Freesat for Android
Latest update has resolved login issues. App seems to be performing Ok so far.
Loved this app on my previous phone, but more I'm unable to use it. :-( Hurrah, it's been fixed at last. :-)
Doesn't crash on startup any more. Happy that it's now functional. Might even give it the extra star if it turns out to be alright
Every time I search and find a programme to record it comes up with no content available. Frustrating.
Recent update has fixed the problem of the app not even opening on my phone. Features working perfectly. Love showcase feature and the remote recording. Brilliant.
Had this for some time now and always worked fine on my Samsung S4 and S7 for remote recording. Since recent update, when I search for programmes that I know will be on in the next 7 days, it finds them and the programe description flashes up and immediately dissappears and then it says that it can't find any info and I am unable to press record as it does not receive any focus, this has happened to most programmes over the last week that I have wanted to record - not good enough really. It was fine but now just does not seem to work on my programmes. Has been 5 stars up till now but now only 2 as it is not really usable Also keep getting message "Unfortunately, Freesat has stopped"
Had the app for a couple of months and won't allow me to register. Returns with 'invalid select input'. Update. Registered on line and OK now. Many thanks.
reset password and can log into website but can't log into app anymore since update. UPDATE: still can't log in after your reply. Same issue. cleared cache etc. help.
The TV guide has been updated in a beta version and is much better - it's now based on a moving grid which brings it closer in line with guides from other providers. It still has a few issues though. The guide does not show the record status of a programme - please inlude this. The 'now' button is a good idea, but it's in the wrong place at the bottom of the grid and obscures the final row of the grid. Please put in the 'ribbon' at the top.
Comes alive when paired to a freesat box with PVR. I use a Humax HB-1000S and a USB HDD. The remote functions are good and setting recordings works okay with the proviso you are scheduling something at least 30 mins in the future. It takes time for freesat to send the recording request to the paired box over the internet. New TV guide is a massive improvement.
The recent update to have really sorted out the problems.... it works really well... love the ability to pick programmes from the listings.
New EPG layout is a huge leap forward - love it. Only time will tell on stability so no comment at this stage.
I get the complaints about recording shows when out but seriously not working as a remote?whats wrong with the ACTUAL remote?
Great little app. The remote bit is great if you've got kids who like to lose the actual remote like mine do!
Used to pair with my box ok, but now will not which reduces it's functionality rather.
Update has improved things a lot. Good work chaps
Like the new layout. Opens much quicker and responds better for setting a recording now. Thanks!!
Love it great fun being in control.
Much improved
Updated app fixed constant logout issue and app is good but experience d random reboots since pairing the app. Unpaired and no more reboots? Weird but not alone. Shame as app is easy to use an great to remote set programmer but random reboots lose recording so not much use to me. Am I logged in? Yes ok I want tomorrow record something No you're not logged in. Ok I will log in. Great ah want to record? Nope not logged in. Fun for all the family ...not
Used a few times to set to record while out but the program doesn't, even thought the app says the request was sent. The remote control takes forever to locate the box and react to the buttons. Needs a lot of work to get working properly I think!
Really thought this would work by now. Gave up using it a year ago but got new phone so thought I'd try again. Worked for a few days but now it's randomly unpaired my Humax box so i can't set remote recording! I'm away from home so really annoying!
Trying to record some programs /films etc. A lot of the time when trying to do some recordings through my mobile phone. Keeps coming up with, SORRY, NO CONTENT AVAILABLE. Then you are unable to record that programme /film
This app is pretty good when it works, and I'd rate it 5 star then. Problem is whenever there's an update it unpairs my freesat box with this app on my mobile and, dispite entering a new pairing code it won't allow me to repair to the freeway box, useless.
I only want the app so I can set recordings remotely but I click on a program and it goes to a completely different one. It doesn't matter what I do, I cannot select the program I want to set a record. The only other use of the app is to use it as a remote control, but good luck getting it to connect to the box! I love freesat and I love the humax box, but this app seriously sucks!
Now works OK with Moto G4. Dec.28 2016 update. Bug! I tried to remote record and when back home found the Humax box totally locked with no recordings and had to do a unplug power lead reset. May be the Humax? I don't think so it was ok until then.
Had this for about 3 years now (maybe more) and always worked fine. Lately though when I search for programmes that I know will be on in the next 7 days, it finds them but when I click on Record, it says it can't find any info, this has happened to almost every programme over the last couple of weeks - not good enough really.
Log in issue is fixed now - issue was non-alphanumeric characters in my password. So, apart from that slight issue this is a good app. Useful to see what's coming up on TV, set programmes/series to record and see what recordings are already on my set-top box.
Generally good. Usually works but sometimes when you search for a program it finds it but says there's no episodes when there definitely are. Also the series and episode number are generally wrong. When it works is fab but in the last couple of months is not been as good as it used to be.
Want an app that will show me what is on without have to switch on TV to use guide. Wanted to see what was on Blaze, this channel is not in the guide on this app. When I loaded the app, it could not find the Freeway smartbox sitting 5 feet away from me. For me this app is the biggest waste of space I have come across.
Poor, keeps crashing whenever I send a record request. I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it on my Lenovo Yoga 2 tablet several times but it makes no difference. What is the point of creating an app that doesnt do what it purports to do!
After reading some of the many negative reviews I wasn't expecting much, however the app has functioned flawlessly since the word go. Great app. I just wish freesat had channels such as Dave & Discovery.
Registration fails every time. Invalid selection of freesat product. Come on - I'm selecting it from a list you've given me! Help required please.
This latest version seems to work fine, and I can set recording etc. The interface could be better and the guide is clunky. You cant view what is on now, next and later in the guide which seems an odd design choice. Previously had lots of problems that I hope don't recur.
Using android 7.00, new update runs but unable to log in. My password contained characters other than Numbers and Letters, once I removed the characters the App works fine. Glad to be connected again
Now unusable on LG G3. A shame as this is a very useful app. UPDATE: Thanks for the reply and the update; however, I'm now on an S7 Edge where it works just fine anyway.
Rubbish app, can't login from my Galaxy S5 as its says "Login Failed- incorrect username or password", yet pasting the password from the clipboard into chrome will allow me to logon to the website. Not helped by having no "Show Password" option. Most dissapointed, will not increase this review until I can access the app.
Use to be good, but now when I try to record some programs, it pops up with description, that then disappears and says no content available and the record button is grayed out. Shame
Very glitchy. Can't seem to find programs when you search in the guide, to set up a record...such a shame.
