DIRECTV Customer Insights

1. Please contact me personally Directv and I will show you exactly what I mean, and I will literally help you make all of your customers using the app happy in one fell swoop.The DirecTV tablet app does not work on tablets running Android 5.0.1. it loads DirecTV and it also loads the TV Guide for DirecTV however would you select the show it will load the TV screen and the little activity Circle will run and then all of the sudden that goes to a black screen with nothing inserted in it.

2. I actually think DirecTV is doing this on purpose as they don't want you to watch their TV shows on a tablet.

3. One America News Network would be enjoyable to watch while away.This is the worst app in the history of new technology! Read the other reviews and as they indicate there is continuous connection issues, or the app closes, retry promps, etc.

4. Plz fix this dang app!!This app is getting worse, certainly not better! A couple months ago, you took away the option to watch DVR'd content, unless connected to the same WiFi as the Genie-which makes no sense-I want to use the app, when I'm away, not at home.

5. And once it loads and you select a program to watch, you cannot get into a program a good 5 minutes before it starts buffering or just cuts off altogether.

6. I could have another car for that amount!App will not rotate out of widescreen like the smartphone version can, nor is there an option to watch in split screen.

7. I can't rate the apps ease of use, navigation, etc because I am not able to open it to navigate! I am a subscriber to Direct where it advertises streaming to your laptop, tablet and cell phone.

8. I really do not understand, why Directv doesn't just make the app almost exactly the same as using the cable box, except without a remote control? I understand that there are limitations because it's an app.

9. But when you try to find a specific show/movie to watch on the app, it finds it, but that's where it becomes complicated for no good reason at all.

10. The worst is when it crashes on a show you can't fast forward and then you are stuck watching the show from the start again.

11. I put up with it to watch my shows but I hate it.
