Rest of the app seems to work ok. Guide shows but as soon as I click on a guide item it crashes.

### 3/5 — Keeps crashing

*2017-11-30*

As soon as I open the app it crashes. Running ios 11 now. It worked on iOS 10.

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for letting me know. I am currently testing a build that works better with iOS11. I believe I have fixed your crashes as well.

### 5/5 — Great - Limited, but Works as Promised

*2016-12-06, version 1.0*

Finally, an app comes along for my iPhone that will allow for reliable access to Mediaportal liveTV.  The only improvement I would seek is the ability to choose among multiple channel lineups.
