Spectrum News: Local Stories for Negative User Reviews

✓ Bull$#*& SurveyDon’t know whose bright idea it was to immediately after loading a new app to ask for a rating, but they should be fired. How can anyone give a proper answer if they have not used your service or the app? But an answer could be “Spectrum is going to get a lot of good ratings because anyone who is getting the app must have good thoughts about us”. So if every time I go to this app I get this rating popup, Spectrum et al. is getting 1star..AnonUGAVersion: 2.0.24

✓ Weather radarI’m sorry but the new weather radar is horrible. Why did you even have to change it? The rest of the app of fine. But what I use it for most is for the weather radar and I will have to find some other app to use now which is sad..RidleyAnnVersion: 2.0.24

✓ Spectrum AppReally don’t care for the new Spectrum/Bat News 9 app that we were forced to update too. The Bay news 9 app alone was easy to navigate and never had issues while using it. Getting to our local weather was easy to access and see the map in a stationary position and or choose to see the Doppler Radar in action. This new app isn’t very user friendly, it’s confusing and over all plain. The work needed to be put towards having more anchors on the news so we don’t hear the same news stories over, and over and over daily. Thanks, but no thanks..-GodsGirl-Version: 2.0.24

✓ IOS Incompatible APP -Ipad’s older than 4 years are not capable of updating IOS above 12.5, either renew the license for the previous version or make this app compatible. Our 2 units are brand new, however under the apple battery exchange program, the replaced units are built to the identical specifications of the units exchanged. Therefore allowing the IOS specificities to follow suit! Now that you know that, there are not many units with reduced IOS Capabilities going out to pasture, there is a need for older IOS platform apps. Apple does not exchange batteries, they exchange the unit to new, not refurbished, identical units, in the event that your theory is they will fade away after their 5 year life span!.FPinTXVersion: 2.0.11

✓ Push Notification BugWhenever I receive a Push Notification from the Spectrum News App about a breaking/developing story, I click on the notification to read the story, and 100% of the time I am directed to a page telling me to sign in for access to Spectrum News. Even though I am already signed in. I hit the back button within the app, and then I’m on the front page News. I can see the articles, because I’m already signed in. I then have to use the search function within the app to look for the article, and just hope I remember enough key words to find the article, which is not always accomplishable. I’m hoping that, one day, I will be able to click on a Spectrum News Push Notification and then immediately be taken to the associated article..NimafuVersion: 2.6

✓ Weather photo upload needs improvementPrior versions allowed a one time entry of name and email. This version requires re entry of name and email every time a pic is uploaded. Plus, last name is a mandatory field. I don’t want my last name publicized. Please make last name optional! Re entering all data with every upload is a pain. Save first and and email fields per device..Sand keyVersion: 2.0.24

✓ REALLY missing the old weather mapI live in the Tampa Bay Area, and my old Bay News 9 app was recently converted to this one. I frequently used the old app for the Klystron 9 weather map, as it was super precise and accurate… but this new weather map is SO choppy and hard to see when the rain is predicted to hit my specific area. PLEASE PLEASE integrate the old Bay News 9 weather map into this app!! This one is as useless as all the other weather maps available online..Lauren88888888Version: 2.0.24

✓ Better than mostIt’s a decent news app. The two problems are: the sports section is not updated often enough, the same stories are there multiple days and some articles in the news section only lead to an advertisement for the app itself one can’t actually read the article...Prs999Version: 2.0.6

✓ Weather radar needs fixingI mainly use this app to check the live weather, however the radar focus mostly tries to show you the future movement of storms rather than letting you rewind and see where the storms are coming from and the way they’ve been moving. It always starts with the live radar feed and jumps ahead and I wish it would let you rewind so you can make a better determination of where a storm is headed. The predictive radar it gives isn’t very accurate either. The old app was much better for radar..JokernojokinVersion: 2.0.26

✓ HTTP PROXY UNSUPPORTEDI just left a review and unfortunately couldn’t remember the error message I continue to receive whenever opening your App. Please help. I love Spectrum1 News. I receive all the notifications but unsuccessful at actually getting to read your news stories. Spectrum is my Cable/WiFi-Landline Phone Carrier as well. I have no issue in successfully connecting to Spectrum1 Weather; thank goodness. Is anyone able to advise me on fixing the issue I’m having? I deleted the App. Went to the App Store; downloaded again & I thought “Finally I’ll have my issue resolved”. Not !!! Thank you for any advice. At 70 I suppose I’m not quite as Tech Savvy. I have MS/Multiple Sclerosis, Widowed, unable to drive & spend all of my time at home other than Dr visits. I really like to keep up on the latest News. I don’t want to go to another News Station App. 😔 Hoping anyone can advise me. 🙏🏻.LadyBereness (SUDAN)Version: 2.9

✓ No longer able to upgrade on older Apple products using iOS 12!Unfortunately....I get a message in my iPad Mini to upgrade to the new App. However, the upgrade fails because this device is not designed by Apple’s Planned Obsolescence Group, to upgrade to iOS 13. Perhaps your developers could address that issue. iPad works fine and really not planning to buy a new one right now. Guess I’ll use local TV station apps instead!!! Hope you figure out a solution..Dogman26Version: 2.0.6

