User Reviews

Users report that TVO can discover TiVo devices on the network and let you control them from iPhone/Apple Watch, including basic navigation and playback. However, repeated issues—needing a real remote to set up, missing power/volume controls, unreliable connections, compatibility problems with Mini/newer devices, and weak support/value—make it inconsistent and often not worth the price.

Pros

Auto network discovery finds TiVo devices (including a Mini in some cases) and lists them by IP with simple renaming.
Remote control works from iPhone and Apple Watch, including pause/rewind/skip, enabling use from another room.
Buttons respond quickly on supported TiVo models (e.g., Roamio OTA) when setup is successful.
Works across multiple TiVo models and can control devices remotely when integration succeeds.

Cons

Requires a physical TiVo remote to set up, a setup hurdle not clearly communicated upfront.
No power on/off or volume controls; cannot fully replace a remote.
Unreliable connectivity: won’t connect, cannot auto-find, requires IP entry, and can crash or become unusable.
Inconsistent compatibility with TiVo Mini and newer TiVo streaming devices.
Poor value and support: reports of crashes, nonfunctional support pages, and calls for refunds.

Recent reviews

I bought this to use with the Mini in the bedroom, but it doesn’t 😢. Is there something I need to do to make it access the Mini and not the main box?

If you’re the rare individual that still uses a TiVo DVR, then you should know this app still works well as of 10/8/25. I’ve been using it on Apple Watch to control my Roamio OTA. It does seem to be slightly slow, at least via Apple Watch. It can take up to 2 seconds for the TiVo to react after pressing a button, but it always responds so be patient. Also it does NOT seem to be able to control a TiVo mini. Those are the only two issues I noticed.
