You call this an app?

An update after two years, and they somehow managed to make it worse, now I can’t even set it up. After the update, the mandatory streaming set up appears and instantly “set up problem, set up the not complete successfully. Please try again.” This is on multiple iOS devices, so my Mcard life with Verizon is over in a few days anyway, so this is a fitting death.

What happened to TIVO?

I tried to use app and it went to some new login that wanted to send me a temporary password, WHY? I have been a customer for 30 years and e-mail has never changed, so why is it saying my email is incorrect?? Gosh how I miss the old TiVo THAT WORKED!!!

Time To Die

Terrible App, horribly neglected. It’s time to just kill it off.

Schedule recordings remotely

My main need is scheduling games to record when I’m not at home to watch later, and this app does it well.

Streaming doesn’t work

Can’t go through the streaming in home setup. Worked for past 10 years.

Horrible, horrible horrible

One of the worst apps I’ve seen. Doesn’t work half the time, constantly logged me out, does not have the correct guide, does not record shows that I program on it. Useless!!

Used to work

This “free” app used to work, but the TiVo Premiere is out of support. Is paid support required to use it?

Can we get TiVo back at the cable company again?

Can we get TiVo back at the cable company again?

Great product

Exceptional TV viewing minus commercials. You have to learn how to use it and set your recordings, blah blah blah, after that you will love it!
The price of Lifetime service to save 16 minutes for every hour long episode, so you can watch more of what you want to watch without commercials. My time is priceless! How much is your time worth?

Doesn’t work, fail streaming setup.

Works OK on Safari in the browser UI but that is clunky, loses its place and you can’t download a show from there (going on an airplane!).
But this app was promising until you actually try to play anything, always fails on streaming setup. But hey, I can “try again”!

Stuck on loading screen

It would be nice to login with Face ID , Doesn’t let one puts password without reset. It like a loop. Please fix this.

App still broken.

What is going n with the app? Weird, thin screen that appears to want me to change my password after I just logged in?

Fix this!!!!

App is broken

The Tivo app used to be a very handy way to control Tivo units, but it now won’t even allow me to log in. Tivo has gone downhill so far. I’m done with it. The hardware is overpriced junk, the software on the Tivo itself is outdated and many cable companies no longer support the cable cards needed to access cable TV. Time to move on.

They’re slipping

Can’t use the app anymore. First says my email not valid. When I retype it get weird long illegible screen 3 characters wide.

Also the fast forward band is too wide and blocks the sports score bug. It used to disappear after a few seconds. Now it never does

I used to love TiVo. Now I probably won’t get another one. It seems like they don’t care about their product any more, so why should I.

Fix the app TiVo!

Come on already, it’s been like a month now. Useless…

Terrible - App has been broken for months

It’s impossible to sign in now, as many others have reported. The app works fine on my iPad but not iPhone. Is no one at TiVo paying attention??

Cannot sign in

I cannot sign in because it says there were no email

Does not work

This app stopped working months ago
Very aggravating

iPhone version works but NOT the iPad version

I can logon using the iPhone version and stream my shows. But using the exact same credentials on the iPad version always seems to fail! It always takes me back after trying to the reset password screen or something like that because the screen seems all screwed up.

TiVo app not working but TiVo Premiere works fine

My TiVo Premiere works fine but for the last few months I can no longer connect to the TiVo app ever since they forced us to change our password. I really miss using the app! I’ve contacted my cable company and they show my Tivo machines on my account but the Tivo says that I don’t have authorized boxes. Weird! Wish I could get it fixed. No problems here with my connectivity or internet either.
