WHAT YOU NEED TO USE THIS APP
- Available programming is based on your Spectrum TV subscription package. Downloads of movies and TV shows are currently available only with a subscription to Showtime, Starz, Encore or MoviePlex.
- In-home viewing requires a Select, Silver or Gold Spectrum TV subscription and a Charter-provided home WiFi network with a minimum connection speed of 1 Mbps.
- Downloading requires a WiFi connection, but you can watch live and On Demand programming outside your home over a cellular network (data charges from your carrier may apply).
- Scheduling a DVR recording in the app requires a Motorola digital receiver, which is only available in some markets.
- To use personalized features of the app, such as Watchlist, Downloads and Favorites, you’ll have to sign in with your Charter-provided email address. If you don’t have a Charter email address, you can create one at our support page.
- Device requirements: iPhone, iPad or iPod touch running iOS 8 or above.
NICKNAMING YOUR DIGITAL RECEIVERS
If you have multiple digital receivers, giving them nicknames will help you know which one you’re scheduling recordings on (go to Settings > Devices > TV Nicknames). To know which TV you’re naming, stand in front of the TV and tap “Check This TV” until a message displays on the TV.

NOTE ON AVAILABILITY
We make every effort to offer the same live and On Demand programming that you can watch on your TV, and we frequently add new channels. However, programming restrictions keep us from making every single channel available within the Spectrum TV app. Channel availability also varies by market.
Latest reviews of Spectrum TV app for iPhone and iPad
Wish there was a zero star option...I've done ALL of the trouble shooting tips on here to no avail. This app on Roku is the main reason we have kept Charter rather than switching to DirecTv, but the fact that we can't watch it without ANY channel stopping to load every 30 seconds to minute, we are calling them tomorrow. What's even more sad is that this app has had the same issue since it's inception all while Spectrum's customer service and developers seem as if they could care less.
This app is terrible. It freezes, won’t load...requires constant refresh. It’s the absolute worst. I’m seriously considering other TV service options. Wish I could give it less than one star. I’ve spent the last half hour trying to get the app to work. Even reloaded it and still I receive an error message. For one of the largest cable companies you would think they would have better technology. When competition is low, so is the service.
This app never works. I never had this problem with Brighthouse.
TWC app worked great until it switched to Spectrum. Now it won't load. I am deleting this app since it doesn't work. I'd give it a 0 rating
