Kindle fire hd 8

Your app has been saying it needs an update on my kindle for a long time. However, the message goes away after I press got it and the app functions. Recently, I see that the app needs OS 6 to run. My fire doesn’t have that update. However, yesterday, the app ran just fine. Why can the app run on my system with the same system requirements yesterday and not today?

Yes I understand the requirements but it does not explain why it worked yesterday without my device being updated.

The only thing I can think of is our streaming app may have been recently updated or some cache in your device let you in. We recommend contacting the manufacturer of the Kindle to see about updating the software to meet those minimum system requirements so you do not have issues with the device when using the Xfinity Stream app moving forward.

May have been updated recently? Shouldn't Comcast know if the app was updated or not?

I have the same problem. My app keep asking for an update, it downloads and then repeats. Obviously the application update is broken and needs to be fixed.
