User Reviews

Users appreciate the app's remote recording and Chromecast features alongside basic live TV and guide views. However, many report frequent bugs, slow performance, outdated guides, and a lack of key features like favorites and better navigation. Streaming functionality is problematic on non-PC devices. Compatibility issues and the absence of recent updates lead to frustration, prompting some users to rely directly on the Humax box rather than the app. Overall, while the core functionality is valuable, the app's inconsistent behavior diminishes the user experience.

Pros

Supports remote recording, which many users find useful and functional.
Allows viewing live TV, TV guide, and recordings on the phone.
Chromecast integration to display content on other devices within the house.
Simple and easy to connect to the Humax Aura box initially.
Useful features include electronic program guide (EPG) and ability to schedule recordings remotely.

Cons

App is often slow, hangs, or fails to load schedules and TV guides consistently.
Lacks important features like favorites or channel filtering, making navigation difficult.
Frequent bugs prevent successful recording or conflict messages appear when scheduling.
Inconsistent or outdated channel lists and program guides that do not match the box's data.
No recent updates or improvements; the app appears neglected and buggy, causing user frustration.
Streaming issues: poor streaming performance on mobile apps with no rewind/forward support except on PC.
Compatibility issues with newer phones and operating systems.
Users often have to use the Humax box directly due to app unreliability.

Recent reviews

Needs bug fixes and updates- used to function fine and the schedule would load. Now, if I try to see what's on the schedule via the app, it won't load anything. When selecting items to record via the app, it hangs, doesn't set to record and comes up with a conflict message. This has occurred in the last 3 months and nothing has altered in my set up. Deeply annoying to no longer rely on the app and have to use the Humax box itself.

TV guide starts to load then it just shows a blank gray screen. By the last app update date (2023) and the fact the box hasn't ever had an update (including security patches) one can only conclude Aura is a dead duck!
