Optimum Customer Insights

1. Then, when the commercials come on 10x louder than the show was, it used to be convenient for me to quickly open the app remote & lower the volume or mute the commercials, which is not possible with the new app.

2. EX: The remote on the previous app had volume control; the new app's remote has NO volume control, not even a mute button! Sometimes I turn up my TV volume if I'm leaving the room for 2 min (so I can hear it).

3. With the remote it's impossible to use the number pad to get to the channel I want due to the lag between the app and my cable box, and the most important part of the app, managing the DVR, doesn't work.

4. • when the remote control disappears during a great moment in a movie or show, it's right there and works fine.

5. If you can't make this one work bring the old one back.H-O-R-R-I-B-L-E!!!!!! Freezes all the time, cannot watch a 30 min show without it freezing several times.

6. doesn't always open, loses connection in the middle of watching a show, can't watch programs you have recorded on the DVR, craps out way too often.

7. I use the app as a remote, the previous version had volume controls.

8. Otherwise the app works well, except I cant change channels through the guide, which is another purposely done function that does not help anyone.It's ok, but I much preferred the setup of the old app.

9. When I click on the "GUIDE" tab it takes forever to load, and when I click on a specific show on a channel it takes forever to load as well.

10. I just reached out to optimum and was told this was not a design flaw but this is how the remote will function.

11. 2) isn't the purpose of the app to allow you access to TV anywhere in the house? This app is the epitome of useless.They took the volume controls away.
