Customer Tools

Before getting too excited about this app it should be noted that you need to be a Time Warner Cable TV video subscriber. The app is free for subscribers and can be used on your iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad, turning each of those mobile devices into a TV all its own.

It should also be noted that in order to use the app and watch On Demand and Live TV you will be streaming video through a wireless network.

So what can you do with this app? As described, you can watch content via Live TV or On Demand. Use the interactive program guide in order to find your favorite shows.

The guide gives you seven days' worth of programming information so you have advance notice of when your show airs. Access show details such as casting, photos, and show descriptions.

If you find you have a few channels you watch on a regular basis, you can set them as favorites in your program guide.

There are plenty of features here that are meant to make the app a personalized experience that works for you and your needs.

Where It Goes Wrong

With all these fabulous features and the ability to personalize the app, why are users so disappointed? It seems the majority of the reviews you find on this app are negative with a variety of issues including bugs, failure to load videos, and update issues.

There is such a wide variety of problems mentioned it comes as no surprise this app consistently gets a low rating.

It's unfortunate because the user interface is very attractive, easy to use, and simple to navigate. Finding shows is quick and easy and it's great that you can see so many details on the show and individual episodes. Of course if videos don't load and play correctly, the app clearly isn't very effective.

There has been a recent update to the app where bug issues were addressed and "performance enhancements" made but unfortunately many customers are still experiencing negative issues and continuing to rate it low.

Pros and Cons

Pros

• Easy to use
• Watch Live TV or On Demand programming
• View details on programs
• Control your TV from your mobile device
• Make use of the interactive TV guide

Cons

• Problems with the programming loading and playing

Final Thoughts

There is clearly a want and need for the TWC TV app; it just seems that the developer is failing to offer customers a package they are happy with. Hopefully in upcoming updates more issues will be addressed and the app can improve yet again. Until that point this one is hit and miss.
