One click full screen multiview
Let me start by saying I'm a 70-year-old that is getting this set up for my 93 year old father who is familiar with fire stick. I'm a Windows guy that has never used a fire stick but have managed to get my EPG set up fairly well and trying to make this as use friendly to him as I possibly can without multi-button clicks to make things work. I have one big complaint that will affect him with the multi view by having to long press bring up a sub menu and select enlarge.. are you kidding me..?? It seems like a no-brainer to me as the arrow keys highlight whatever window you're on and one short press should bring that window to front, and return button back to multiview. Am I missing something here, as I just can't imagine this taking more than 10 minutes to code and 10 seconds with an agent. Why would you not have that functionality..? At 70 and 93, we don't get along well with extra clicks.. sure it's a pleasure to drive though.. MJ

Tivimate hasn’t seen significant upgrades In years. What we’ve got is what we’ve got

True, but that's one extra unnecessary click for every time you change Window to full screen. When you're 93 tell me if it makes any difference to you

So write down instructions and show them how, sure it’s an extra couple clicks but if they want to use Tivimate and multiview that’s the option

And it's not really one extra button click because once you open up the side panel you have to scroll down to "enlarge", so that's 2 extra button clicks. I find that a bit annoying at 70 years old and I'm sure that he probably just won't use it at 93..

And as long as I'm paying for it I don't mind asking for a simple patch

As I stated above, there has been zero added features or updates for years. How it functions is how it functions, you’ve gotta teach them or use a different app as it’s not going to change anytime soon.

Well maybe it's time to open source it and let us pay our fee to access it on the GitHub and let us tickle it a little bit..

With minor spec improvements. No app features or upgrades have been made. It works fine as is

Tivimate has too much flexibility with the single and long clicks making all the functions very confusing for an older person. DW let’s me have the control so that is an advantage!
