DIRECTV App Reviews

2230 add

Image freezes and audio keep on playing

Dont know what to say.. but the app is garbage it doesnt work right.. if I had to say Cablevision pay more attention to their app then DIRECTV.. and the funny thing is that they promo it like crazy on tv.. please put more time in too your app some off us travel and we use it to keep use entertainment..

Logo only

Ive had this app for a couple months and it has only worked once. I dont get past the logo now and its very frustrating. Please fix this asap.

Great app!!

Tv at the touch of a button! Cant beat it, I realize theres other similar apps out there but I love this DIRECTV app. This app has worked flawless for me so far after about a year. Recommended it all the time. Thanks

Love

Love that I can set my DVR from my phone!

Great for iPhone

Love this app on my iPhone but my husbands lg tablet has constant problems with it

Great

I love how easy this app is to use on my phone and on my iPad. Blows Verizon out of the water!!!

Barely functional

1) Crashes frequently 2) Long pause, have to restart stream, or crash going from wifi to LTE of if cell signal drops out 3) Often have to retry playing a live show to get the option to watch on iPhone 4) Switching to another app then back, have to restart stream 5) "We ran into a bit of a problem..." 6) When trying to record a series that might be a live event, after clicking the record button Im presented with the option to extend. If I do then the series records. If not, nothing. 7) After using the support link to send a report, I received an email with FAQs and a link to repeat my question. That link has no email option. Ridiculous.

Horrible!!!!

If there was ever an app that deserved a negative star rating, its this one. Please know I only rated it one star because zero wasnt an option. It literally takes longer to watch things I have on my DVR through the app than if I were able to just watch it live. The feed is constantly stopping and dont even try to FF through a commercial. Using the 30 second FF button pretty much insures a 45+ second wait for the video to resume. I would almost rather not even have the option of having the app, because having it, yet it being next to impossible to use is worse. Not sure why, but my Sunday Ticket app very seldom gives me problems, while this app is nothing more than one big problem. ??

Not that good

You can never watch what you have recorded on your DVR. It keeps saying not connected even when you are in the same room. Then there are times when you cant watch any of your shows on the phone

Its okay.

Its okay if you want to watch live TV. In my case it will prepare shows, download them but they never show up. Its rather annoying but hopefully its just me and not a common problem.

Switched over

Switched from Comcast ! Not only am I saving money Im getting more from DIRECTV at that lower cost!

Worst video app - unwatchable

This app is in serious need of fixing. Video constantly freezes on iPad Pro while audio continues, then crashes. I can never watch any channel for more that 5 minutes. This app is reduced to a TV guide of whats on. XFinitys app is way better. Come on, AT&T...I didnt switch for this.

Useless

Ive had the app for about 4 days... worked the first 2 now all I get is the black screen with the Direct TV logo.. PLEASE FIX!!!

Needs Improvement

Not user friendly Channels always not available DVR access not available

Stopped working, wont connect to receiver

Stopped working, wont connect to receiver. Direct Tv cannot fix issue Constantly freezes, loses connection, errors. Not stable at all and on wifi most of the time. Way too many channels are blocked out too. Uverse app was better even though that sucked too.

Is ok not great

This app need a lot of improvements, for example: it freezes a lot and un able to make a connection fast enough.

Winning

I love this app. Has all my shows..Live streaming data free..You have done it again DTV.. Fantastic. Best

Love it

I use it almost every night on my iPad when I dont want the bright light from the tv on to watch shows I downloaded.

Fix this app already

I cant record the shows I like and watch them later. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt. Its very frustrating

Slow and difficult to navigate

I find that the app sometimes takes 30-40 seconds to load on an iPhone 6 Plus. The app doesnt see all of the recorded content on your dvr, it picks and chooses what you can watch. There needs to be a way to tell your dvr to record only first run episodes from the app.
