MyOutdoorTV: Hunt, Fish, Shoot Reviews

by X8lopez8x

They are super slow to upload new content months after new episodes are on tv. I mainly got this to view offline content every download will not play. With no connection it just says label. Once I have a connection all the text that says label changes to the downloaded episode. Update - emailed support as they asked. No reply tried to download shows today. They download but as soon as my iPad is in airplane mode the icon changes from the show to just the word label again. Letting my subscription expire the whole point of having MyOutdoorTV was to download and be able to watch them in airplane mode on flights.

I was an early adopter of MyOutdoorTV and their subscription. I’ve been holding onto hopes that it would get better for years now. It has improved, but slowly and not remotely up to date with what a user should experience in an any app.

UI is clunky, glitchy, and sometimes things just plain don’t work. The exit “X” might not be there and you may be stuck in a show. You may download content the day of your flight, and then once in airplane mode, you’ll be unable to view it with an error message saying you haven’t logged in in 30 days so they need to verify via logging in. I travel constantly and would estimate that this happens 75% of the time.

For a long time I thought it was my older phone causing the issues but after upgrading realized it’s simply a bad app that if it wasn’t for the incredible content I would’ve ditched it long ago.

I’m sure the individuals behind it are great at their jobs and nothing against them, however I would strongly suggest re-allocating the phenomenal amount of money spent in marketing this service to developing an easily usable, reliable, and proper app that serves the customers you already have.

I have cancelled my subscription, today.

The newest update has made it so I can’t even open MyOutdoorTV on my fire stick. Thanks guys. It was bad enough that a few months ago I couldn’t search for any shows or scroll through without MyOutdoorTV kicking me back to the main menu. Great if you want to watch on your phone. Terrible if you want to watch on a tv. But hey, they got my non-refundable $99 for the year so what do they care? I’d renew if they’d fire their developers and actually hire someone who knew what they were doing. The concept and show selection are great; the people running the tech are atrocious. Don’t waste your money. Get the Mossy Oak GO app and watch shorter clips workout the frustration.

When I pay for an App, I expect more.

I have a Login and Pay my $10 a month, but instead of offering a large Login button from the beginning it asks me to sign up, all a while remembering my Login info. Second, it doesn’t maintain my favorites, and I have to look for them in the menu every time, this should be located at or near the top. Finally, I downloaded shows to watch offline, but they won’t play(I get sound but the screen goes black and unresponsive, and end up having to close out the application.)

They need to completely overhaul their application in a format that not only is easier for subscribers to use, but makes it worth subscribing to begin with.

I have been wanting to get MyOutdoorTV for about 9 months now but still haven’t pulled the trigger. I have read a bunch of the reviews and it doesn’t seem like MyOutdoorTV experience has gotten much better. With all the issues they seem to be having, there is no way I am going to pay $10 a month. They might have $10 a month worth of content, but with everything I am hearing, it doesn’t seem worth it. If they took responsibility for their failures and didn’t put the burden on the customers then I would gladly sign up (ie: lowering the cost until they put out a quality product, or reimbursement to their customers). Either way, I am an eager future customer waiting for a quality product to support.

Love watching my fishing shows when it works. But MyOutdoorTV is not smooth and today it’s asking me to re verify my membership - and it won’t play. Yet it still manages to very efficiently bill me.

The content is great. MyOutdoorTV and web site really need some polishing to work right. Very frustrated with it today.

**Update 5/7 - I spoke with the rep at the company and they efficiently resolved my billing issue with iTunes and the web site. MyOutdoorTV is working much better now. I need to learn how to use all of its features, in particular the favorites part. I wish it tracked what I’ve already watched much better. At this point I still think it’s not as slick as it could be but I love the content and I would give it a 4 star now that they did a good job of fixing my issue.

Love the shows and quantity but the performance of MyOutdoorTV and even the website is terrible. MyOutdoorTV feels cheap and not up to the standards of even basic apps these days. MyOutdoorTV crashes constantly. Using with chromecast requires constantly disconnecting and reconnecting to watch the next episode. I also cannot chromecast downloaded episodes to avoid buffering or crashes. MyOutdoorTV should easily be able to let you continue watching from where you left off. Not only does it not show you where you left off but it defaults to the most recent season. Why wouldn’t your watchlist and favorites be the first thing you see? Instead it is the networks shows they are pushing. I shouldn’t have to navigate through multiple menus every time I want to watch a show. The website also seems to almost slow to a halt during peak hours which means for all those $10 fee’s they aren’t using enough servers. The website also consistently crashes or has a network error despite my internet working fine. For this type of monthly fee MyOutdoorTV and website should be flawless. I really expected much more for the premium price.

