Recent reviews

A major failing is that this app does not rotate to landscape mode on a phone. Apparently this is an intentional design decision, but it is a bad one. The app shows the scheduled programs, but the names of those programs are often cut off in portrait mode because the screen is too narrow. Rotating to landscape mode would reduce the number of channels visible at a time, but would allow the full name of the next scheduled program to be visible. Landscape mode works just fine on a tablet.

Edit: Simply trying to sign in to use a remote is also a hastle. If your using this on a tablet without a sim you NEED a second device to get into this app because it sends a verification code either via text which if your tablet doesn't have a sim you need to rely on email but you need to leave the app to see the code which closes the verification menu so when you go to enter the code it registers as invalid causing you to get stuck in the never ending loop of trying to get a valid code..

Some of the complaints ridiculous. This isn't a programmable universal remote that's suppose to control all of your devices. It's strictly to change channels of your Xfinity X1 device. It has voice control and all the rest of the buttons that you would use to control your X1 device. It would be nice to have an option that would make it easier to change which X1 device you want to use. Sometimes channels changing is delayed. But it's overall a decent app to use on my tablet.
