I feel like it works about 60% of the time. Much room for improvement still exists! **Developer response:** Hi Carolina. Sorry to hear you are having issues with the app. If the issue is with a specific channel, there might be something misconfigured on our end we can correct for you. If you can reach out to our call center at 1-877-277-5711, we can review the issue for you with some more details. ### 1/5 — Poor *2025-10-25* Poor, needs completely revamped in all areas ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-10-01* Never streams anything. Always an error. Deleted app and reinstalled multiple times. For the price we pay for cable this app should work. ### 1/5 — Worst app there is *2025-06-18* This app will make you want to break your phone. Pay all this money for Armstrong, and for them to promote this “great app that you can stream anywhere” and it won’t load a single show. 5g LTE and it tells you it cannot stream and to check your network. ### 4/5 — Channel Guide Grid *2025-04-29* April 2025 update has certainly made the channel logos on the main guide grid much easier to view now. They were definitely too small to make out with aging eyes, however.. removing the numerical association with the channel only creates a new problem on the same issue. Ease of use to find the station you want quickly. I would like to see both the number & logo share the same first (or maybe second) rows on the grid. This looks like it’s easily accomplished in the “favorites” section to tick your choices of stations. Both appear there, why not on the main guide? The logos are too large now. Reduce them a little and there would be plenty of space for the numbers as well. Many of us use EXP in tandem with the traditional box units as well. We got those numbers committed to memory as well as which channels are HD. Is there an option in settings or preferences to display the numbers? ### 1/5 — Restore the Channel Numbers! *2025-04-27, version 4.12.28* I’m not going to continue to pay over $300 a month to have this app make my life even more difficult especially when it’s supposed to be time to relax and watch some entertainment. Whoever on the development team that thought it was a good idea to remove the Channel Numbers from the main grid guide must be trying to sabotage Armstrong. It simply makes no sense at all. Now we have to comb through the entire grid and take forever to find what was once quick go to channels. It would be unheard of to remove channel numbers from the set top boxes, so why would you decide to do this on the app? At least give us the option in settings if we want the channel numbers to display or not. I’ll give it one month to incorporate this into the app/change it back or I’ll be canceling everything and taking other customers with me. Remember the rule of complaints… for every 1 outspoken complaint - there are 50 or more people that feel the same way but have not verbalized it.. yet. Thank you. ### 2/5 — Was a good app *2025-04-23* In April 2025 you came out with a new update that removed all the channel numbers from this App? So what was your plane? For all of us to learn all the networks so we can find the program we want to watch?? Really.. 👎 ### 1/5 — New but deficient *2025-04-20* For me, after Armstrong “fixed” the constant Reconnecting feature, I was happy to have a clear, reliable TV Guide-style listing offering a snapshot of what was on and when. The current change does NOT include the channel numbers nor the designation of SD or HD. Also, the constantly-on current programs waste usage and cannot be turned off. Typical — fix one thing and make three others worse! **Developer response:** Hello - Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. If you're still experiencing this message, we'd like to help! Please reach out to us via phone, chat, email, etc. at ArmstrongOneWire.com/contact ### 1/5 — App crashes when selecting a sports team *2024-12-01* Cannot create a OnePass for any sports team. So either record every basketball game or nothing. ### 1/5 — EXP STREAM *2024-11-30* Maybe a 1 We have been with Armstrong for many years and could not have asked for a better cable service. But after being told that Exp Stream was the new way to go, we changed. Boy was that a bad move. We can schedule our favorite programs but not it is hit or miss if it records. We receive the error message “Program Temporarily Unavailable” We’re sorry, but this program is temporarily unavailable (channel 111) We are aware of the problem and are working to restore it. Armstrong has been WORKING on this problem for a year and a half(this was told to us by one of our many service call reps.
