This is the worst app ever. It will turn off wifi connection, not just for 1 app, or some apps, 1 location, or some locations, but for good on your cell phone. And will NOT turn wifi connection back, so you will be using your cell data connection, even in locations that has wifi and you already provided log in info and was able to use wifi. So you will use up a huge amount of your data plan, unknowingly. And this "app" can't be uninstalled. It is a shame for Xfinity! Rating should be -10.

Update App has been updated and does not hijack mobile data. The function to automatically connect to Xfinity wifi is disabled. (Which makes the app essentially useless since that is its purpose). It has not yet asked for permission to turn off wifi. Turned auto update back on. Fingers crossed. This app turns off wifi and does not turn it back on as advertised. Cost me 4 GB of data. I am filing a complaint with the FCC since this seems to be pervasive and has not been addressed by Comcast.

This app really sucks. It is installed by default and cannot be uninstalled. Just within the last few weeks it started automatically turning off my wifi whenever I would leave a network. The problem is that it doesn't ever turn it back on! So I end up blowing through a ton of data if I don't catch it. I think Xfinity is doing this on purpose to pump up data charges. If it continues, Xfinity is going to lose this customer.
