### 1/5 — Unable to sign in

*2026-06-30, version 3.141.5*

Can’t sign into app despite being able to sign into my account on a desktop which encourages me to use the app….

### 1/5 — Horrible App

*2026-06-30, version 3.141.5*

You need this app to make changes on a specific Router Model. However you cannot set up an account on this app if you don’t also have Cogeco services of some time. This is the absolute worst interface to have to use to do something as simple as changing a WiFi password.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-06-08*

Won’t ever let me log in.

*2026-05-30*

J’ai beau essayer , changer le mot de passe. Impossible de se connecter. L’ancienne application fonctionnait beaucoup mieux!  Décevant!

### 1/5 — Wanted to access modem

*2026-05-11*

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2026-05-05*

Not sure why but bell has the same app. Makes you wonder who ripped off who. Good luck logging in. The app will regularly forget your password and when you try to reset it both the apps website and cogecos actual website will redirect you to a broken web page. Customers support is a joke and your better off talking to a rock because you will be disconnected from the phone as it’s not designed to talk to an actual person they want you do do that online through a stupid chat bot. If the wifi wasnt so cheap this company should be run into the ground. I dare you to click the app support feature I bet you it will go to another broken error 404 page. Thanks cogeco for making yet another garbage product.

### 1/5 — Should not need an app

*2026-03-09*

Modem settings must be configurable from the web interface, definitely not from an app that users do not need
