Information about iOS and Android Phones / Tablets
Any customer wanting to use their iOS or Android phone or tablet to watch WOW tv+ must own their own device, as WOW! does not provide or sell them. Some WOW! tv+ features will not be available with your iOS or Android phone and tablets, including the ability to rent videos OnDemand, access the Google Play Store and use your WOW! tv+ Google Voice Assistant remote. To access these features, you must use your WOW! tv+ box.
The iOS and Android applications are in BETA status. This means that the application is still under feature development, and we are looking for your feedback on how we can improve our new application. You can expect there to be different or missing features that we are still working on improving and adding. If you are a current WOW! tv+ subscriber and have suggestions to improve your app experience, please use our feedback widget on the bottom left-hand corner of your screen.
While we are here to help make the installation process as smooth as possible, our ability to provide technical support may be limited as iOS and Android phones and tablets are not WOW!-commissioned equipment. If you need further assistance with your phone or tablet, please reference your installation guide or contact Apple or Google support. Your use of Android phones and tablets may require a separate subscription or account and may be subject to other terms of use, restrictions, conditions and policies. iOS and all related marks are trademarks of Apple, Inc or its affiliates, which are not affiliated with WOW!.
