Customer Reviews
Like the new update
Very rare to write a review but I was amaze and surprise about the new update on the app this was the features that i was waiting for and I read with the update you can watch programs even away without using your data plan as long as you are a ATT subscriber. Thats a great feature and excited to use it even im away from home without the worry of using up my data.
Terrible app
The remote control in the app is terrible. I challenge the developer to put down their remote and try to watch TV with only the remote in this app; it has no buttons for select, exit, up, down, info, and others.
Also, it does not work on Apple Watch. I've enabled all of the External Devices settings and it still doesn't work. Some suggested that you need to disable 5 GHz on your router. That makes no sense; the DirecTV receiver communicates with the devices through a built-in web server which hosts an XML web service. It is completely unaware of the radio frequency of your router.
Love this app
For me Im new to direct tv so I started with cable in one room (for now plus I wont be in bed lazy watching tv all day lol) my son is 8 so instead of fighting over a tv I use my tablet & pull up this app while my son enjoys tv in the living room at the same time !! Love this app over all & the price is AMAZING !! Never changed and if it did it was less not more $$ !! I Highly recommend to EVERYONE!!