I never review anything, but I’m tired of putting up with the issues. I have an iPhone 7plus with 11.2.6 update. First, why is the Sign In button so small and out of the way, but the Create an Account so large and centered? Once I sign up, I feel second class. For $10/month! Second, why is My Favorites hidden in the menus, and why does it always auto populate with shows I haven’t watched or favorited? It should be more prominent on the main screen and actually do its job of saving my couple favorites. Third, every time I try to read an episode description, the screen jumps down and I have to try and find the description again. Fourth, the screen NEVER rotates once I play. I use the physical volume buttons on TOP, because when i try to use the screen volume, the screen darkens out and I miss the part I’m trying to listen to. I have to hold my phone in the orientation I want it to play just to get the screen rotation I want. For $10 a month, I expect much better than this! The content is good, but the player is broken!

I mean great app for all hunting shows! I have been looking for something so I can watch my hunting shows on the go! MyOutdoorTV needs a lot of improvement! I think the price point needs to be lowered for the problems MyOutdoorTV has! It is a good app! The thing I hate about it the most it does not save my point in the show, where I exited out of MyOutdoorTV ! Then when I go back into MyOutdoorTV ! I have to find the show I was just watching, then I have to find my exact spot I was at in the show! I really don’t like having to do that every time!! Please fix! Lower the price till MyOutdoorTV gets fixed! I mean Netflix has way more shows and charging 2 bucks cheaper! I mean come on guys, not really everyone is going to pay for an app that is no where close to top of the line! Also still deal with 10 minutes of sponsorships! So if this stuff don’t get fixed you will loose a customer!

I give this four stars solely for the fact it is getting very hard to find outdoorsman content. So MyOutdoorTV and subscription really feeds the itch. The performance of MyOutdoorTV and website leave a lot to be desired - almost as if it was in beta. Recommend you poll all of us users to figure out how to make things better. With better performance, you’ll most likely attract more users.

MyOutdoorTV has a lot of good content and has worked fine for me. The only improvements would be that it needs the 10 sec fast forward / rewind buttons. It’s difficult to skip ahead or go back accurately with the current method. Also I wish MyOutdoorTV would recall where you left off in an episode. If you close MyOutdoorTV , you must find and reselect the program / episode and try to scroll back to the point that you stopped watching. Which brings us back to the first issue. Overall MyOutdoorTV works pretty well.

I love the idea of MyOutdoorTV and it has gotten much better than when I first bought it. MyOutdoorTV was buggy before, but maybe it was my first edition smart tv. I’ve upgraded since, and it has been much better. I am staying subscribed out of commitment to the idea for hunters everywhere to have a community. Streaming cable elsewhere doesn’t provide much of a resource for hunting and the outdoors. App developers, if the category section actually provided shows under the different hunting styles, that would be great. It is there, and the playlists are a good idea, but the number of shows in the playlists aren’t updated nor are there many shows under some. If you could search by show, that might help.

Looking for some help on my Apple TV. Will not let me watch shows without going to “Start your Free Trial” screen. I have had MyOutdoorTV for awhile and enjoy it. Money has been withdrawn for September. Please help resolve this issue. Hard to pay for something you can’t use. I have logged out and logged back in as well with the same result. I have sent multiple emails as well.

Thank you

I downloaded this the other day to watch deer week and get pumped up for deer season, but I didn’t realize how much content is there. I would give this 5 stars but the only bad thing I’ve discovered so far is the searching. When you search for a show you should include a picture of the show if you understand what I’m saying. Anyways great hunting show app, and if you like shooting fishing and other outdoor activities it’s great

by Blue7golf

MyOutdoorTV like most has room for improvement but is an amazing advancement for hunters to be able to have a Netflix type app for hunting shows. Red Arrow is by far my favorite show!
Thank you very much to the developers of MyOutdoorTV! This is the first app I've ever had where the developer has responded to me more than once on my reviews.
I had a issue when subscribing and the developer responded with a solution. I contacted customer service and received prompt and professional help. I asked about an Apple TV app and received a prompt response that it's coming.
Well worth the subscription fee! Strong work guys, keep it up!

