DISH Anywhere for Positive User Reviews
✓ UnreliableThis will work for days, then suddenly most of the channels will disappear from the guide. The only recovery I have found is to uninstall and reinstall the app completely. Some days it will only play for a few minutes (<5) before telling me the player has some unknown issue and needs to be shutdown. Restarting the player may or may not work, and sometimes will only restart for a minute or two before getting the same error. Some days it works fine. The crap shoot of what it will do on any given day is horribly frustrating, though..Version: 21.4.51
✓ Previous DISH app was 5-star; this one is NOTThe current DISH app lacks features of the previous version; functionality, connectivity (current app requires frequent required login credentials and authentication) and unnecessarily awkward and frustrating interactions with icons (such as going forward or rewinding while watching a recorded show). There are many reviews here which go into further detail and discuss at length what has happened to an app which was once considered a solid, 5-star mobile application. I kept hoping some of the issues addressed in reviews here would have been addressed by now. Unfortunately they have not..Version: 21.1.30
✓ Could be better.Don’t get me wrong I LOVE Dish but this app can be frustrating and I wish they would fix it. If the mobile phone locks by accident you have to start ALL over with getting the signal back. Sometimes it goes right to where you left off, sometimes it doesn’t. If the phone falls over and the touch screen hits something you have to start all over. It should pause and easily go back to. Suggestion 1 it should still play audio on a locked screen. Suggestion 2 you should be able to minimize this app or go to another one and still have it playing much like a PODCAst app . Now Dish has come very far with this technology let’s be clear. All I am saying is it needs some tweaks..Version: 7.28.0
✓ Good app but there’s a recording glitchHey app developers, please fix this glitch: every time I try to set a recording via the app, I get a message that it “cannot create a timer.” If I’m patient enough to not touch the screen, it eventually gives a new notification that a timer was created. The error notification is misleading and wrong, and it shouldn’t pop up. The first couple of times that it did I appear, I moved off the page, unaware that a second, new message might appear. This problem started about 2 or 3 months ago and continues. Please fix for all app users. Thanks. Otherwise, the app is great. I like being able to watch and tape shows and movies when I’m not home. Compared to the Verizon app, this DISH app gets better and more reliable connectivity..Version: 23.2.32
✓ Poor updates hardly able to useI use a I phone 10 S MAX new updates has made this app almost impossible to read guide!!! I used this app a lot to look for tv shows that might interest me weather at home or away. Now I’m unable to read the garbled text!!!! I hope there is some fix or just go back to old app which was working fine!!! If there is some way to fix please do so quickly I’m under no contract and as much as I pay I would expect better app ,service features. Switching to direct tv is a option but it is a pain! I have been a loyal customer for 20 years and usually brag that I have dish network but this is putting a bad taste in my mouth!!! I would appreciate any solution to the problem.Version: 20.2.50
✓ Agile approach needed to improve dish anywhereI have used dish anywhere for several years. And I have been dismayed by the quality for the last 2 releases. A couple of years ago I had no issues with it. I used it on my iPhone and occasionally on my PC. The iPhone side has lost quality and not kept up with the hopper 3 interface. I use my iPhone in landscape mode and the progress bar in that mode is completely useless. It never shows the information correctly. The bar is set as I start it up and never changes to fit landscape. The times are not correct either. The tool also does not let me use folders in a way similar to the hopper 3. Very dissatisfying. On my pc there are simply too many buttons to push to get it started. And sometimes you have to guess how to get there. It also is not smooth. Even when I have been watching for a while it will simply pause for a few 10s of seconds and then restart. Gets pixely as well. Finally when using the guide on my iPhone the buffers are not working well. After using it on several different shows the guide starts disappearing on the grid. Just goes gray I have worked in the software industry and suggest that if you are not already doing so you should employ an agile approach. Works wonders..Version: 17.14.8
