Log-in/Authentication nightmare
I still love this app, however the one thing I really like about the app has gotten worse. It constantly ask for you to log in. And what is worse, if you have no WiFi or internet connection, you are out of luck. I mainly use my app to store TV shows I have recorded so I can watch them when/wherever I want. Now if I can’t get internet or WIFi, I can’t even get INTO the app to watch what I have stored!! Log in should use have a memory so you could have the ability to check if you would like the phone to remember it. It should also be using the face recognition so you don’t have to constantly type it in...AND it should only require you to”authenticate” your service one a billing cycle instead of every time you open the app!!! Also, developers might want to rethink where to place the ↪️▶️↩️ buttons on the bottom of the iPhone’s that don’t have a Home button. It makes for a clunky experience. It could easily be fixed by moving them to anywhere else, instead of where the digital home button resides. Please work these items out so I can give it the 5 stars it truly deserves!!!

Great App!
The Dish Anywhere feature is great! I love being able to watch transferred programming when not connected. I do have 2 issues, tho. When I am watching transferred content and am not connected to internet, I keep getting a pop up telling me I’m not connected, even in airplane mode. Very frustrating to have to constantly be clearing that from the screen. Second, when I watch Dish Anywhere on my Mac Mini, I’m now getting a pop up that is telling me that the app will not work with future versions of macOS and needs to be updated to improve compatibility. Is there anything on the horizon to address this issue?

Can’t use HDMI ** Fixed **
I travel a lot and this app was 5 stars for me because I could watch my shows wherever I was. I would hook up my HDMI adapter and hook it to the Hotel TV and it was just like watching my shows at home. Unfortunately, for whatever reason they have decided to disable that functionality. Since my eyesight is poor it just isn’t feasible for me to watch shows on the iPhone. So my rating is now 1 star. Outstanding way to improve your app... NOT! Received an email from the developer notifying me that they fixed this issue with the latest update. I’m a happy traveler again! Five stars!
