Rogers Xfinity App for Fire Stick (not Shaw)

sdcox
I've been around

I have 2 new Amazon Fire Stick 4K Max.  Tried to set both up this week.  Tried to download Rogers Xfinity App (Red background - not Shaw) and get a message “unavailable”.  When I check compatibility, I get a message device is compatible.  I see in the forum many others seem to be having the same issue since the beginning of 2025.  I even tried purchasing the app on the Amazon store, then syncing the fire stick with the Amazon store and was still unsuccessful.

Can you please help?  Thank you

Everyone is having this issue, but Rogers has yet to acknowledge it.

To me Its clear they don't allow it to work on a firestick for Rogers customers in order to rent the boxes out for $15/month.

But they did for a month or so during December.  Something has changed in the last week or so.  I bought a new Firestick and I installed this app on Dec 27.

For those that installed this app in Dec, are you able to download recordings from the cloud for offline viewing? That functionality is listed as a product feature as per the app store but appears to be missing from the menus.

Just signed my mother up two days ago and was specifically directed by Sales to use a Fire TV Stick instead of renting a box.

One box is included with the service. 2nd and more can be rented.

Yes, and Sales said 'save the $17 rental on second box and use our app on FireTV Stick instead'

Same here, just two days ago had a Rogers employee specifically recommend buying an Amazon Fire Stick to replace my rented entertainment box i was looking to return due to the rental price hike.

 

now that I have the FireStick it looks like the Rogers app cant be downloaded in 2025. Do better Rogers, get this fixed and stop being sketchy
