Xfinity Stream

I absolutely love Xfinity app. I can play it on my iPad. I can take a bath watching TV. I can take it in my room and not bother my husband and continue to watch my show either on my phone or my iPad. Xfinity always comes in. I never have an issue with it not on my television in my living room or my bedroom or my app or my phone. I just absolutely love Xfinity. No, there is an issue. Their pricing is stupid ridiculous and I’m almost getting ready to the point to shut them off however, let’s just say right now they’re doing great. Until they change their prices or I can get a whole TV with every app on it and half of them are free. Looks like I might be doing that unless they changed their wazes I didn’t realize one day I would be paying for television or paying for water. Yes, I’m vintage 1977 but what I am gonna say is the governor bodies over Sacramento said we would never ever pay for water. Why are we paying for water and why are we paying for cable television for the luxury? That’s great I am so glad there’s free ads and TVs like Roku, which I can get those on every television and my iPad as well but Xfinity does pretty good why I still have it thanks guys.

Please allow the app to play in the background as well as in lock screen mode. There are times I want to sleep to a TV but get blinded with the light that comes off it. With my iPad or iPhone I could listen to TV without that annoying bright screen in my face. Sadly you have to leave your device turned on to listen to the program. When you turn your device off during a program, you only get a few seconds before the app mutes itself. This could be a bad thing because if you leave your device turned on It can make it hot or run down the battery. T The ability to run the app in the background or in the lock screen (without video playing) would make it easier do use at night while trying to sleep. Plus if you're blind you can't see the video anyways. So to be able to have the video switched to sound only would make a huge difference for those who want sound only while using the app. I definitely love that Xfinity went the extra mile to make the app voiceover accessible for those who are blind. As well as contrasting colors for those who are visually impaired. However, I would like to see the app be compatible for those who have large print enable on their devices. Otherwise I love the app but it could definitely use some tweaking.

I used to absolutely love this app. I prefer to watch my recording on my kindle fire and I’ve also moved from where the actual recording box is which means that the app is also the only way for me to watch them at all so this was always super convenient. Unfortunately a couple of months ago the app updated and got rid of my ability to watch my recorded shows on all my kindle fire devices as well as my iPad. I’ve called and called and called Xfinity and they say they’ve “tried” to fix it and even say that they will call me back to confirm it’s been fixed but of course they never do. Honestly, they don’t even understand what the issue is. They think I just can’t watch my recordings because of an error but the issue is that I don’t have the recording box option on the app at all. When you open “My Library” there is supposed to be an option for “Recordings” and “Scheduled,” I don’t have either, I only have “My Lists,” “My Downloads,” and “My Purchases.” I’ve seen that others have also had this issue, some for even a year now, and I’m hoping that Xfinity will see my review and get their butts in gear and finally do something about it than just claiming to and blaming the issue on my devices. And yes, I’ve tried deleting the app, signing out of the app, restarting my devices, having the app troubleshooted, everything. Will consider updating and changing my rating and review when they finally fix this issue because as of right now, I have no access whatsoever to any of my recordings.
