Awful
Hate losing my remote and having to use this. It is extremely slow and there’s no volume button.
Stopped working
The app stopped working for me. When I try to enter my username and password it keeps redirecting me to the login page to start over.
Support? 🤖🤣 Reliability, accuracy, service: 👎🏽
Support? Screens&screens worth of interminably robotic ineffectual irrelevant links. Channel change requests may fail; channel content descriptions may be blank or inaccurate. One may hope your *manual* remote continues to work! Xfinity ROI? 🤮(Remember: any human agent with whom you deal is bound and sworn to offer you a deal on something or other. DO NOT ACCEPT! It just encourages them. 💸)
Handy in a pinch
It will change the channels and provides a channel listing, which is nice. But, like others have said, there are very basic features that it lacks. Just like anything having to do with Xfinity, it will frustrate you. No volume, no on/off button and since there’s no volume button, why not allow us to turn on closed captions? That aint there either. The only reason I downloaded this app is because my remote stopped working and so this is getting me through until the new one arrives.
No shut down or turn tv off
No wonder your developer are stinking since it was 1.9 and I’m looking for turn tv off or shut down while I can’t find the xfinity remote so I can use my iPhone that it has xfinity remote app. But I can’t find it and frustrated with xfinity remote app are stinking… so your developer need to be improving on xfinity remote app….. that’s why I give you one ⭐️
Add an ON/OFF BUTTON
My Samsung TV turns itself on occasionally at any hour of the day. I returned from a trip and my TV. was ON!!! I am on a trip and neighbor contacted me by text that my TV has been on for several days!!! I have disconnected power to my appliances before a trip and I must have missed switching TV power OFF. I tried to turn my TV OFF remotely using Voice command and hope my TV is OFF when I return.
Last resort
It doesn’t allow you to watch what you already pay for. It’s basic and definitely a last resort.
Now it's even easier to see what you can watch in the future. We've fixed a bug with our latest version so you can select future dates and times of TV listings.
