Also, we need ALL channels that we pay for available anywhere away from home! ### 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 ### 3/5 — Decent *2026-06-30, version 7.25.0* Frequently freezes and lags ### 3/5 — Too EXPENSIVE *2026-06-08, version 7.25.0* As expensive as Cox cable and Internet are, Cox customers shouldn’t have to pay for additional premium streaming services that’s available on Cox for an additional fee. ### 2/5 — No Wifi *2026-06-04, version 7.25.0* I shouldn’t have to hook up my home WiFi to use my Contour App. ### 3/5 — Limited *2026-05-24, version 7.25.0* It’s great as long as the program isn’t blocked. Seems like more than half of anything I want to watch cannot be seen on contour. ### 2/5 — Multiview Apple TV *2026-04-30, version 7.25.0* 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 — Worthless *2026-04-24, version 7.25.0* You can’t watch anything live unless you are on your home network! What good is that? ### 1/5 — Ridiculous *2026-04-11, version 7.25.0* Trying to watch something remotely and says I need to connect to home WIFI. If I was home I'd watch it on TV. How dumb this is particularly for how much money we spend at two homes on Cox. ### 3/5 — Restarts everything *2026-04-08, version 7.25.0* I can’t watch a show for too long before it keeps rewinding to the same scene over and over again. I end up watching the same commercial numerous times. ### 1/5 — Painful *2026-04-04, version 7.25.0* It is stupid, truly stupid, that you need to login everytime you use the app. ### 1/5 — Not at home and can’t watch what I’m paying for! *2026-03-30, version 7.25.0* What food is it to pay these exorbitant fees and can’t watch when traveling. Will be cancelling cox and moving to Google internet and streaming. ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2026-03-27, version 7.25.0* The old system was better. You could record more than two programs and there was more space. ### 2/5 — Lost *2026-03-25, version 7.25.0* So my first critique would be that the Contour TV shut down about every other week, the Internet shuts down about every other week. And the cost went up so the service goes down and the cost goes up. That’s not cool ### 1/5 — Disappointment *2026-03-24, version 7.25.0* While I’m at work or traveling, I do not have the option of connecting to my TV or would I do have the option two is very limited so therefore I don’t feel this is a very valuable program. I’m considering canceling my subscription.I ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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 ### 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. ### 1/5 — No world cup *2026-07-15, version 7.25.0* No streaming only at home?? Useless ### 1/5 — Poor app and zero support *2026-06-25, version 7.25.0* Really poor app. It used to be in synch with my Cox Contour at home but stopped doing that a few months ago. I opened a support ticket with Cox and I was told the case will be escalated up the chain and someone will get back to me. No one ever did. I really do not like Cox nor its support but in my area I don’t have any other cable providers unless I switch to DirecTV. As soon as I do have other choices I will cancel Cox. Been with them for over 30 years. They keep raising their rates and lower their level of service ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-06-12, version 7.25.0* Does not work on my iPad or my phone. Can’t search for anything or watch anything. ### 1/5 — Sucks *2026-06-11, version 7.25.0* Even when I’m at home, connected to home wifi, it says I can’t watch unless I connect to home wifi. Makes no sense ### 1/5 — The worst *2026-05-24, version 7.25.0* The app never seems to work. Can’t watch most sporting events ### 1/5 — What’s the point *2026-04-26, version 7.25.0* I don’t get why have an app to watch Live tv where you need to be connected to home WiFi . If I’m at home I’ll watch it on my living room TV…… ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-07-05, version 7.25.0* Love it! ### 5/5 — Contour App 5Stars! *2026-06-12, version 7.25.0* It’s like a portable home theater/recording studio. Easy to use —you never miss a show—and an indispensable tool for podcasters covering news and entertainment- ### 5/5 — My shows anytime anywhere *2026-06-01, version 7.25.0* When I am away from home and I can get to my favorite shows and recordings - that makes me happy! ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-04-14, version 7.25.0* We are traveling and I am able to record future shows and watch recorded show where ever I am. ### 5/5 — Cox *2026-03-22, version 7.25.0* Excellent programs! ### 5/5 — New to Cox panoramic WiFi and Contour TV *2026-02-24, version 7.22.4* Got my new panoramic Wi-Fi and Contour TV set up last night at 7:30 p.m. I have been working with it and loving it every minute. I have to leave to go to work, but I can’t wait to get home and figure out more about everything that’s fantastic system does. I haven’t had Wi-Fi speeds this fast even at work. ### 5/5 — Cox away from home *2026-02-18, version 7.22.4* I love everything about cox, except you took off ESPN’s when on the go watching ### 5/5 — Works well *2025-12-28, version 7.22.4* Great for watching your shows when the tvs are taken by family ### 5/5 — Love this app *2025-12-04, version 7.22.4* I enjoy taking my cable tv with me to work and travel. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
