### 1/5 — Horrible

*2021-03-23*

My internet intermittently goes out for 5 mins. My kid was in virtual for a while and it would always go out while he was in class. My wife is a teacher, same thing. I have called and get basically no help. They sent a guy out to my house, he was rude and basically told me my internet shouldn’t be doing that “its new equipment” he said. I felt he was implying I had something to do with their service going out. I really do not like this company.

### 1/5 — Not functional

*2021-03-16*

I can’t do or access anything through this app. I’m confused as to why this would have been released if not functional. Frustrating and not a solid business decision. Please take some action to correct or remove from general use.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2021-02-01, version 4.4.1*

Quite possibly one of the worst cable apps out there today. Can’t imagine anything worse.

### 1/5 — Unable to stream content

*2020-10-31, version 4.4.1*

I select WATCH and it says unable to stream content to my device

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2020-07-15, version 4.4.1*

Whenever I try to stream i get this message “ Doesn’t allow streaming to this device”

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2020-07-04*

This app rarely recognizes my user and pw. Even when I have confirmed it is the correct user and pw. For some reason I get re-directed to another log in / register page. Only then, sometimes I can log in.  IF I am able to log in  then I am not able to submit payment. The app is slow, not intuitive at all and non-responsive when pressing on menu. I have iPhone6s and this app is horrible.

### 1/5 — Use to work, not anymore

*2020-06-28, version 4.4.1*

I use to use this to operate my arris box from other rooms or when I was away. Suddenly it stopped working in 2019. Very disappointing

### 1/5 — What a joke..

*2020-05-20, version 4.4.1*

Stream = zilch
Control = zilch

The customer service didn’t even know there is a app.. what a joke paying more than $160 per month for crap

### 1/5 — Smh

*2020-02-17, version 4.4.1*

I can no longer stream cable news via my iPad.

### 1/5 — App

*2020-01-09, version 4.4.1*

This is a terrible app, i can’t do anything
me giving a 1 star is being to nice.

### 1/5 — Why Bother

*2019-12-04, version 4.4.1*

This app only offers remote functionality for channels and DVR. It doesn’t have a customer service or tech support functionality, it’s surprising  that this company is so behind in the technology aspect. 

Xfinity app is much better, has ability to resend signal for internet or tv and schedule tech visit without ever talking to a live person. WoW’s idea of technology is you can send an email on there website homepage and they will respond in 48  hours and tell you that you need to call and sit on hold for 30 minutes  until you get someone in India that barely speaks English. 

Wow is very Archaic and Antiquated technology.

### 1/5 — No Streaming

*2019-11-23, version 4.4.1*

EVERY SINGLE CHANNEL not available for streaming.  Might be time to explore new cable provider options.

### 1/5 — Horrible App

*2019-11-14, version 4.4.1*

Here is WOW customer service’s reply to me asking about streaming......” With the ultra application, customers won't be able to stream. we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause!”

What.  A.  Joke.

### 1/5 — The app that WOW forgot!

*2019-11-03, version 4.4.1*

2 years since last update? Really? If your thinking of coming g over to the WOW side get used to getting equipment and service that time forgot. This app is about as basic as basic can get.

### 1/5 — Aweful

*2019-10-20, version 4.4.1*

Do not install waist of your time

### 1/5 — Watch on the go

*2019-10-17, version 4.4.1*

I can’t watch anything on my phone . Says unable to stream

### 1/5 — Does this app work for anyone?

*2019-10-04, version 4.4.1*

It’s hard to believe this company would even release this POC.

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2023-02-03, version 4.4.1*

This app is horrible.. can never log in!! Fix this garbage or delete it!!!

### 1/5 — Can’t even open the app

*2022-10-16, version 4.4.1*

It opens for a split second then closes. I reinstalled it and restarted my phone, but still isn’t working

### 1/5 — Crippling frustration

*2022-01-16*

My logins never seem to be accepted even though I check them and reset them constantly. Reaching out to customer support is a black hole of being ignored and dismissed… I don’t see this company getting off the struggle bus anytime soon.

### 1/5 — Love WOW, but Ultra App/Experience Terrible

*2021-12-01*

I’m a WOW Ultra costumer that wants so badly to like this, but the app is terrible (especially through the Firestick) on the TV, which is the way WOW! told me to connect to it. Chanels often missing. Have to reset it constantly. Error messages, literally every single time I turn on the TV. Been a WOW customer for 8 years but this may be the beginning of the end.

### 1/5 — Jurassic App

*2021-09-14, version 4.4.1*

The app is archaic. Hire a team and step into the times.

### 1/5 — Stopped working.

*2021-09-13, version 4.4.1*

This app stopped letting me in, I get a Terms of Use pdf and no option out of it.

### 1/5 — App support is needed

*2021-08-22, version 4.4.1*

Not WOWED by WOW employees being clueless about their app when it’s down. When it’s working they can’t even help me with getting the remote in the app to work.

### 1/5 — App stopped working

*2021-07-21*

The app stopped working.  I was on hold for 20 minutes.  When someone finally answered his accent was really hard to understand.  He gave me some suggestions which did not work.  He put me on hold Nd disconnected me!  I called back and again had to wait twenty plus minutes.  This new CSR put me on hold and then disconnected me.  WORST customer service EVER!

### 1/5 — What am i paying for

*2021-07-12*

I assume it’s a waste of time to write  this review but i just want to point out i pay almost 200 bucks a month to be offered an app that hasn’t been updated in 3 years? You people are ******* crooks!!

### 1/5 — App have serious issue

*2021-07-11, version 4.4.1*

This app doesn’t work at all. Please fix it ASAP.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Login

*2020-08-10, version 4.4.1*

Why can’t I login with my credentials?

### 5/5 — Great App

*2018-11-16, version 4.4.1*

I don’t get the negative reviews. I have an easier time setting a recording through the app versus the DVR.

### 5/5 — New update

*2017-09-15, version 4.4.1*

Thanks for updating your app. It looks brighter and cleaner!

### 4/5 — Useful when away

*2018-12-19*

A little wonky, but I like being able to adjust my recording schedule when away from home.

### 4/5 — Better than expected

*2017-11-27*

After reading other reviews, I expected this app to disappoint.  However, it’s been working really well.  I can control all three of my cable boxes from my phone.  I also like the ability to look at the guide via the app vs. my TV remote.  Totally recommend this app if you have the Ultra package.

### 3/5 — Buggy, but most functions work

*2019-01-30*

The sync option does not display valid media gateways. There seems to be no way to send a network request to obtain the valid media gateways available. Therefore the sync feature is completely nonfunctional. 

The search function window will often, for no apparent reason, delete characters already typed, as though a flush has been performed. This then requires retyping the characters that were flushed.

### 3/5 — It’s okay

*2017-09-20*

Switched to WOW! from Time Warner Cable where you could watch TV from the TWC TV app. It's ok but it stinks you have to be on the ULTRA box's wifi network to use as a remote since we use our own wifi!

### 2/5 — It needs improvement

*2020-04-03*

The app will not open unless you are connected to the WOW network. So it will not slow you to report problems when there is an outage. 
Also the Comcast app lets you watch recorded content from the app from anyplace if you are traveling. 
It would be nice if WOW had these features.

### 2/5 — Really buggy

*2019-10-05*

Only records about 50% of the time, even when at home and connected to the same wi-fi as the box.  Streaming has never worked even once.

### 2/5 — Problem with my recordings

*2019-09-27, version 4.4.1*

My recordings aren’t showing on the app!
