Ratings and reviews

Many of the expected wifi tools are there, and functional, but the device usage tracking (and related scheduling control) is minimal, and seems to be inaccurate by as much as an hour when compared against individual device logs. When I find such a discrepancy, and wish to re-allow a device's access manually, I'm forced to disallow access manually, rather than set an amount of time to grant access (very all-or-nothing at that point)

You forced me to download this app by telling me I needed it in the browser to set up port forwarding. Your app doesn't let me use port forwarding. I wish I could give you negative stars for wasting my time. If you're having the same problem and you have a separate wifi router, I fixed it by turning on bridge mode. And I didn't do it in the app. I did it at 192.168.0.1

This app worked fine to manage my wifi setup through my phone, until it suddenly had an error message saying that I needed to install the latest version of the app. When it redirects me to the Play Store to install the newer version, it tells me that my device is no longer compatible with this version. I checked all the compatibility requirements and my phone meets or exceeds them all, so now I can't use it. I've tried restarting my phone, I've uninstalled the Cox Wifi app, no change.
