PlayOn

Worked great on my older kitkat phone, even better on the Sky with marshmallow. Both upstream bandwidth and low latency at your home are important for remote streaming through your server though. Noticeable improvement after TWC bumped us over 2mbit from the old 1.2mbit upstream (standard internet plan). One of my favorite features is how I can queue up downloads to the laptop remotely so they are ready to stream directly to the roku's when we get home (no buffering that way).

I was hoping when this became an app that I could use it. I do not have a computer. I use my smart phone and tablets only. Playon is useless to me. I thought it would help me cut my cable. But it is useless without a computer.

The app hasn't been letting me play any video's. I can work it on my roku but can not play anything on my chrom cast or my phone.

Crashes constantly, very unusable. I think it even requires a constant internet connection to work too. It seems to redownload all it's core graphics every time I load it, those should Stay downloaded imho.

Could be a great app, but only records 50% of the time. The update made it worst. I wish they would work the non recording issue out and it would be 5 stars.

It's just okay...I want to be able to delete things locally and I would LOVE for downloads to be grouped by something more ineligible than the order they were added in. I messed up when putting the shows on my phone and they got out of order. Trying to decipher what to watch next and keep in the correct order was, in short, a nightmare. Thankfully I only paid for a month, during which time I will be looking for other comparable, hopefully better, options.

I would write a detailed review on features of the app but it doesn't work. Video will not load from PC to phone when the PC is 20 feet away and it crashes constantly on my Pixel. It's a shame because it works flawlessly on Roku.

Server crashes frequently on a clean windows install. MediaMallServer.exe uses 100% cpu/memory 24hrs a day. Makes pc unstable.

I downloaded about 5tb of movies and TV shows in the first few months I had this app on my laptop. Now I can watch what ever I want on any computer phone tablet or tv for free even when I can't get an internet connection.

This is a good app....however it could be better if it allowed you to record a whole series in one go like you can on the desk top pc rather than have to go into them one at a time...make that happen and I'll give it 5*

Trial Users BEWARE! THIS APP DOESNT WORK! DONT GIVE CC THEYLL CHARGE EVEN IF YOURE NOT HAPPY! THIS APP IS USELESS WINDOWS APP IS WORSE DONT INSTALL ! SCAM TO GET YOUR MONEY

Works ok on computer doesn't work on phone or tablet when ya try to play it tells you to upgrade all in all this app sucks unless you use it on a computer

I use this just to play on media server files and to be able to tell playon server what to record so much more, Love it!

When playing video via the PlayOn app, why won't the controls fade away? It's always there!

I was considering your service but now I will not sign up for it because the record feature that allow recording from many websites including paid movie and tv subscription services promotes piracy and it violates their terms of service.

I'm going to save you a lot of time, money and aggravation. Playon does not work. They advertise a lot deliver intermittently and even then ultimately brake what was previously working. Also, if you want to stream playon to your device outside of your network then you'll have to pair your devices from inside your firewall beforehand. There is no other way. I bring this up because it's an extremely limiting feature that was purposely built in that will cause you many hour's of non use because you'll have to drive home to fix it.

Downloaded this a month ago and bought a lifetime subscription. Deleted the app shortly after and stopped using the playon server on my PC. I'm going to give it another try but really wish there was a delete option for the app.

Basically just a glorified remote for PlayOn. You still need your computer on and be connected to the server for the app to work.

NO Joke, PlayOn is a Great add-on to my Phone, Tablet & Android TV, Period. REAL TV Anywhere, Everywhere for $50/year. Get it while you can!

What happened to the picks movies. I only show 1 there now?

I would give it 5 stars but the casting barely works with chromecast and Xbox one s

Why create an APP that needs a computer?

Hope it shares Facebook

Ok so far

Does not work consistently

Outdated

Great

Noticing a couple service issues: 1) When I search and then add a movie to be recorded I can't search again. The search box will clear when I hit the "x" but I can't get back into the search box. I have to close the app and restart it. 2) There is no way in app to report an issue. I'm left hoping you actually reads your reviews.

All new interface? Who do they have doing their coding...a bunch of old men and women who learned software development in the 90s, and haven't picked up a book since? Do they think they're the only media servers available and we all just have to settle? The biggest change they've made in the last few years was to their logo, which is terrible and makes no sense. There's a lot of competition out there, and they are a lot slicker than PlayOn.

Got excited when the latest update said all new interface. Don't see any changes at all. I'll stick with using Plex to watch my library.

Looks like the same outdated interface. It's like the apps are an afterthought. Why not make the mobile and FireTV apps like the Roku app. That interface is actually good.

Just wanted to say ive been really pleased with the playon program. It took me a little while to get used to how to work the program.i feel as of this latest update i think 4.5.2 ive been able to get all of the channels i had problems working.i feel as though the support staff was able to isolate my problem and in a few days work on a fix.would be happy to pass recommendation s onto my friends with this program.

Been using playon for years, but just recently tried the app. The interface is functional, but playback is hit or miss.

You have to select EACH episode in the series instead of record all. And you have to select the computer each time. Need to make it easer to use. Have a Master selection to where you want to record to by default. Computer/Cloud.. Etc. And record all on tv episodes.

Cannot delete watched shows locally, shows part of ads even when skip is selected. If interrupted by call video restarts from start. I will use VLC or Android player.

I'm not the most tech-savvy person in the world but I have never been able to get PlayOn to record my local TV which is all I ever wanted to do I don't need to record Hulu or Netflix obviously all I want is to record shows like History Channel or 60 minutes and they always seem to fail am I having a computer problem if anyone could help answer my question I would appreciate it I bought PlayOn plus and I've never gotten any enjoyment out of it whatsoever maybe I don't understand what this is all about

Will not work on android tv box,and bad on tablet

Some smb network interface to manage Playon recordings would be nice

Need version where no PC is required.

This was simple to setup and I'm not bothered by ads and other garage. I setup my computer to stream all my music to the kids devices and their all happy. So far so good. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that you can't run this app in the background. That's my only disappointment. Otherwise it's really good. If the developers could mod that I'd give this app full stars, and more.
