Don’t believe the negative reviews. It’s amazing! – PlayOn Mobile Review

This app and the desktop version is really quite amazing. This along with the desktop version turns your computer into a media server. And it allows you to skip all the commercials. Even though it records the commercials, the playback lets you skip all the ads. So nice! Also if you have limited / metered bandwidth at home you can set it to download in the middle of the night when everyone is asleep and not using bandwidth. My one major request is please please make an Apple TV version and enable me to sling directly to my Apple TV. It has that ability for my Roku but I just retired my Roku and upgraded to Apple TV. Other feature requests that would make this wonderful app even better: ** Add more networks that other cable providers open up access to called “TV Anywhere.” I know PlayOn supports quite a few but there are a lot more. TV Anywhere from my cable provider lets me watch FOXNOW, FX NOW, TBS, USA Network, TNT, A&E, NAT GEO TV, ESPN, BBC America, Paramount, ID GO, Discovery Discovery, Life, HGTV, Fox News, Travel Channel, Hallmark Channel, Vineland, Sci Go, SYFY, Animal Planet, ABC, NBC, and the list goes on... I’d like to be able to record all of these. ** Enable users to also use VidAngel which streams shows that you can cut out content you find offensive and enable you to watch more shows with your kids. VidAngel software is low quality and doesn’t enable downloading. I would much rather use the high quality apps that PlayOn builds. I’ve been a big fan of PlayOn for years and have a lifetime subscription to the PlayOn desktop. I recently retired my old Roku 2 and upgraded to Apple TV 4K. I was bummed to learn the PlayOn Mobile doesn’t have the ability sling from my computer directly to AppleTV (though I could for my Roku, I guess because they made a PlayOn Mobile app for Roku but not yet for AppleTV). I thought I was going to be out of luck but was happy to stubmle upon the other PlayOn Cloud app which lets me sling from my iPad to my Apple TV. Should you ever need it, PlayOn customer support is absolutely top-notch. I haven’t had to use it for this app but I’ve had technical issues with the Desktop version on my windows computer and PlayOn technicians are always super fast to get a problem resolved even when it’s caused by some other software like Comodo internet causing a conflict. Quit reading and download this app now or check out the PlayOn Cloud app.
