Ratings and reviews

I've used this app for some time and have generally had no issues. However the reason for my low rating is because of a problem streaming from my wifi. At the end of an advertisement, streaming freezes. I have to then restart streaming by tapping the play/pause button several times. Once the next ad ends, streaming freezes again, so on and so forth through all ads. It makes trying to watch a program tedious for sure. I hope you come up with a fix soon or some tips to help. Thanks!

The Cox Contour app sucks. It hangs or pauses constantly. Like other have said, you have to pause then restart. I use this primarily on my Samsung tablet. Can't even watch sports as most of it is missed for this reason. The odd thing is Netflix, Amazon Prime, Tubi, YouTube, and Discovery all play just fine. They keep telling me it's my connection. Sure, that's why everything else works as advertised. Thank you to Cox for an expensive service that works terribly, much appreciated!

It's common for it to not be able to play a tv show for hours at at time. Plus, this new version requires one to turn on high accuracy location mode if you want to use your GPS. Requiring this (vs. just the GPS enabled) forces one to allow other apps and services to use your personal data in ways many of us don't want. Why does COX require us to compromise our privacy and security, enabling other applications to do things we don't want!
