Mmm, it's ok if your just wanting to setup recordings to your box. But this lacks the ability to actually watch your recorded shows on the go or from another room in your home from your linked devices. If it had these features, it would be an awesome​ app! So come on Freesat, let us all be able to record AND watch our shows too.

The TV guide has been updated in a beta version and is much better - it's now based on a moving grid which brings it closer in line with guides from other providers. It still has a few issues though. The guide does not show the record status of a programme - please inlude this. The 'now' button is a good idea, but it's in the wrong place at the bottom of the grid and obscures the final row of the grid. Please put in the 'ribbon' at the top.

It's a great app the remote programming feature is excellent. However I find it unreliable often not able to display data or not updating. The new Today feature again is great but often displays "loading" or "cannot display data" message. If reliability could be improved I'd give it 5 stars.

OK, after the "issues" in November 2016 the developer if contacted directly was able to issue a "temporary" work around which got it all working again, albeit with what I consider missing features. However the latest version (2.1.94) for me is really very good, everything works, and the "floating" programme menu where you can easily scroll horizontally and vertically all just by dragging with your finger is great. Setting recording seems to be 100% reliable so far as well, all in all, vast improvements have been made!

I used to have Sky and was worried I'd lose the features it offered. I've been using this for almost 3 months now and don't miss Sky even a little bit. I can do all I want and expect from an app like this. If you want to stream content then use the appropriate app. I get more from this app than the Sky app gave me.

Impressed with the app. There appears to be a bug when searching for a show. The series/episode entries are the wrong way around. They are correct when you go into the detail. E.g. Series 20 Episode 4 in the search result, but Series 4 Episode 20 in the programme detail.

Nice to be able to program my freesat box when I am not at home, using my mobile phone. Box sometimes hangs up and has to be power cycled, no idea if this app has anything to do with that..

Comes alive when paired to a freesat box with PVR. I use a Humax HB-1000S and a USB HDD. The remote functions are good and setting recordings works okay with the proviso you are scheduling something at least 30 mins in the future. It takes time for freesat to send the recording request to the paired box over the internet. New TV guide is a massive improvement.

I want to like this app, but it is slow and unreliable. Also it would be nice if I didn't have to login every time.

Much easier to browse the guide on the app than it is on the actual Freesat box! This also makes it easier to set up and manage recordings. It's just a shame that it's not possible to watch recordings through the app.

The freesatapp is a brilliant piece of kit. I can now plan all the things that I want to record in advance or take them off. Highly recommended. Many thanks James

Firstly, I have a universal remote app to control Humax and other equipment. Therefore it is very annoying to have this app search for the box every time to set up remote control just for the Humax, when I don't need it! How about a setting option NOT to use the app as a remote? Secondly, the app will not let you delete a recording! There is no facility to do this. So if you accidentally set a recording erroneously, you are stuffed. Come on, sort this out please? In the last few days, despite reinstalling, re-pairing, it keeps telling me there is a problem with my recordings. So I cannot set recordings or see what is recorded. I have force stopped the app. Nothing seems to cure it. There is NOTHING wrong with my internet, or WiFi. Everything else works. What the Dickens is going on?!!!!

its ok but im very shocked to find that there is NO HOME BUTTON to return you to the screen on your tv which allows you to navigate to settings.... I only use this because my remote malfunctioned...

Brilliant. This app is a good reason to choose Freesat in itself. Works just like the menu and program guide on the Humax box, showcase is brilliant, remote record is great. Really eases the pain of downgrading from Sky. Fantastic and FREE!

I get the complaints about recording shows when out but seriously not working as a remote?whats wrong with the ACTUAL remote?

The recent update to have really sorted out the problems.... it works really well... love the ability to pick programmes from the listings.

New version much improved good planner layout, as well as now and next. Just wish I could manage recordings better, e.g. series delete not possible and see available space​ in app.

This app works every time as long as you have a good data service or WiFi. Have use it many times when away from home and seen an advert for an upcoming programme.

This app will not run on my new LG G6 - every time I try to run it, the 'this app has stopped' window appears before the app has even opened! Uninstalling and re-installing makes no difference. Does it run on android 7.0 on any device?

Used to pair with my box ok, but now will not which reduces it's functionality rather.

Great app that work very well with my freesat box. A nice extension would be to add a link to IMDb when viewing the information on films.

Ran first time on Lenovo IdeaTab s6000-f running Android 4.2.2. Crashed and reported. Tried second time crashed. Now removing app.

Great little app. The remote bit is great if you've got kids who like to lose the actual remote like mine do!

Ok so it's not Sky Q however it's a non subscription service and does a great job. The app is reliable and reasonably easy to use for remote recording which is it's main function in my view

New EPG layout is a huge leap forward - love it. Only time will tell on stability so no comment at this stage.

Just a glorified TV Guide does not work with Android TV with built-in tuners and TV Guide very hard to read

Use to be terrible TV guide but has improved alot, but still room for improvement on other things.

As a remote freesat recorder and TV guide you can't ask for more. I work away a lot and record individual programmes or complete series making the most of my freesat box .

It's really useful to be able to set up recordings from your phone. I like that feature a lot. I think the app is pretty good all round for browsing and a lot quicker than using the remote.

It works ok for setting record but doesnt always have the correct programming details until a day or 2 before shown.

Do not want to have to re-pair every time there is an update

Works well, record is deathly slow, which is a shame but you can 'catch up'

I've only been using it for a few days but so far it hasn't let me down. Great to be able to set up recordings away from the TV.

Useful but annoyingly keeps crashing when I try to set a programme to record.

Cracking little app. I'm well impressed!

well improved a lot better. a reminder and Rec symbol on the Today view of the TVguide would be great. still in beta so maybe more improvements to come. a great update so far

Best app for freesat. Only down side is accessing on demand from the app. It's a pain in the backside.

Please make the remote control buttons bigger / better spaced - otherwise a great app. Thanks.

Worked for a couple of days and now totally useless.

Works perfectly especially when your out and forgotten to record something also has a remote (useful when the wife is bidding the other one)
