AppleTV 4 tvOS12

[Anonymous User]

With the new tvOS12 coming out and available for beta testing has this been done on your app?

As this crashes and won’t load any time I try.

Please see previous posts with no answer about an update to the app that is much needed.

Concerning that we move ever closer to tvOS 12 coming out and yet Now TV remain silent. There are many users of this app, you can't just let it die.

hanks for getting in touch, i’m pleased to hear you’re enjoying NOW TV and really appreciate your feedback in relation to the NOW TV App on Apple TV devices.

I have shared this directly with our technical team working on the development of our App on this device.  

 You will be pleased to hear they’re currently busy upgrading our App for Apple TV including your 4^th generation model. NOW TV aims for it to be ready in the coming months, and will have it live as soon as we can, I 'm afriad we can't give an exact date at this moment in time.

 Many thanks again for your feedback,  we love hearing ways in which we can improve the NOW TV experience for our customers.

Thanks,

Karl

Wow, I'm pinching myself. Have NowTV just publicly acknowledged that a new NowTV app is coming for the Apple TV?! If this is true, I may consider subscribing again. Thanks @Karl-F!

Hi @Karl-F,

Thanks for the reply,

Will it be ready before tvOS12 is released as it currently doesn’t work so really needs to be, and could be tested on the beta to help iron out any issues on a brand new app,

Could you please add me to the TestFlight build which I’ll be more than happy to provide feedback on,

Thanks

Alex

Glad to hear the app will be updated. Will it work with the Apple TV app for up next & universal search?

Up next would actually be a god send... ! I'd actually turn on my AppleTv if so.. rather than using it through my LG WebOs nativly..

Anymore news on updating the app for Apple TV? Seems a long time since the news they were working on it (Yawn ...)

Also can someone tell me why the app on iPad (and PS4)  is good and on Apple TV it’s 💩 even on the latest Apple TV model. Which really surprised me as I have a 3 Gen model.

What is going on. Apple arc 4K box and 2nd gen not syncing what I’ve watched or a watched list. 

Ive wasted time  scrolling though episode after episode to find my location and episode. 

Then when it comes to an end of the episode it doesn’t  automatically start another one. Something seems a Mia and not running smooth like other tv apps

Really pleased to hear this news. I find the picture quality via the Apple TV the pick of the bunch having used the LG TV app, Smart Stick and Roku box version.

As others have said, the app is beyond poor in it's current state and borderline offensive when you compare it to the iOS version! 

Integration with the TV app/Siri would be an excellent bonus as well.

I don't run the beta tvOS but have a 4K and a 4th generation version running 11.4.1 and will happily contribute to testing if needed.

Likewise, will be happy to test this for NOW TV if/when there is a trial @Karl-F

[nickmorc]

Would love to do some Beta testing on this. 

Some very positive news from Now Tv, might be now worth carrying on with my subs when it ends in October.

[Boycey]

I'd also like to throw my hat in the ring for some beta testing. I've paid up to Now TV until November and was going to cancel but if a better Apple TV app that's integrated with the TV app and Up Next is on the cards I will definitely continue subscribing. 

Now Tv has great content, its just a really frustrating app on Apple TV, expecially when there is so much other great content on the terrestrial apps & Amazon, all working with the TV app.

The thought of a new NowTV app for Apple TV is great news. I have an Apple TV 4K and would also be more than happy to do some beta testing

[Wentey]

Yep me too very happy to be a beta tester I have 2 AT4 1 ATV4K and 1 ATV3

NowTV works fine for me using TtvOS 12 Beta on my AppleTV 4K, but Sky Living is very temprimental when it comes to watching it after another channel.
