Ratings and reviews

Big downside - can't view local channels using mobile data (which is weird, because this didn't used to be an issue). Currently, when I try to view local channels on the app, it keeps giving me a message to please sign into wifi, due to "geographic constraints." I am not traveling, but in my own home, and would be happy to connect to our wifi, except for the part where The Power Is Out. This was not an issue the last time there was a power outage - please fix this.

Zumo is a nightmare. Spectrum forces you to use it, yet it is frought with problems. Such as periodic sound lapses in shows and recordings, shows that don't record though set, notices that tell you you don't get a channel yet you do based on your subscription, recordings that just stop and won't play, three rotating dots and no picture and just a black screen when you turn it on with no explanation. Spectrum does Zero to fix it.

The reason for three stars is the inability to scroll through without accidentally pressing an unwanted input. The touch sensor is extremely sensitive so it's almost impossible to search each channel without it changing by accident. Otherwise it's a decent app. JM2C
