Please allow the app to play in the background as well as in lock screen mode. There are times I want to sleep to a TV but get blinded with the light that comes off it. With my iPad or iPhone I could listen to TV without that annoying bright screen in my face. Sadly you have to leave your device turned on to listen to the program. When you turn your device off during a program, you only get a few seconds before the app mutes itself. This could be a bad thing because if you leave your device turned on It can make it hot or run down the battery.

T The ability to run the app in the background or in the lock screen (without video playing) would make it easier do use at night while trying to sleep. Plus if you're blind you can't see the video anyways. So to be able to have the video switched to sound only would make a huge difference for those who want sound only while using the app.I definitely love that Xfinity went the extra... As well as contrasting colors for those who are visually impaired. However, I would like to see the app be compatible for those who have large print enable on their devices.Otherwise I love the app but it could definitely use some tweaking.

So I was able to find one other user who left a review with the same issue. Since the recent update, I am unable to cast from my iPad.

When I press the Chromecast button in the xfinity app on my iPad, the window with my list of devices opens and closes immediately making it impossible to choose a device. Comcast responded to the first user with a useless fix as it wasn’t even related. I moved from using the app on the Roku to Chromecast from my iPad as the xfinity app on the Roku had terrible audio issues for over a year with no fix and once... Why can’t xfinity fix their apps. Edit: Now sometimes the sound cuts out while watching live tv. There has been no update.

I’m very close to trying another service because every few months some new issue comes ups and Comcast does nothing to fix it.Update: Revising my review as Xfinity provided an update to the IPad... Finally able to watch on my tv again. I was having issues with audio cutting out while watching on the IPad but I haven’t noticed it while casting. We're happy to announce that we've successfully addressed the issue where the list of available Chromecast devices would disappear after tapping the Cast button in the latest 7.16.0 release. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we appreciate your patience as we worked to address this issue. Happy Streaming!

They are very kind with helping you get to where you need to be (if you can only afford so much, they will try to make it happen for you in an affordable way). I appreciate that. My biggest problem is the timing. I can be on the phone or chat with them for well over 45 mins to an hour and they try my patience. I was at the hospital once because of a bad situation and they kept asking how my day was and wanting to chitchat (after I told them my situation) instead of looking into my... It was so inappropriate and frustrating.

I’m by no means a rude person on the phone because I have been on their end and you appreciate any little bit of kindness you can get. But i was getting very short with them (sadly, these were different calls/sessions). Also, I told them I specifically needed my bill to be at “$___” price and it was after trying to get me to add phones to my internet (which would have doubled the whole... I’m all for foreigners, but if it’s a job that takes you 45-60 mins for ONE simple call… maybe that job isn’t for you and it shows Xfinity isn’t keeping up with managing their... Please speak with them about LISTENING to your customers, getting to the points, moving quicker, and annunciation. As I said, you guys actually GET to where I need to be, but the time wasted to get there seems not worth it some days.

Please speak with them about LISTENING to your customers, getting to the points, moving quicker, and annunciation. As I said, you guys actually GET to where I need to be, but the time wasted to get there seems not worth it some days. I have had Xfinity for years. The internet itself is great which is the only reason I stay. My 2 biggest gripes for a company specializing in selling technology is the customer service and the fact that they can't even make their own app work smoothly??

For the app, it runs so ridiculously slow even WITH WiFi, it's basically useless if you try using it without WiFi. Even getting to the screen to pay my bill (because I sometimes need to pay it early and can't wait for the auto payment) it takes a full 5 minutes to load, then another... The app is fully updated and my phone is less than 4 years old. As for customer service, it's almost better to go to a store near you than to even attempt to call. My cable line going from the street to my building got clipped by a semi once and it subsequently fell to the ground and was later cut by a neighbor. I was on the phone going through the "did you try resetting your router?" loop for an hour and it didn't give you any other options than to "try resetting it" and have the...

When I FINALLY reached a representative, it took them all of 5 minutes to put out a work order. It took everything I had not to throw my phone through my walls. Most recent time that something happened to my line, I went into the store instead of calling and they were able to get a work order for the next day. In person they are great, the phone system is just a giant headache. I have had Xfinity for years. The internet itself is great which is the only reason I stay.
