DIRECTV App Reviews

OMG

I freaking love this when Im on the toilet I wont miss a tv show ?

What I Use and How it Works

I use the app mainly to set up recordings remotely, and search for programs/movies I hear about when Im not home but want to record. For the functions I use it works fine but, I do find the GUI limiting, hence the 4 stars. (Direct TV never claimed to have the most easy to use, seamless GUI so I can only say it does what it says it does-Lets you search for and record shows on the go.). Ive used it once or twice to watch a TV show on my iPad and it worked fine but I was on my home WiFi. Suggestions if Direct TV reads this stuff. I do think the software could be improved to provide a more personalized user experience. For example, why not provide some of the features that makes TIVO so popular: The ability to set up a show to record when viewing a commercial; to make recommendations based on recording history; to have Pilot and Season Premiere searchable categories that make it easy to know whats coming in the world of watchable entertainment and easily opt in to record a pilot or season premier. Perhaps some of that functionality is proprietary to TiVo but I doubt all of is. :-)

It doesnt appear to do anything

After granting permissions it shows the logo on a black screen and does nothing.

Works great!

The app works great for me most of the time. Only issue for me is that it freezes sometimes...I think related to internet speeds or cellular data speeds. It would be helpful if the app was able to somehow monitor this and autocorrect or if there was a way to refresh the screen when this happens without closing the program that you are watching and then restarting it.

Directv

The APP is awesome.

DIRECTV finally works

The latest upgrade fixed several issues I was having, was afraid to update the app because last time it killed it DEAD. This time alls well and am happy with function. Thanks gals and guys

Direct Disaster

The app is just representative of the futile and totally frustrating experience with Direct TV. The ATT and Direct TV marriage should be annulled asap. It is torture to deal w/ ATT or Direct TV Customer Service is abysmal But unfortunately alternatives not much better.

Useless

Couldnt say enough bad things about this app. Its been a long downhill slide for DIRECTV since at&t took over.

Biggest regret of all time.

Directv, known for "being able to record and watch anywhere anytime in HD..." this is highly untrue. I have tried to watch several movies and shows in the last 2 months of having this application and every time I have to pause when something comes up, guess what? Magically the show is no longer available and I am unable to watch it. The customer service isnt much better when I have to call in. If you want an app to watch the movies, download Netflix or Amazon Prime Video. It will save you grief. Plus at least their customer service is head and shoulders above Directv, and is not over charged as directv is. Save yourself some grief, save your pennies, and avoid at all costs. One of my biggest regrets when I signed up for Directv, and downloading the application. Whats the point in offering something when you can not provide what you offer?

Trash! Cant watch anything!

Please fix your app! Its painful to try and watch amy programming, when the signal constantly freezes! Its 2017, hire some people that know what they are doing!!

Would give zero stars if I could

I have the same problems as everyone else. It freezes, drops programming doesnt start from the right spots. Also, I cant stream my dvr unless Ive connected my device to the dvr at my house. I did that, then deployed. Now I can only watch the stuff that was on my dvr when I connected it. What good is that? Ive heard that dish network allows you to stream to your device, any thing that is on your dvr. I love DIRECTV when Im home but this app is almost worthless to me. Ill probably watch amazon on deployment.

Shows never available

Waste

No video feed

No video feed pops up when I change a channel. I have to turn off tv then turn on to then watch the show I changed to. A bit ridiculous. One positive we are weaning off watching so much tv. Also seems strange that direct tv works so well on highway streaming yet can glitch in home doesnt make sense. Also no tv during rain storm. But can click over to recorded show and can view another show just not if a tornado might be coming

Glitchy and hard to navigate..

Streams are glitchy on how well they work and it isnt easy to navigate. Needs some features to be considered better such as being able to listen with the phone locked if you dont want to stream the video while driving.

Works Inconsistently at best and no support!!

At best this app works inconsistently!!! Worst part is there is NO real support for issues. Both ipad and iphone show "failed" for numbers 4 and 5 when testing network connectivity but theres no explanation as to what 4 and 5 represent! So no idea if these falures are the reason for inconsistencies when trying to watch. Searched all over online but no explanation anywhere. Support is useless!!! DTV really went downhill after ATT deal. Im a 22 year DTV cusomter but thinking of switching as it looks like there are now a few better options out there.

Love it!

I love that I can watch live tv, watch recorded shows that are on my DVR, and use my phone as a remote.

Take it with you

Love taking it with me anywhere. Dont like limited shows from mobile to satellite

Love!!

Absolutely love watching my favorite shows on Directv app!!!

Buggy

Crashes all the time when trying to watch live tv at home over wifi. Only really good for setting the DVR to schedule something to record for later

Go Go

Tv on the go. I love it!