✓ Here is why i love dishSo I love dish because it’s your own little TV and you can watch movies that you like and there’s more of the kid shows that kids persuade their adults to watch them and it’s a kid appropriate show and I hope everybody likes it I don’t care what the haters say it’s OK if you have a different opinion but I still love it I’m pretty still new to it because I download it a few weeks ago. Everybody in the whole world I hope you love it it’s the best thing in the whole wide world on social media and on the environment so have a great day this is what I mean I love it so much so have a great day may God bless you..Version: 22.3.60
✓ Still ruined compared to old appThis app was perfect before. Now jumping forward or backward while playing is torture. When you push on the 30sec forward arrow to jump through the commercials it will freeze playback, these little red squares start blinking in the middle of the screen letting you know that “it is doing something” and then it will freeze and you have to push the PLAY arrow again. If you have to do this thru 3-1/2 minutes of commercials, 7 times, it is frustrating. Sometimes if you hit the forward arrow “just right” you can stack up the pushes and get it to jump forward 90 seconds. The touch area to activate jumping forward is way too small - I do not have big fingertips. Then if you jump too far forward and want to back up, the 10-seconds back arrow Is right next to the “X” which quits the page. Genius. So now half the time you want to back up 10 seconds you accidentally quit the whole playback because the “X” area is much larger and too close to that too tiny arrow. These arrows used to be prominent and centered near the bottom of the screen with the PLAY/PAUSE toggle between them. It was intuitive and easy to jump to and fro. Please please fix it. It is so frustrating to have your show stop and have to reload or push the PLAY button then try to jump 30 seconds again repeatedly thru commercials. So unnecessary when you had a great set up before. I wish I could use the old app. Sigh..Version: 20.3.30
✓ Wish I can go back to old appI just re-installed the new version of the app and already wish I can go back . If u wanna fast forward 30 seconds it lags (buffers) and only lets u do 30seconds and wait again to do another 30seconds . The old one u can click and fast forward as fast u want like 4min 30 sec all at once . Also doesn’t show u how much u already watched like the yellow bar shows the if u finished a quarter or half or whatever . It doesn’t ask u if u wanna resume or start over but just hit play . I hate it ! Wish I can go back to old version .... my tablet still has old version and my phone as new version . I’m gonna hang on to old version for as long as I can on my tablet . I dread using it on my phone now.Version: 20.2.20
✓ Transfer stall and won’t completeI have been using the DISH anywhere app for years on a kindle fire and really like it. I like to transfer recordings to watch when I’m offline (traveling). I got a new iPad and have nothing but problems. I can’t transfer any recordings to my iPad or iPhone, since the last app and iOS update. The transfers run and then stall. I contacted customer support only to be told it was a digital rights issue. However the same shows will transfer to a kindle fire. And the same series has transferred before. This started happening after the last app update and iOS update. Also the app constantly crashes. I open it and within seconds it closes or freezes. The only way to get it to work again is to uninstall and reinstall. That means I lose all my transferrred recordings, which can take hours to re-transfer. Please update this app to stop the crashes and make the transfers work..Version: 21.2.20
✓ Not so good anymore!!This started out as a great app. Worked smoothly with video and audio. For some reason it is constant rebuffing. Ever 3-4 seconds there is a hesitation. It is truly unwatchable. It drives me crazy. Watching while connected to WiFi is somewhat better. Not nearly as irritating! At this point is it useless unless I transfer my recording to my devices and watch them as a play back. But the big selling point was that the app was to bring you live broadcasting. Same as your guide provides you at home. I spend a lot of money monthly on my Dish service. The customer service has been great. But this app has become such a disappointment..Version: 7.15.6
✓ Ma zhitThis is ma shiiiiiit, fack directv.Version: 5.5.1
✓ Sorry I updatedUpdate: I just updated. And within 10 seconds I was relieved to see the changes. It is so much better!!! Not as glitchy. The back and forward buttons are in a better place on the screen and easier to jump around. Thank you for the changes. 5 months ago this app went to a new more modern format. Whatever Dish did, it completely ruined this app. It is extremely buggy. I have an iPhone 11. Constantly buffering, freezes, trying to go forward or back buttons don’t always work right. I would give it a -1 if I could. Please bring back the old version. You could easily navigate the guide. It was so much easier to navigate. Newer is not always better. I wish I had never updated..Version: 20.3.50
✓ So far so goodGood app..Version: 4.1.4
