New IOS Xfinity App does not show data usage

​For years, I have used the Xfinity My Account App to view the current and past three months Data usage for my Internet service.  Now, when opening the App, it says it's going away soon and to use the new Xfinity App.​

​ ​​ ​
​ Unfortunately, trying to get data usage with this new App is totally broken.  The option to get data usage should be on the main screen, but you have to tap up on the top left for the Account screen (this is a minor nit). When you do get to the Account screen, you have to scroll down a bit to see the Data Usage option. ​
​ ​
​ ​​ ​
​ ​
​ However, when you select Data Usage, it opens up the Xfinity Assistant, which itself is broken and doesn't do anything. ​
​ ​
​ ​​ ​
​ ​
​ Doesn't anyone at Comcast test this stuff before releasing it?  Right now this App is garbage and should not ever replace the old Apps that work just fine ​
​ ​
​ Please DO NOT deprecate the My Account App.  One App to do it all is never a good idea because it never does anything well. ​

@user_pppa27 Hi there, thank you for taking the time to reach out and express your concerns. My apologies you are having some issues managing your services with the new app, and it would be my pleasure to help in any way I can. I understand the MyAccount app going away will take some getting used to for all of us, but I am confident the new one will be amazing once we get the hang of how to use it. The data usage tab should be providing you with the data information, but instead is sending you to the Xfinity Assistant. Am I understanding that correctly? Is this the only concern you have with the new app or are you experiencing other issues as well?

@XfinityVanessa​ The new app does not show usage data, it's broken. Now I am getting email that the My Account app will go away in April.  This is unacceptable. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT remove the My Account App until you fix the Xfinity APP.

@user_pppa27 We are still making changes to the Xfinity app to ensure that when the My Account app is no longer in service the Xfinity app is able to provide the complete customer experience.

It sends us to the Xfinity Assistant, which is what it always did before. But the assistant would always tell us our data usage. Now it just goes in a circle as shown in the photo below. Every time I hit “Try again” I keep getting the same message.

I too am receiving the same massage when trying to access my data usage using the Xfinity app.  The My Accounts app has no issue displaying this information.

Hi, thank you for reporting the issues you are experiencing with the Xfinity app. I check my usage often, so I understand the concern. Can you please try to uninstall and reinstall the app?

That did not solve the issue. After uninstalling and reinstalling the app I’m still stuck in the Xfinity Assistant loop (screenshots above) when trying to access my data usage

I was just told on DM that the new app isn’t able to display data usage for customers that supply their own modem. How is it that the current app, that is being decommissioned, is able to display usage but this new app will not? Seems like a step backwards forcing me to use an app that provides less features.

Add me to the list as well. Same exact problem. Stuck in a loop. This app SUX big time! I can't believe they are forcing it on us now. I always avoided this app like the plague. It's extremely hard to find where to access what you want to do. Then they force you into their stupid Xfinity Assistant.

@user_1ada6a thank you so much for letting us know you are running into a similar issue when checking your usage online. Have you by chance attempted to check here https://customer.xfinity.com/#/devices#usage This is a direct link to your account page with your data usage. If you have any issues viewing it from a mobile device make sure it is showing you the desktop version of the page.

This problem has existed for at least 2 months. I started trying to use the new app once I was getting the pop-up message that the other app was going away. After multiple app updates, this data usage problems still frustratingly exists. Please stop sending everyone to Xfinity support and fix the problem.

Support has told me that data usage in the new app WILL NOT display for customers that supply their own modem. Not sure why I’m being forced to use an app that provides me less of an experience than the current FUNCTIONAL app.

@user_pppa27. Sorry for the confusion. Data display is for all accounts and modems. Any issues with the app not loading is a technical issue and calling the CSA team is the best firs step. If you have called them with no resolution, let me know

Thanks Ethan. Just letting you know that I followed Ashley’s instructions above to delete and reinstall the app. This didn’t solve my problem. I then followed the steps to DM Xfinity Support. It was during this session that I explained my issue. I’m able to view usage on the website and the “old app” but am stuck in a loop with the Assistant when trying to access it via the new app (see screenshots in original post). After asking me to check usage on the website (which displays without issue) I was told by support that usage is not available in the app for customers with their own modems.

That’s stupid if true, because I was able to view it for for at least a year with my own modem. So they’re actively taking away features and punishing people who prefer not to rent their equipment? Gosh I wish I had another option for internet.

@EZ_Rhino. I understand that and read everything. Our CSA team handles data concerns of all kinds. That is why if you want to take the steps to help fix it we appreicate trying to call them to help provide a faster fix. The more tickets we get, the faster issues are worked on. In the end, it wil be fixed, but faster is better.

Will you at least be able to access data usage through a web browser if you have your own modem?

@maltomar​ I’m still able to a access usage via a web browser. Unfortunately it’s not as clean or as good of an experience as accessing it via an app.

@EZ_Rhino I understand and why I apologized for the confusion. xFi is not compatible with owned modems, but data usage is a feature of its own. If owned modems did not work with data the website would not work as well. The CSA team number provided to you is the best first step for data concerns. If they can't help, let me know.

@XfinityEthan​ I just downloaded the latest version to my iPhone and it's still broken.  Contacting your CSA team doesn't do any good.  Logging out, deleting and reinstalling makes no difference, and the old My Account app works just fine.

@maltomar You should be able to see your usage through the web browser even if you have your own modem.

Hello, thank you for reaching out to us. We are in the process of phasing out the My Account App and moving everything to our Xfinity App. While we are working on moving everything over you can still use your My Account App in the meantime. Did you have any other questions or concerns we can assist you with?
