Ratings and reviews

Awful App. I don't know anything about boxes or recording as other users remark on. I only use the App to see what's on TV. But just scrolling up and down channels drives me nuts as it will just as easily scroll left or right, sending all timings haywire in the process. I would relish to be able to stop side-swiping in general but, as far as I know, this is not possible. The second star is for the simple fact that the channel information is there.

When it works it's great, allows me to control the box remotely (i have a video sender beaming picture upstairs). Good access to most features. Also great for setting recordings when not at home. However, most of the time it fails to connect to the box. Both on the same WiFi network. I know the box is connected as it is able to stream. Similarly the phone is definitely connected too. But the app is unable to locate the box most of the time. Sometimes resetting everything works for a bit but then next time I open the app the connection is lost again. Very frustrating and a very poor experience.

Like many, I am disappointed about the removal of Freesat IDs by Freesat. This means that the remote recording function no longer works, but the app has not been updated to reflect this. Freesat has long been dogged by phantom recording bugs, so I think that is the reason this feature has been dropped. That said, a lack of announcements or updates that fully reflect the change is very poor. The alternative seems to be Freely, but you need to buy a new TV as there are no available boxes.
