    Given it's an android box, I'm mildly surprised they are even doing an iPhone app (slightly tongue in cheek - I appreciate that there are too many iOS users out there to ignore!)

    Woah. I always forget Android is a google thing. For me google is high quality but my android devices say otherwise. Well, fingers crossed then otherwise might have to get an old android phone out the cupboard as have a spare one I haven’t given away yet.

    You might have a problem if phone is to old.....app needs android version 6.0 or later

    App downloaded installed fine (after the initial difficulty finding it, might be good to label it 'Humax Aura'), and it linked to my Aura fine. 'On Now' works once it has loaded, and I can see all of my recorded content, but the TV Guide doesn't populate (this is several hours after installing the app).

    Running on an Android 8 device.

    Can anyone confirm if it will be available for iOS?

    Mine populated in around 2 mins. Both my devices are running Android 10.

    When my phone is on the same wifi as the Aura all 5 options are there and appear quickly. The 'TV Guide' correctly shows the programs I have set to record.

    The 'View Live' option on 'TV Guide', the 'play' button on both 'On Now' and 'Recordings' all work as expected.

    When not on wifi 'On Now' and 'Recordings' are greyed out as is the option to 'Watch Live' in the 'TV Guide'.

    Presumably this stops viewing of copyrighted material away from home. You can still set a program to record.

    So far, so good.

    Wish list: Filter the 'TV Guide' and 'On Now' for HD only, as on the unit itself.

    Now for the firmware upgrade!

    You can download recordings to view away from home. Have been able to for a long time. The app makes it much simpler

    Still no TV guide after a phone reset and an Aura reset. I get the week days ahead laid out along the top, and even the little yellow 'current time' band, but no channels listed and no programme information.

    In settings apps. Try deleting the Aura app cache. If that does not work delete the data.

    Samsung S7, Android 8.
    Installed ok.... once I found it (had to use the https:\\ url above).
    Needed to look at "on now" before the TV guide would populate.
    Picked and set a program to record later, can see programs we have recorded.
    I'll test it tomorrow away from our house wifi.
    So far so good.

    Now, about the firmware update ....
