XFINITY™ TV Player for iPad app review

XFINITY™ TV Player

Price: Free

XFINITY™ TV Player by Comcast Interactive Media makes sure that you're never without entertainment options on your iPad.

You'll be able to access and watch all kinds of shows and movies On Demand. There are thousands of popular movies and shows from such channels as Encore, Starz, and Showtime to offer you even more selections. In fact you'll find thousands of hours worth of movies and TV shows here, so there's no way you'll ever have a lack of choice.

Use your iPad to connect to any WiFi network and then you can start watching the content. Stream shows from other channels like HBO, Showtime, TNT, Cinemax, TBS, BBC America, and Cartoon Network.

If you know you'll be somewhere without an Internet connection, download your selections ahead of time so you can view them later offline.

The app features parental controls that you can customize so you won't have to worry about what the kids are downloading.

It's important to know that you need to subscribe to Comcast Digital Video of XFINITY TV services as well as one or more of the eligible channels in order for this app to work. You'll require your Comcast.net email password and address or your Comcast ID.

XFINITY™ TV Player was updated on Dec. 18, 2012 and currently has 1,573 customer ratings with an average rating of two out of five stars.

I liked that this app allowed you to download content to watch at a later time which was ideal when I knew I'd be without an Internet connection. The content selection is also quite good.

For: iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch (3rd generation), iPod touch (4th generation), iPod touch (5th generation), and iPad with iOS 5.0 or later
