## Review summary

User reviews consistently report the TiVo iOS app as largely unusable due to ongoing login/authentication problems, password-reset loops, and confusing or broken UI. Many users experience sign-in failures across devices (iPhone vs iPad), password requirements that block access, and months-long outages following updates. Some positives exist: when the app works, it can stream TiVo content on iPhone and manage recordings remotely. The core issue appears to be account and authentication reliability, with crashes, poor cross-device consistency, and broken access to recordings driving widespread frustration.

### Pros

- Remote control of TiVo units and recording management (when functioning).
- Ability to stream TiVo content to iPhone.
- Historically easy access to programming and scheduling recordings via the app.

### Cons

- Persistent login/sign-in failures across devices and after password resets.
- Frustrating password change/reset UI and strict password requirements causing logins to fail.
- UI/layout glitches and broken screens (e.g., screens too narrow, guide inaccessible).
- App crashes or becomes unusable after updates; inconsistent behavior across iPhone and iPad.
- Access to recordings and account control is broken (e.g., emails not recognized, partner accounts no longer supported).
