This is the only streaming app that freezes up, takes forever to load, and no it's not my wifi. I replaced my roku and that didn't help either. You've also raised my bill 3 times in a year and a half. If it goes up again in September, I will probably cancel it. I'm on SSI and can't afford anymore that what I'm paying now. Also when a sportings event runs over the recorded time, it deletes it, instead of adding time to it.

I've used this app for at least 6 years now, the fact that we don't have the ability to exit app and have a floating video to continue watching is obscene. I've used a Samsung Galaxy fold for that entire timeframe, and now have the trifold, which is legitimately a tablet, and I still can't access without being in full screen OR using the multitasking capability but it never scales appropriately on the fly and cuts off half the picture. Honestly, do better, this has gone on for far too long

Surprise! Updates make it worse. Does not coordinate with the television. The communication between the phone app and the TV is even worse than before. Recordings on one don't show on the other and vice a versa. Even more difficult to navigate now. Not user-friendly at all. Honestly there are times when you don't think an app can get worse...well, DirecTV you've done it.
