### 1/5 — Not Consistent

*2026-08-20, version 7.26.1*

I recently switched temporarily to this Cox Contour App as I’d been using YouTube TV and wanted to see if there was a difference between the two. There is.
Since switching to Cox (in South Central KS), I’ve experienced numerous disruptions and app shut downs. Currently, following the recent update, there is no sound from certain networks. This could be in that network yet, I don’t have a way to reach out to those networks to let them know. It seems that would be a communication for Cox to manage.

Ultimately, I’LL likely be switching back to YouTube TV. There service was consistent and reliable.

### 5/5 — TV

*2026-08-15, version 7.25.4*

I love this app when I am not home. I can watch all my favorite shows.

### 1/5 — no sound on certain channels

*2026-08-14, version 7.25.4*

as above works when out of town then certain stations loose sound

### 2/5 — Multiview Apple TV

*2026-08-03, version 7.25.4*

Please create a multiview/multicast feature for the AppleTV app so we can watch up to four sports at once.

Also, we need ALL channels that we pay for available anywhere away from home!

### 1/5 — Update killed casting to Chrome.

*2026-07-27, version 7.25.0*

Recent update for iOS now has all google casting broken for all TVs from all iPhones. Junk. Terrible app. Thanks Cox.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2026-07-21, version 7.25.0*

As of July 19, 2026 the casting option has not worked. They are aware as of 7/19 but still have not been able to resolve as of 7/21.

### 2/5 — chromecast doesnt work

*2026-07-21, version 7.25.0*

chromecast all the sudden stopped working and its a cox contour app issue because all my other apps connect perfectly

### 1/5 — No world cup

*2026-07-15, version 7.25.0*

No streaming only at home?? Useless

### 5/5 — Love it!
