I HATE the 2020 releases – [Old] – DISH Anywhere Review

Still stinks. Bring back the 2019 version. I agree with all of the recent reviews. Why can’t you just go back to version 7.28.0? This used to be my favorite app, but it is painful. I now don’t take the upgrades, since every version since January has made the application worse. All I want is an easy transfer to my iPad, and the a fast forward button to go forward 30 seconds and a backward button to go back 10 seconds. Would that be so hard? I would just be so happy if they reverted to last year’s version of the app. —————— This used to be my favorite app, but since January the changes are ALL AWFUL. You took an awesome app and KILLED IT. The new UI is unusable, what was wrong with the buttons. They took the transfers and made them hard to use, you removed the forward button on transfers. How can I just go back to the January release and I would be so happy. I was asked to update the review with more specifics. The issue is not error messages. All of my comments relate to the iPad version. If you want to discuss, send me an email and I would be happy to discuss. Here are my specific complaints: 1. In version 7.29.11 you removed the forward 30 second button from the transfers, and you made the rewind to be 30 seconds instead of 10 seconds. I want the forward button to come back, and liked the backwards 10 seconds. 2. In version 8.1.2 for watching shows from my DVR, you removed the forward and backward buttons, and moved the to arrows in the top left corner. That change is MUCH less functional. 3. In version 8.1.2 when I have lots of a program on my DVR, you added a “Season” drop down to filter between the programs. The old Way was a long list to scroll through. The old way scrolling through the list was MUCH easier to deal with. 4. Watching shows that are both on my DVR and On Demand was much easier prior to 8.1.2 when you kind of merged them. 5. Putting transfers onto its own “island” is a pain, and less functional. 6. When watching a show on 8.1.2, if I click the screen the show pauses. I HATE this. I like the old way where I can click to see the time, and see the controls but the show keeps going. 7. I don’t like having to minimize the show when watching it from my DVR to get the “X” in order to close the show. It is clunky.
