Latest reviews of XFINITY TV Remote app for iPhone and iPad
This app was a nice tool to use schedule shows. The latest update has rendered it practically useless.
version 3 is a step backwards overall for one reason - there is no longer a channel history. version 2 had a list of 5 most recent. while I often wished for more, at least it was better than the none in version 3 . . . yes, the new filters add marginal value, but Id gladly trade them for the last channel list
Unable to play recordings from all devices via the app
Used to be a great app until the latest update. The app is very limited for me now, can no longer change channels, on demand selections do nothing but the search works. LoL. PLEASE FIX THIS!
this is a one function remote only. why not having a reminder for upcoming shows. why is there no more a "previous channel" lookup. extremely slow. still crashes occasionally. very disapointing.
