This thing works half the time. When it does it buffers even though I have super fast Internet and a Wi-Fi router that never fails. Brighthouse and the monopolized cable companies are all such a joke.
Slow, icons barely load. The filtering is inaccurate. I hope Spectrum brings something different. Because I'm sick of paying for Internet speeds I never get along with the crappy service/equipment. If this keeps up I'm switching to Verizon. At least their Internet is better/faster and more consistent. Being promised 200mbps but only getting 50% or less on any given day at any time including on the BHN speed test is beyond ridiculous.
I LOVE THIS APP!!! Every time I go to use it, it loads very quickly & looks awesome on my tablet!!! Still learning best ways to navigate thru channels but that's b/c it's new to me. I've been watching the Lightning playoff & Rays games simultaneously, thanks to this app!!! Very easy, simple & wonderful aid to my sports viewing pleasure!!!! Just wish it had the equivalent of the Last button on a remote clicker. THANK YOU, BRIGHTHOUSE!!! Btw, I'm usually a critic!
I currently can't record any of my shows and nothing shows scheduled again for my DVR (Day 3). I'm told to call customer care to resolve the problem. Why do I need to call care for an app that I've been using for over a year and frequently has the same problem?
How about things people want. 1. Chromecast support. 2. Remote playback of dvr saved content. 3. Real out of house viewing instead of this half measure. Can I give 0 stars? 2015 Lightning playoff I could not watch because I was not sitting in my living room.
Always ways buffering every 5 sec...... If I'm lucky 1 out of 7/days I have no issues!!! Bright house better tighten up BC at&T is about to be servicing my area and will drop you guys due too NOTHING but issues. I had at&T uverse and Internet with NO issues.... Their app just like bhtv ....never crashed or buffered hardly at ALL!!! And they are 40$/cheaper with same service I have!! BETTER yet also....boxes are wireless! NEVER had issues with that either. I'm waiting at&T!!! Hurry up ALREADY!!!
Can make it through a movie without at least a dozen crashes, seriously!! Latest upgrade made it crash even more frequently. Meanwhile, HBO Go and Showtime Anytime apps never crash.
So you can manage your DVR, but cannot access it. What is the point. The DVR has amassed exactly what you hope to see, so why can't we access our DVR's?
Love the app. I love that I can do a lot of stuff with the app. Did I mention that it is very easy to use as well.
I live in Hernando County and I enjoy watching B.N. 9 (
Liked the old overlay screen channel search while still on live tv. The new channel search makes the screen switch from landscape to portrait mode. Makes it a pain to channel search while watching cause you continuously have to rotate your phone/tablet. The last channels viewed was a good feature that went away as well. Sometimes shows I find interesting aren't always on my favorites so it is difficult to navigate back and forth between shows for the viewing period. Besides the favorites don't hold for me anyways. Great app otherwise.
Useful app, but I'd like to see Google Cast implementation so I can watch content on my Chromecast.
Last update leaves the logo bar and wifi icon on top of the screen all the time
I'm a BH customer/subscriber, have all of the requirements listed as stated for using the app, yet it still sees me as being "away from home" as far as my WiFi network goes. What a shame. I thought it would have improved by now.
Very happy to have it when it works. But often tells me that there's an error and you can NEVER see all the movies available to stream (only goes to about the O's). And, just to throw this in, why not allow DVR access on home network?
Not a single channel plays anything. Get a message to try a different channel or later. Been like this for a few days
With our Legacy top of the lineDVR this App says no sceduled recordings and does not let you record anything using this app. Says to try again latter. This thing is 80% useless to me, I had no problems with Verizon Fios why sucky Frontier had to buy them? , why....
I downloaded for my son on his cubby tablet. It will only play sound and no visual. It will play fine on my phone but not his tablet? What is the real problem here?? I uninstalled and reinstalled and still the same. Wtf?
This app is terrible. It hangs too much and you miss good shows. The newer app buffers the same as the old. Thanks buffer house .
I would really like dlna/upnp support for casting to things like chrome cast, Roku, xbox 360 and so on. That would be a much appreciated feature so I could cast to my tv's in my detached garage. Other than that though a pretty good app
Tired of ALL CHANNELS(HD &NONHD) being UNAVAILABLE at this time. Your NEW version HAS NOT solved this problem! You promote the ability to watch t.v. from any device. Each time my family and I try on various devices(Apple & Android) its a CRAPSHOOT!
Doesn't load sometimes and when it does it locks up ... Then start spinning again!! Please fix!!
Not useless, but disappointing. I agree with a previous reviewer; the channels that are available outside your home Wi-Fi are generally not ones that most people want to see. I suppose there is some blackout/legalistic rationale behind not showing, e.g., CBS, NBC, ABC, but, not having them available REALLY limits the desirability the app. I have a Slingbox, it permits me to view every channel everywhere, and there is no monthly fee, only the original purchase price
App . doesn't work with my Samsung S7 Edge cell phone. Called Brighthouse and was told that the 3.1 app isn't up to date this cell's os
Until this update, i could watch my local stations, foxnews, etc, when working out of town. Now it seems no channels are availible. Sad. What is the point of the app....watch tv on your phone in front of the tv in your house, only ?
Works good would like to be able to watch more channels away from home Wi-Fi though
Any thing from Bright House Net works is great.
Has some lagging issues otherwise I'd rate it 5 *s
Constantly crashes, especially after what appears to be a recent update (this is June 2016). Why can't this function, as well as it did before (up until the update) or as well as all of the other apps (like HBOGO, Showtime Anytime, etc)?
It works very good all USA states.
Great app. Watch HD channelsand at home and watch limited channels away from home.
I'm getting a little tired of the errors at least once a week.
Please add Chromecast support
I love watching movies on this app!
Never works when I am at home connected to the Wi-Fi alway says "try a different channel or try later" they need to fix this app!!!!!!!
Shows load up but will not play on my galaxy note 5
App crashes every attempt to watch live tv
Not enough channels when away from home.
Working slow and mostly unresponsive
by A####:
Rather than offering streaming of the good channels, all you get out of home is a small list of mostly Florida-related channels that you never watch anyways. Other cable companies offer a much wider variety
