DIRECTV customers may want to head to the Google Play Store to grab an update for the DIRECTV app for their devices. DIRECTV has released a new user interface for the app and the updated look is receiving generally positive reviews. However, it appears there may be some changes to what channels can be viewed on a mobile device which is resulting in some negative feedback.

Along with the change to the user interface, DIRECTV says the menu makes it easier to browse for content, a new TV shows section has been added, results can be filtered based on where you want to view your programming, users can set their favorite channels, a new info page is available, and a new watch button is available that combines all possible ways to watch a program into a single location.

You can check out some screenshots below and then use the download link to install or update the DIRECTV app.
