Fiber TV app good for
I dont understand the complaints, the descriptionof the app clearly states not all channels are able to be streamed. Google obviously doesnt have a streaming agreement with those networks to save cost.
App streams consitently and with good quality. If you keep losing connection then your wifi signal isnt good and you need to investigate further or completely close the app to purge any cache and relaunch. Ive had zero issues. It is much better than my previous providers app and Im no Google fanboy, but color me very impressed.
Great app. The only thing I hate is that not everything is streamable. I wish I could control the volume through the app and turn the tv off too.
App works great and performs as advertised. It does work away from home but on a limited number of channels.
Great Internet, good tech support, need to improve so I can watch every channel on my mobile devices.
We love the Google Fiber product. Internet is super fast, TV and programming is great too. The learning curve is easy and sensible. I cannot be more satisfied with the products and customer service. And now we are adding Google Fiber voice over phone service to the mix and are very excited to have a complete bundle (like the other cable companies offer) at a fraction of the price. So many great features and apps to enjoy!
No issues, works as well as I expect a google product to work
Some bad moments
If the rest of Google’s products worked as good as this app they would be out of business - period!
I have this app installed on a variety of iOS and Android devices and the results are the same. You might get three minutes of viewing before you get the dreaded “oops something went wrong.” You have to close out the app and restart it and then three minutes later it happens again.
Not a WiFi issue at all, I am forced to use the broadcast provider’s app if I want to watch something on a particular network. If you can get this app to work longer than a few minutes it will only work on one streaming device at a time, within your home.
I delete and reinstall this app from time to time to see if anything has changed...the answer is no. Don’t waste your time on this one.
We have 6 other iOS devices where this app works except for an iPad mini. For the record this app used to work on the device in question but has not done so recently. Tried to uninstall/reinstall the app, hard reset of the device, reset network settings, restore from back up, etc. The error message we get states to contact google customer service, and since they were no help, they actually stated to reach out to the app developer!!!
It’s really quite amazing how bad the search functionality is with this app (and Google Fiber itself).
Example: The Oscars are tonight. I’m not home and wanted to record the show. Dare I try on e again to use this worthless app to find a show and record it? Oh, why not? I’ve got 29 minutes to kill. I found 14 “The Oscars” titles, NONE OF WHICH had any “upcoming airtimes” that I could set to record. I finally used the guide and just kept advancing hours until I found it.
Why are there 14 “The Oscars” in the first place? Because Google wants you to know that there were Oscar ceremonies on TV in 1952 as well. Why does this matter? It doesn’t, but you still cannot find what you’re looking for and record it. What’s the point of a app like this? I dunno, ask every other cable provider. They seem to have their own issues, but finding a show that comes on TV six hours from now is not one of them.
Google is exceptional at finding things. How can it be this horrible at the only task you’d need from an app like this? Answer: it’s okay. you have the same issues when searching from the Google Fiber set-top box
Even channels we are supposed to be able to stream will crash repeatedly
All my devices work on my home wifi network, except this one. Buffers constantly. No app for macos is also a gap. Dont waste your time with this app.
Search feature on this app is absolutely horrible. No results returned for a high profile show that is airing today?! This is probably the fifth time in the past month I’ve searched for a program and received no results. The only way to locate was to scroll through the TV guide until I got to the show’s date/time. The usability of search is also greatly lacking (the only way to back out is to use the back arrow a million times??); however, this would be mostly forgiven if I could at least get the results I’m looking for.
