Ratings and reviews

This is an app that I am happy exists and I fully support the developer. I'm glad EPG auto-updates were added. Unfortunately, when it's updating in the background it makes my 2015 Shield almost unusable. Netflix will not accept any input and crashes after a 10 second time out. The whole system is extremely laggy and unstable during background updates. I do have a rather large list, but auto-updates needs some refinement. I plan to get a new Shield soon but my first gen has been more than powerful enough to handle everything thrown at it... except for this EPG update. Feature Request: I think it would be great to allow choosing the time of day to update in the background. If it updates at 2:00 AM and hogs all my resources then, that's fine. 7:00 PM, for example, is not a good time though. It just started to update and crashed Netflix until I force quite the app. Please take a look at this when possible Michael. It would make the app much more usable to me. Keep up the good work and let me know if I can help with logs or anything.

This app is great, it really works well with Live Channels. It's great for the Shield TV. I totally think this app is worth the money. Get it and your setup will really be seamless. I want to give it a 5 star rating but 1 issue. Why can't this app be ran from a SD card? It won't allow me to switch the storage to an external drive. TVIRL uses a lot of storage on my setup, like over 8 gigs!! Which maxes me out on the Shield HD. Can we not allow this to be run from an external drive? On a Shield its formatted as system storage, and you need a high speed stick for a Shield anyway. I'm sure it would run. Anyone face this issue as well?

This app is a life saver, so easy to use and well built. I love that it unlocks Android's default Live Channels app and doesn't try to provide a poor proprietary UI like many other IPTV apps. It's parent approved! Works perfectly with my IPTV service, playlist downloads are super fast on my Nvidia Shield and changing settings is simple. The only thing I would like to see is a bit more documentation of it's features, especially of the expert settings and what they do/are used for? The developer is extremely active on Twitter which I appreciate and the pace of development is quick. The only issues i've experienced are actually with the Live Channels app itself, so well done Michael! I'm looking forward to auto playlist updates, as well as DVR functionality in the future which would make this a 6 star app.
