GFiber: The Google Fiber App

It’s really quite amazing how bad the search functionality is with this app (and Google Fiber itself). Example: The Oscars are tonight. I’m not home and wanted to record the show. Dare I try on e again to use this worthless app to find a show and record it? Oh, why not? I’ve got 29 minutes to kill. I found 14 “The Oscars” titles, NONE OF WHICH had any “upcoming airtimes” that I could set to record. I finally used the guide and just kept advancing hours until I found it. Why are there 14 “The Oscars” in the first place? Because Google wants you to know that there were Oscar ceremonies on TV in 1952 as well. Why does this matter? It doesn’t, but you still cannot find what you’re looking for and record it. What’s the point of a app like this? I dunno, ask every other cable provider. They seem to have their own issues, but finding a show that comes on TV six hours from now is not one of them. Google is exceptional at finding things. How can it be this horrible at the only task you’d need from an app like this? Answer: it’s okay. you have the same issues when searching from the Google Fiber set-top box.

I love this app because it's very accessible with voiceover. I can easily pay my bill, change my account settings, and update any information that needs to be updated as necessary with this app. As a visually impaired user, accessibility is very important to me, and it's nice to know that Google Fiber caters to each of their customers individual needs. Thank you Google Fiber for making such an accessible app that allows visually impaired customers to maintain and conduct their business with you.

I can't think of one thing that would make this App any better than it is. Instantly see the status of your network, wi-fi password, or reset your network box. One tap to perform a speed test? Yup. Account info and billing changes- just as easy. Best internet service with the most useful utility app ever. If only everything else was this easy!!

This app has everything I need. I love that they make it so easy to take a network speed test whenever you want. I now find myself testing my speeds on other wifi networks I use. The manage my bill portion is PERFECT. Literally, there is no loner a need to use a website for the full account stuff. The full account was built from the app up. It's great.

The best feature is the Restart function - the Google network box is the weakest link in Google's lousy internet service - we have to reboot our service at least daily if we want Internet. Google's been unable to correct the problem, so this app is handy for restarting the network box with Google's continual Internet service failures and when the TV boxes freeze. Didn't have this capability with TWC/Spectrum, but then again, they could provision reliable Internet service.
