## Review summary

Cogeco Epico's Android app is plagued by stability and compatibility issues (crashes, buffering, errors) and is limited for away-from-home viewing. Device support is weak for Android TV/Chromecast/Fire TV. Some users find DVR access on mobile and casting to TV workable, but these positives are outweighed by UX problems, long load times, and unreliable sports streaming. Overall, it feels like a step forward for Cogeco in some reviews but far from ready for prime time.

### Pros

- Ability to record shows and watch DVR content on mobile.
- App is functional on Cogeco-supplied boxes and Android phones for some users.
- Casting from mobile to a TV works well when the device supports it.

### Cons

- Cannot watch content outside the home; away-from-home streaming is limited or unavailable.
- Poor device compatibility: not officially supported on Android TV, Chromecast, Google TV, or Fire TV devices.
- frequent crashes, buffering, timeouts, and error codes; overall unstable performance.
- User interface and remote controls are laggy and cumbersome, with slow load times and video restarting when leaving the app.
- Sports streaming reliability is inconsistent, with certain channels not functioning well.
