Ratings and Reviews
Very unstable
This app is very unstable. Over an hour it may pause several times. Might even exit to having to open app again or get a screen that says “bebop bee bop something went wrong”. Sound will cut out for a couple seconds. No where near as user friendly as the box. I use Apple TV as my platform. I get 450 mbs cable speed. I get same issues on 2 TV’s; one direct cable connection the other Wi-Fi. I don’t have any of these issues with other apps i.e. Prime, HBO max, Netflix etc. I’m going to try Apple TV which has all but 1 Channel I watch. Sparklight TV app needs serious work. I can’t imagine HBO max releasing such junk as this.
Missing functionality
There is no way to set favorite channels, which is a big miss in my opinion. Also, for recordings you cannot set how many episodes you want to keep so the older versions roll off automatically and you don’t have to go in and delete all the time. And too many buttons to push to get the “Last” functionality on a normal tv remote.
Barely works.
App keeps losing connection to networks. Doesn’t work on Fire TV Stick, iPhone or iPad on your own home wifi. It doesn’t let one restart a program. When watching a show it restarts after getting two thirds through it. Overall this is a poorly developed app and needs to go back to the drawing board. With as much as you pay to watch cable tv with this app you think it would work. App still not working on iPhone as of 18 April 2023 and barely working on the other platforms. If possible I would rate it zero stars.
