Ratings and reviews

Forced to switch to RCN due to having been a WOW customer. We waited months! for the actual switchover install, and were left with also NO info or guidance because customer service hadn't a clue about new services. We still don't know if this is the app that aligns with our TV service, and reading some reviews, now afraid of using it! Why isn't there a step-by-step guide for each service!? Also, a guide for the new remote! Ours fell, after putting battery back, program started rewinding! Why!?

The app seems to work well for streaming, but for a company whose platform (TiVo) is integrated with Google, it seems like a big miss to not have a "cast" option to stream to Google Chromecast. The "cast" feature was available when I had Xfinity. Disappointed.

A far cry from the Tivo app which was inexplicably taken away. The only saving grace is the ability to live stream shows currently airing. I miss having a remote interface to Tivo and being able to record and watch shows.