I originally downloaded MyOutdoorTV about a year ago in 2017 and it was still very new reguardless of how long ago it came out it had a ways to go I tried using it and it never worked..a year later I downloaded MyOutdoorTV and tried once more and it evolved, the only bad thing was if you clicked out of MyOutdoorTV to respond to a text or something of the sort it would make you re log back in. Now to this date November 12th 2018 they have corrected that issue and it is a dream watching tv series and tv shows right from my phone. Wish it was a little cheaper monthly but it’s still pretty nice.

Since I was a kid I’ve watched Bill Dance Outdoors and when I got married and moved out the first season of Major League Fishing aired and I have watched it ever since. I used to subscribe to satellite tv and quickly got tired of my bill jumping around so I did what everybody is doing, cancelled it and I started subscribing to all the streaming services and I’m still saving $75/mo on average. I have absolutely been loving this app app. Fishing hunting all in one place doesn’t get any better!

Okay I was very skeptical Bc of all the bad reviews on here, but I did it anyway and honestly I have absolutely no idea what everyone is talking about! MyOutdoorTV and subscription is absolutely amazing, I have it on my iPhone XR, firestick, my Samsung tab a and also my tiki and Xbox and I have no problems WHAT SO EVER! No buffering issue quality is HD within seconds of the shows starting on all platforms, I sit and watch bass fishing shows for hours! Hands down one of the best Subscriptions I have ever bought, I have not experienced any of the problems that everyone has been talking about, no crashing and buffering quality is always amazing! If you love hunting fishing and everything definitely give this a try worth every penny, don’t go based solely on what everyone else is saying!! Great job guys!! A++ in my book!!!

Earlier - MyOutdoorTV has been updated but there is still no ability to watch downloaded videos in MyOutdoorTV . It works fine to watch content online but downloaded videos cannot be played.
Today - the latest update finally fixed whatever was stopping me from watching downloaded videos on my iPad when offline! I enjoy MyOutdoorTV a lot when I’m online. Now I can take episodes with me to watch on my iPad’s larger screen!

I have been using MyOutdoorTV for 2 years. I love it. At first I wasn’t liking how MyOutdoorTV was managed as far as subscription and how MyOutdoorTV layout was. But it’s been progressing and it’s gotten ALOT better than 2 years ago. I watch all my hunting shows on MyOutdoorTV. I’d rather pay $10/mo than $150 for cable just to get the outdoor channel. $10 is better! App is improving on where to watch. Now I’m waiting for it to release on PS4 so I can watch it on my ps4 to relax and chill instead of my Xbox and phone 💜

I signed up for the free trial thru iTunes, and I couldn’t not gain access to the content, it kept sending me to the sign up screen. When I contacted customer support, they just passed the buck, saying it’s iTunes platform problem, after reading other reviews, I feel this is their platform problem that’s been going on for years. At $10 a month you would think you would have better service, boy I was wrong. They wanted me to uninstall they reinstall, all this for a free trial, don’t get me wrong Pigman and Meateater are great shows, but not worth this headache. Guess I’ll stick to watching meateater on Netflix.

Cobalt Phoenix had a spot on review. The content is great but MyOutdoorTV has never performed correctly. Now when I try to download a show it gets to completion and crashes and never downloads. That just one of the many issues with trying to watch videos, not to mention the numerous user friendly issues that should be addressed. I’ve been a paid subscriber for 2+ years. You’d think by now that the major bugs would have been worked out. I’m and IOS user with a 6+.

Love the idea of MyOutdoorTV . Actually was pretty excited to use it. I’m doing the 7 day free trial and had thoughts of keeping it permanently, but MyOutdoorTV freezes a lot on the iPhone. Also while using the chrome cast future. I have to close app down and reopen it just to watch next show.

by RWR1234

Great content but the player doesn’t have a built in 10 or 15 sec rewind, so if you’re watching a How To and want to see something again it’s not as easy as other video apps to go back a small amount. That’s why I’m giving less than 5 stars. Should be an easy programming fix, so I’ll up it to 5 when that’s fixed.
