Can’t log in (fixed)
I downloaded this app after someone showed it to me (I am a Comcast/xfinity customer), interested in where the nearest hotspots were, but it won’t even let me log in. I type in my email, password, and device name, hit the login button, and the app immediately crashes. Have tried probably 20 times with the same result. Have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling with the same issue. Will change my review once this gets fixed. UPDATE: I tried logging in without putting in a device name, and that happened to work. Weird solution, but hope it can help someone else out there with the same problem.

Don't hate!
I love this app. I have an internet only iPad and so does my mom. This is great for use when I am out and about. It does not work everywhere but it does work out in the field. I don't use it often and but it has been very helpful when it worked when I needed it to. Think about it. I often say "Well your pad won't work here, only at home." Then I remember this app and I say "Wait! I can get us on the internet here!" And bam! There is service! It is not perfect but it is very useful.

Balky
Provides a great convenience with WiFi access when I’m away from my home WiFi. Still, though, it’s balky: Case 1: my iPhone WiFi locks on to some Xfinity network without gaining me WiFi access, nor releasing the WiFi receiver to access other in-range familiar networks. Case 2: I walk out of range of an Xfinity network but — between iOS & Xfinity — the iPhone receiver is bound & determined to not give up on that network in favor of some stronger signal. I also wish xfinity had a better network naming convention so it would be clear which networks were public access & which weren’t, w/o me manually having to make the iPhone try each xfinity network in sequence.
