Update App has been updated and does not hijack mobile data. The function to automatically connect to Xfinity wifi is disabled. (Which makes the app essentially useless since that is its purpose). It has not yet asked for permission to turn off wifi. Turned auto update back on. Fingers crossed. This app turns off wifi and does not turn it back on as advertised. Cost me 4 GB of data. I am filing a complaint with the FCC since this seems to be pervasive and has not been addressed by Comcast.

This app really sucks. It is installed by default and cannot be uninstalled. Just within the last few weeks it started automatically turning off my wifi whenever I would leave a network. The problem is that it doesn't ever turn it back on! So I end up blowing through a ton of data if I don't catch it. I think Xfinity is doing this on purpose to pump up data charges. If it continues, Xfinity is going to lose this customer.

Turns off WiFi, changes settings. After downloading the update I found that my WiFi turned off when not near a Xfinity hotspot or my home network. At that same time changing my settings from only over WiFi to automatic data. Which would cost me an enormous amount of data charges. This is Xfinitys way of charging for data when you have a low data plan. This should be looked into as a class action suit to prevent them from doing this to unsuspecting people.
