Verizon Home for Android

Doesn't work 90% of the time while my device is working perfectly fine. Ridiculous app.

I am on a family plan with my father on verizon. Because he will not set up the account correctly and when I try it overnights my identity and everything will change to register under his name because of the ss number. My bank account, gaming accounts, social media and every other account that uses my cell number for two factor authentication. No matter the email without his cooperation I can’t use my verizon wireless phone because of it. I can’t get ownership of it without losing my 22 years of data keeping my accounts alive. I got Fios to try and find a way to do that and still can’t stop it from happening. So I used the Fios app and it worked keeping my accounts separate until it was retired. Using the my verizon app just created a problem that caused my account to lose the data and then turned it into a work number for him. This app was a good idea to finally solve the problem and access my router but it won’t let me use the digital secure and firewall options from home protect just the basic change password and reboot options. It is just useless for anything other than basic setup and the my verizon app does the same thing. It solves the control my router problem but that’s it. I don’t know what the point of this app is for but verizon has to fix the account issues with the owner overriding and giving the primary account owner everything if not registered properly. As soon as I used this app all the services went from fios to wireless and now my father pays for my services adding $20 to his bill. As for this app it controls my router and extender but not the security services and using wifi 6 mode won’t allow my phone to connect to control it. I had to use my Mobile with wifi 6 to get it back on the legacy settings. Verizon please turn this app into the new fios app or fix my account problem. The only good thing about this app is it didn’t turn my Mobile into a new device for my father but it did turn a bionic chip device into an Android based on Google my Mobile pro is a Android so I used an m1 Mobile and problem solved. This is like every other verizon app use it on a tablet and it becomes a phone. I would log into my account and router except the same thing happens my father gets ownership. Home is only useful for controlling your router it can’t setup the equipment as advertised not entirely useless but I really need a solution to the account problem. My verizon app on my tablet has caused Google to mistake it for a cellular enabled device and this app on my phone lets me control the basics. Last is how often it crashes and freezes. I am reviewing this to ensure verizon knows they have ruined my accounts and my ss number on fios did nothing but turn my phone into a work device for my father and my tablet into a phone registered with the home number. This has happened so much that they know it is happening and this app fixes nothing. Unless you already setup your devices this app is useless and keep it off a tablet unless you want it to be a phone.

This is a very nice approach and very helpful app to create groups to use parental control to manage the name of your Wi-Fi to do a speed test and much more options. I really like it thank you for making the app. Keep up the good work, Verizon. Need to add advance options

When I first installed the app it was completely useless, immediately erroring out when opening up with a page that says “looks like something went wrong”. However, with help from the support team, they suggested a restart my router after which the app started functioning properly. The UI is nice and there’s some nice features here like a speed test on the router itself as well as the ability to share WiFi information via qr code. Sometimes the initial loading is a bit slow so definitely room for improvement there. Additionally, I caused the app to crash by checking the history of the speed test before running a successful speed test (although I did try to run a speed test and near the very end it just failed). Overall, no longer useless and I’ll definitely be using it to share the WiFi at the very least.

My existing My Verizon credentials failed. Get account locked message. They work fine on all other Verizon apps and websites. Support was useless. They wanted me to change password. I’ll wait until they fix their single sign on.
