Overall, users praise the clean UI, strong DVR features, and HDHomeRun integration, making it essential for OTA cord-cutters. However, stability and update-related issues (playback glitches, crashes, and feature gaps) along with pricing concerns limit its appeal for some users.
Pros
  • Clean, well-designed UI with an excellent live TV guide.
  • Robust DVR features including 2-hour rewind, recording, and offline downloads, plus commercial skipping.
  • Efficient HDHomeRun integration with multi-user viewing on one tuner and improved video quality.
  • Reliable performance and responsive developer support.
  • Strong value for OTA cord-cutters; essential for HDHomeRun setups.
Cons

  • Update-related crashes or channels stopping/launch failures on certain devices and OS versions.
  • Missing features or bugs on some devices (no multiview on tv/ipad; missing picture-in-picture; Apple TV guide bugs).
  • Pricing concerns and perceived ongoing costs (monthly/annual fees or pricey upgrades).
  • Tuner/remote access and channel scanning reliability issues (tuner unreachable, channels not found).

Really solid simple app. All i can recommend is adding a dark mode theme for the phone and apple tv app would be so cool especially when watching at night. Anyways thanks for the great app!

This app is so clean and well designed. I absolutely love the hidden channel surfing feature! It’s fast and really a reminder of how channel surfing old school tv. Also love the 2 hour recording/rewind. This app paired with an HDHomeRun is an absolute must for your Apple TV box!

Video replay via Channels is full of jitter, audio/ video out of sync and yet they still take your money? I’d reconsider.
