the official HDHomeRun app.

Can only add a max of 1 favorite TV channel, and adding it scrambles the TV guide. Adding a second favorite removes the other favorite.

### 1/5 — Full iOS 18/26 compatibility

*2026-06-08*

The app only works on iOS 26.2 and up the app should be usable for all modern OS to truly appeal to the masses for maximum compatibility. The dev needs to make it so that everyone can use it as long as their bare minimum on iOS 26.0, preferably iOS 18 but 26.0 is a minimum req not 26.2 as not everyone is willing to upgrade for glitches and bugs that apple may have in their flawed software from time to time. Please address and fix this as it should be a give in why.

### 3/5 — Wish it worked without having to host a server

*2026-05-28*

Probably would be an amazing app but you need a Mac to do anything

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-05-20*

I haven’t completely set it up yet, but I’m excited to use it for backpacking in the back country
