I know this app is discussed in the various "territory" threads, but I wanted to draw it out as a stand-alone topic so that progress on the app can be more visible.
Today (4/8) the Android app seems stable in understanding that I am connected via my home WiFi. With this, In the Watch Now area I can see 125 channel tiles when the view is set to All. Most are locked. When I switch to Subscribed view I see nine local stations including one RSN. They all stream, although there are some incorrect channel information (e.g. in one case the channel is 11 (an SD channel), but the feed is in HD which would make it 511; in another case where both the SD (30) and HD (530) feeds are available that the 530 feed is actually a sub channel of the OTA channel, the HD version of 30).
Then bottom line is that the subscription information is still hosed (consistent with what I see on the tv.frontier.com web site) because almost all of my subscribed channels are locked. The "coming soon" functionality is still missing with one exception: The "Watch on TV" icon on the lower right of a streamed channel window is back, and it works! When tapping my STB changed to the channel I was viewing on the tablet. Also "STB" is now on the view screen where your attached STB name used to be shown with Verizon's app. Tapping it shows "STB" (I only have one STB so that's what I would expect), but again Watch on TV works.
