iOS stream app update is TERRIBLE

Just downloaded the latest iOS Stream app and they have destroyed everything that was good about the app. Full schedules NOT available. No way to show Favorites. Terrible interface for Library with no way to show saved and scheduled anymore. 

Bring back the old app NOW!!!

Fully agreed. It lags, no favorites. Somebody decided to fix something that wasn't broken.

The new upgrade seems to be several major steps backwards.  You charge so much money for the [Edited: "Language"] product you are providing.

The app update is terrible. The layout was perfect before. What a disaster! It’s impossible to find anything. There’s no Favorite channel filter now. I had all my favorite channels set up before and it was very easy to find my favorite shows. Now it's a jumbled mess!

this is the WORST of the word Upgrade - it is definitely a DOWNGRADE.  Who has the time to reinvent the programming we were all using (mostsly) happily.

Maybe they will actually listen to their users and revert it… more likely they just pocket the money to pay the moronic firm that came up with this

Same thing here. On my iphone 17e. I did not take the update on my ipad,  so the app is working fine there. I called xfinity they said they would elevate a ticket. All we can do is for xfinity to push I patch through an update. I can't see scheduled recordings.

My biggest issue so far (just getting into it). I rely on Scheduled Recordings. From the sound of it, we lost so much value for the sake of look and feel. Maddening.

Please fix this app. The old app worked great. Need favorites back. The guide is unusable without it. Bring back dvr scheduled view. Cannot easily tell what is recording any given night. I cannot delete a recording from the list by swiping anymore. The dvr recordings are being listed by description instead of the show name.  Can’t tell what I’m looking at in some cases until you select the show. The resume feature for dvr shows started earlier is gone.  Smart resume to pass commercials is also gone. Totally broke this experience. Horrible.

There is NOTHING good about this revamped app. Super frustrating

I'm joining in to echo the chorus of disappointment.  The new iOS version of the Xfinity Stream app (9.0.0) is a HUGE step backwards.

The Guide has no filters for "HD" or "Favorite" channels.  Having to scroll through hundreds of channels to find what I'm looking for is a extremely inefficient.  Once I DO find what I'm looking for, there are NO visual indicators on the grid to show that a recording is scheduled, like the red dots from the previous app version.

The Library no longer shows a listing of upcoming scheduled recordings or how much recording space I have available on my DVR.

I have mainly relied on this app to be able to manage my DVR activity while on the go.  And the new design has completely neutered the experience, rendering the app virtually useless.  Please reinstate this necessary functionality, immediately.  I can't imagine how anyone could look at this design and consider it an "improvement".

Thank you.

This app is horrible.  All features that made it easy to use are gone.  It is virtually useless to me.  I want the old one back.   I have been a loyal customer for many years and have kept your service because of the ease to use.   If I have app that is useless I guess my loyalty was for nothing.   Bring the old one back.

Well said, I forgot about the loyalty aspect. They should have done beta testing first, if they are going to COMPLETELY revamp the app.

You put out a new update to 9.0.0 still does not function, no indication of app in iOS control box, no fast forward with Magic Keyboard, no pause with Magic Keyboard.

Title: [iOS/iPadOS App v9.0.0 Bug] Missing Control Center NowPlaying Widget & Broken Magic Keyboard Media Controls
Device & App Details:
  • Device Model: [e.g., iPad Pro 12.9" / iPad Air M2]
  • iPadOS Version: [e.g., iPadOS 18.x / 26.x]
  • Xfinity Stream App Version: 9.0.0 (November 2026 update)
  • Accessory: Apple Magic Keyboard
Issue Summary:
Following the version 9.0.0 redesign, the Xfinity Stream app no longer integrates with native iPadOS media playback frameworks (MPNowPlayingInfoCenter / AVPlayer system hooks). As a result, system-level media controls and external keyboard shortcuts are completely broken during video playback.
Specific Bugs:
  1. Missing Control Center Integration: While streaming live TV or DVR recordings, Xfinity Stream does not register as active media in the iPadOS Control Center "Now Playing" box or on the Lock Screen.
  2. Dead Magic Keyboard Media Keys & Shortcuts: Hardware media keys (Play/Pause, Rewind, Fast Forward), the Space bar, and Left/Right arrow keys do not respond during playback.
  3. Accessibility Workarounds Blocked: Because the new custom video player does not expose standard UI focus elements to iPadOS, enabling iPadOS Full Keyboard Access also fails to navigate or control the playback timeline.
Expected Behavior:
The video player should register its playback state with iPadOS so that the stream appears in the Control Center media widget and responds to standard Apple Magic Keyboard shortcuts (Space bar for play/pause, arrow keys for scrubbing, and top-row media keys), just as it did prior to version 9.0.0.

Holy [Edited: "Language"]! The more I TRY to use this the worse it gets. Finding recorded shows is impossible, smart resume is gone, you can’t look for a show in the guide without scrolling forever. This is the worst redo of anything tech I’ve ever seen. My ipad is my TV 90% of the time. Might be time to cut my decades long relationship with Xfinity because for the price I pay I’m not willing to put up with this frustration.