✓ One word..awfulI used to have the news 13 app for many years and I loved it. Then spectrum took over. I went into settings and adjusted my preferences to what news alerts I want to receive. That was 4 months ago. I have yet to receive an alert. Now when you want to read a story you have to sign in. Ridiculous. It’s bad enough that like every news channel out there 13 has become very biased but now I have to put up with signing in so I can be monitored. So me and my family have deleted the app from our phones. Done..Hungry in MelbourneVersion: 2.0.26

✓ UnbelievableI can’t believe that this is considered a “good enough” replacement to the spectrum news 13 app. “The new app has all of the same features as the old one” no it does not spectrum, I can no longer see the amazing radar that use to update every minute and was VERY accurate and VERY useful and VERY helpful! My job requires me going in and out of buildings often & traveling to different locations constantly and I would use the news 13 radar to see where the storms are to know what to expect when to expect it and what route to alter. NOT ANYMORE! The new radar is AWFUL and does not show you every minute, it is impossible to get it to show you anything useful.. this app IS in fact nice but only nice for news.. NOT local news/weather. I am giving this 1 star for the lack of radar support & for the FORCED change over without having a suitable replacement..Lazzy2332Version: 2.0.23

✓ Not nearly as good as the previous app.We do construction and the previous app allowed us to put in several addresses so we could watch our open jobs as storms came through. It plotted each one on the map. I would give this a 5 star review if we could do that..DeckgalcatVersion: 2.0.24

✓ Please bring back the old Spectrum appThe app takes 90 seconds to 3 minutes to open on my iPad and takes longer on Galaxy S9. The weather radar takes forever to work the you have to work for 3 minutes until you can see the direction of the storm’s travel. The old Spectrum weather radar worked just fine in May 2021, but after being forced to download the new app in June 2021 I’m about ready to find a new weather app..Ssaint77Version: 2.0.24

✓ Miss the old appThis app has potential but I really miss the old News 13 app. This new app doesn’t have a good radar. They barely ever report on the weather. They will make one report at 6am and leave it up all day. I want hour by hour weather reports on whats going to happen throughout the day. The new weather radar glitches all the time. And not to mention they’re such a biased news network. They need to be reporting on the truth instead of what toilet paper Fauci uses. Fix your app and start doing the right thing..JillyGtheWalkingQueenVersion: 2.0.22

✓ Great App but I can’t loginThis is a great app that I love to use to keep up with local news but for the past few weeks I haven’t been able to login so I cannot view any content. I’ll get a notification, click on it to view, and when the app opens it asks me to sign in with my spectrum service logins. When I input my logins it says they’re invalid. (They’re not because I can log in to spectrum to pay my bill) I’ve spoken with spectrum customer service who are, as usual, incredibly unhelpful. They told me to delete the app and re download which I have done a few times and I still run into the issue. I’m not one to usually leave reviews but I’m not sure how else to let someone know that I’m having this issue and hope for a possible solution. I would really love to view the news again but I’m getting to the point where I’ll just have to use a different app- please help!.CareBereVersion: 2.0.20

✓ This app is terrible.I was forced to move to this app from my local station app and absolutely hate it. The weather section is terrible; the radar map is so glitchy it’s unusable. I was only using a spectrum news app to have easy and quick access to my local station weather reports with notifications (which are also buggy) so I have zero use for this app and will be deleting it..BneyyVersion: 2.0.23

✓ The app will not work on Spectrum network?I have Spectrum for phone, TV, and internet but when I downloaded the new app, I get an error message that the HTTP Proxy is not supported. It tells me I must log off and open the app without being logged into my internet account. It’s a Spectrum app and it can’t work if I’m connected to Spectrum internet!? When I try to get support for their app, I get the run around and no one seems to be able to assist. I’m told to disconnect and the app will work so what’s the problem? I’ll keep the old app, never had an issue with it!!!.NoalaniVersion: 2.0.4

✓ Horrible!Absolutely horrible, way to much to complain about, and not enough time to write. They want you to sign in every time just to use the app, lack luster weather page (for a news station that prides themselves on weather) that doesn’t even include wind speeds anymore like the old app did, no marine forecast, etc. Just a horrible app, but hey “it looks cool” and completely not worth the download. The old app was waaaaaay waaaaaay better! Don’t waste your time with this crap, the unreliable IPhone weather is better, and that’s saying something.RickHarrison81Version: 2.0.23

✓ News stories often glitchI installed this app for news and weather. The weather function is great. The news leaves a lot to be desired. I often tap on a notification about a news story, only to have the app not load the story. It just takes me to the Home Screen of the app. It doesn’t even list the article in the app. This happens with brand new notifications. It’s frustrating to be offered a story by this news app, then not be able to access it or find it anywhere in the app. I guess I’ll find another app for news and turn off notifications for Spectrum’s app..Kodora👤Version: iOS App 2.10
