  • What Happened????

    I’m on my third time of deleting and reinstalling this app. After watching a movie, I can’t get back to the main screen and have to search on the thumbnails under the screen in an inch of space
    When I do finally get to the guide by shutting down and restarting, it freezes up. No scrolling to search for shows.
    Funny that “ feedback” box keeps popping up, but when I touch “yes”, it disappears and shows me my frozen guide.
    This app use to work a few months ago. I sure dislike updates.

  • Functionality is AWFUL!

    If you’re a cable person this might be good for you.
    But if you like searching for specific things to watch, good luck - this app is not for you. There’s no way to type in what you want to want. You just have to flip through thousands of channels and options to find what you want.
    There’s no way to rewind when watching streaming movies or shows. You can either pick between restarting or starting at the beginning or commercial breaks.
    The app consistently freezes and dies for no reason.
    Lastly, because you can’t search what to watch, I’ve resorted to googling shows in my Mac then screen sharing it to my AppleTV which works perfectly fine on every other app, but not Xumo! Half the times it fails is just says there was an error. The other half of the time it doesn’t go full screen, it still shows surrounding screens even though that’s not what’s showing in my Mac.
    Overall I love the content on the platform, but finding what you want, accessing it, and playing it is the nightmare. I downloaded this app just a week ago from high recommendations and I’ve found it nearly useless. I’d love for it to be my go to app just on the content available, but the functionality ruins it for me.

  • Favorite Classics

    I really like watching Xumo, and being a cord cutter and knowing Xumo Play is absolutely free is a winner for me. My favorites classics are Little House on the Prairie, Lassie, Quincy, Columbo, Todays Homeowner and This Old House, hopefully in the future more of my favorite classics will be added like the Waltons and Gardening by the Yard. Awesome!, l see Leave It to Beaver added. Keep up the good work.

  • Good app, but can't get the app to stream from my phone to tv

    This looks like a great app, another option for watching TV and movies, the only downside is with the app being compatible to my smart TV, I can't get anything I watch from the app onto my smart TV without the app wanting me to connect to a Chromecast, otherwise this could be an app to use, just need tips on how to when I'm watching something from the app to get it to connect to my smart TV without having to use Chromecast.

  • One of the best free TV app!

    This app is arguably one of the best tv and movie streaming app ever on mobile devices that you can spend your time with from different local tv news to other tv programs that you couldn’t find from a regular tv antenna. I wouldn’t say that it’s absolutely the best on itself as the definitive tv alternative without cable because what this app lacks compared to most other TV streaming applications on mobile is that this lacks features to display more information of what season and episode the show your watching on selected channels which is one of the drawbacks when using Xumo but still this is the second best TV option I would recommend.

  • This is the best Free TV app

    Xumo has shows and channels you will not find anywhere else. The outer-sphere channel is a good example. If the developers are interested in improvements, then one thing I could suggest would be to make the live guide channel image bigger.
  • No search

    I can’t say I love this app because I find it very hard to navigate! You cannot use the back button and there is no search option which makes it very difficult to find what you’re looking for! I would like to use this app more however its layout frustrates me!
  • UNFAIR REVIEW

    Why I’m titling it UNFAIR REVIEW ???

    I’m watching EARTH:NATURE OF OUR PLANET. The close caption is wait behind. Based on this it’s not Xumo’s fault this is happening. It’s the producers of this nature three episode’s series. The series gives good information. Maybe is Xumo’s responsibility to contact the producers of this series to see if they can correct this way behind close caption delay.

    I’m going to try to contact the producers myself, too.

  • Annoyed

    My phone is up to date and I downloaded Xumo play. It only opens the opening screen and asks to enable notifications. That’s all it does. I tried contacting support and was told to use another device. ???? I told the worker that I only use this app on my phone and have no problem accessing it on the internet. I was told to access their service on another device and then contact them again if there was a problem. Well the problem is is that the app doesn’t work on my iPhone like it’s supposed to. Fix the app!

  • Got a really strange error message today

    The really strange error message was that the country I’m in wasn’t supported by XUMO Play. That was after I had already been watching over three hours of Nature. After I force closed down the app a couple of times I was all of a sudden in a supported country.

    I’m in the USA in Alabama. Just what happened to make it think I had all of a sudden moved a couple of thousand miles?
