Like it very very much.
Horrible
I can’t record any of my shows!
I loose shows occasionally, but overall the app works well
Occasionally there are bad recordings of several types. However, I really appreciate have this DVR.
Bring back remote function
Why was the remote removed from the app?
Fine, need room for improvement
App is not ultimately the worst, but, can use some improvements. For starters, the remote feature needs to return and secondly, the app could use a newer outlook. Hopefully, soon 🤞🏾
Not Good
This app doesn't compare to other media apps. It crashes every time I change the channel in the app. You took away the remote feature which makes no sense at all! You should also be able to watch, minimize and do other things on your phone. This app needs a serious makeover!!!
It doesn’t work like it says
This app sucks. It tells you it’s tv to go but it blocks out so many shows and sports events. Done with Optimum. I would give it 0 stars but it makes you give it at least 1. But it really sucks.
TV on the go.
Why can I watch TV on the go at home but not when I'm outside my house?
New app
On the new app I can no longer pick the tv I want to use. Not good.
TV
It’s ridiculous how they limit the channels on Optimum TV
Optimum app
Very good
Optimum
Everything about Optimum is disgraceful, the hardware, the system, the service. As soon as there is an option me and our entire neighborhood will run away from Optimum
Removed features
This app was great/good, but they removed a key feature - you can no longer use your phone as a remote control for your cable box
Good but…
Generally works great. The one crucial feature missing is being able to minimize/reduce the size of the show you are watching live or recorded and be able to work in other apps at the same time. Please add this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great!
Works very well. Hard drive fills up too fast on fiber. For the price they could give us more.
AI commercials are awful
Cheapskates can’t even afford good AI. Why is my bill going up to pay for your garbage AI?
Aspect ratio not formatted correctly on Apple TV
Over the years I’ve explained MULTIPLE TIMES to the developers and they insist it’s not their problem and they refuse to fix it. When watching via a cable box or the iPad version of the app, it will probably show 3:4 channels burnt in the correct aspect ratio. But on the Apple TV version of the app, it will stretch the picture and crop off heads and feet. The fact they keep telling me it’s not fixable just goes to show the incompetence of Altice. —— In response to what the reply: If you cared at all, you wouldn’t have brushed me off the first time I emailed you, saying “it doesn’t need an update” when it actually does. You need to fix your code, hire better people, and do the job right!
Altice
I don’t like the new boxes my tv keep stopping an freezing very disappointing!!
Remote and AirPlay option
All of a sudden I can’t control my tv from my phone. Put back the remote option and the screen mirror or airplay option.
Update
Since an update not sure when it took place the app has gone down hill. I like the freature to record shows where ever I am but they removed the remote control fearute. Also while watching on my moble device the app radomly shuts down. Needs work.
App limits use
Should be able to watch tv we are paying for anywhere when using the app.
Useless
I get the iOS link from Optmum.net to access my dvr from my phone, download this optimum tv app, sign in and get the message, “Hello, looks like you’ve installed the wrong app. Then it tells me to use the Optimum app and while that app works, it does not offer a way to access my dvr recordings. There is no way to do it! Support reached out and says I have to return four boxes and exchange them for four new boxes to be able to use the Optimum TV app…. Huh? I need to replace all the hardware that uses cloud dvr so I can use your software???If I wanted to drive 40 minutes to the optimum store I would have. And the last time I removed a box they kept charging me for it!
Bring Back Remote Control
I really wish you hadn't removed the remote control option from the app. I found it to be very useful.
APP SUCKS
Its very annoying and frustrating that you can’t fast forward when watching on demand videos. If I’ve watched something for forty minutes and then rewind to the ten minute mark, I can’t skip back to the 40 minute mark. I have to rewatch everything all over again . That is incredibly STUPID
AirPlay disconnecting
Every time I AirPlay a channel on from my phone to TV every few minutes it disconnects. This doesn’t usually happen with other apps when I AirPlay, only this app.
Watch live tv
I should be able to watch live TV using the app when I’m not home ridiculous. I paid for $398 and can’t watch live TV on my
Horrible Service
Freezes a lot. Poor service. Channels stop mid stream.
Bring back the remote!
Best feature was the remote. Bring it back.
