  • Good but needs so much more!

    By Nutella Bear (Pcmac user)

    This app has the potential for being a real value added perk for the app and my main wish is that Comcast invest the money in this app to bring it to full functionality. It needs to have all the functionality of the X1 Remote with a full set of tools to manage program guides and schedules. The app is about half way there and is screaming for greater investment. I would rather use something like this than any of the on-screen guides. One feature I would really like to have is the ability to construct my own channel lineup. Right now I have more than 300 channels but my actual viewing is typically a list of about 50 channels. I would like to have the ability to put together my own list of channels that displays only the channels I typically watch and be able to group and order the channels the way I want them displayed in a guide. This feature would be more important to me than the ability to "jump" in the channel listings. Jump is important now because there are so many channels I don't watch cluttering up my display. Update v3.7 — I hate the new way you mark Favorite channels. The old pull out tab was great. Now, with the star always showing, as I move through the listings I frequently end up unmarking the station as a favorite.
  • Crap

    By Firecaptainrich (Pcmac user)

    Just like all of Comcast / the app, this is garbage. Worst of all is the app customer service. HORRIBLE customer service. How about the constant glitches in my service. How about my set top boxes saying I'm not authorized to receive the service when I pay $200 a month. How about repair technicians who don't show up, which had happened to me 5 different times after waiting all day. How about the cable line that is running through my yard for 2 months now and the guy who buries the line hasn't showed up yet. I could go on and on because I'm only scratching the surface. the app is garbage not worthy of garbage and so are their employees. Beware if you think of signing up for this service or leaving your current provider. Here’s an updated review since my last review above. Since I have switched to the X1 service (2 years ago) I’ve had much better luck with my service. I haven’t had to call customer service, even though the app customer service is still rated at the bottom of the barrel. The WiFi is very fast too. The this app app WAS really good, right up until you can no longer record your programs away from home. WHY WHY WHY would you get rid of that feature???
  • Downloaded because xr11 remote doesn’t work

    By Gloriami1 (Pcmac user)

    Months of probs with remote, lots of days on end w/o tv and outages, and a phone customer service call more often than not takes 45 min . A few times it took much longer. This app does not allow you to adjust volume. This app allows me to turn tv on and off, and change channels, good, since the remote does not even turn off tv. I pay extra each month so that I don’t have to drive 18 miles to my local the app store. Last time I did that the wait was abt 15 minutes. Additional costs for Comcast $5.00 gas to drive to the app store and back. Time involved with this. This remote: $7.99 for 8 pack of Duracell batteries; batteries life this time was less than 2 weeks, so batteries cost for 1 month was $4.00. I tried using cheap Chinese batteries but they were too weak to work the remote. Batteries are purchased on regular grocery store shopping days. I see that Comcast products are not reliable. They have, in my opinion, a third world attitude; there is no pride in excellence. The allegiance of this company is ONLY to the family of the managers of Comcast/the app. By the way, the most common reason that a company changes name is to avoid liability.
  • Average, could be way better

    By BadBrain13 (Pcmac user)

    My physical the app remote broke and Comcast customer service wanted to charge me to have a new one sent out, or drive 30 min (one way) in the rain, then stand in line, just to get a replacement. For what I pay each month I expected better help but shame on me. So now I have to use the the app app to navigate my comcast cable. It’s not too bad but has the potential to be much, much better. I finally realized after a few months of use that tapping the microphone icon within the remote app also brings up the arrow navigation and keypad, and that makes my life so much easier. It’s not very intuitive but at least the functionality exists. I would love a way to go to a channel directly from the guide, instead of going to a page description first. Also it is too easy to click/unclick the “favorites” stars on the guide page. Hopefully the app will get better over time. It serves its purpose for me until I dump the app for charging too much, frequent outages and providing total crap for customer service.
