Spectrum App on XUMO

Recently it became necessary to replace our old cable box and was prompted to replace it with XUMO. We've had it now for a couple of weeks and like it. However, the Spectrum App does not reach the level we expect from Spectrum. It seems rather than developing an app for XUMO that would meet the expectations of its longtime cable users they chose to place the same app used on an iPhone. All the other apps are of a high quality and work well except for Spectrum-It is sometimes fuzzy-there is an inability to create specific favorite channels-after turning it off it goes back to "all channels"-and compared to the ease if the box it's difficult to navigate. One would think an app would have been developed to mirror or improve the box experience. I've talked to service and the guy agreed that it "isn't great", that he had the same issues and he would pass my thoughts along. It's interesting that Spectrum now moves us to XUMO and their app is the weakest part of the experience.

How do we get Spectrum to improve and redesign the app so it works as well as cable?

Thanks.

Spectrum app is blurry?

Have reset modem, router, xumo box all the other apps are fine. This has happened before. When Spectrum switched us to fiber optic the installer said the router was not right? Seems to work ok until now?

Will the library function be added to Apple TV Plus support?

This is not available on Xumo unlike other popular streamers.

Xumo Remote

Very poorly designed remote. Slow to react. Not user friendly. IR only. My biggest complaint, other than having no literature explaining how to get to each feature, is the fact that you can't fix individual devices if there is a problem. If your avr fails to come on, you can't just go to devices and turn it on. Same with TV. This feature is available with even the cheapest universal remote. And it makes a difference what the buttons do depending on what screen you are on. The Harmony Elite was almost perfect. Unfortunately. it's been discontinued. And the Xumo layout makes little sense. The guide also has no channel numbers. That REALLY doesn't make any sense. Spectrum really needs to reevaluate their decision with Xumo and move forward in time. Not backwards.

Why is the Xumo system so difficult to keep operating?

We have had the Spectrum Xumo platform synced to our new Samsung TV for about 8 weeks. It is a daily struggle to keep Xumo operating. It just randomly shuts off and default to Samsung TV control. We unplug the Xumo box over and over to get it to reboot. Some days it never reconnect. Or it takes an hour of turning all on and off and then for no apparent reason Xumo is back on. For 5 hours, then the connection is dropped again. We have gone days with no TV out of frustration with this system.
I have had it. The standard cable box is far more dependable.
Why roll out Xumo if the bugs haven't been worked out.

A seriously pissed off customer.
