Comments on Spectrum News: Local Stories for Android

★★★★★ Diana Beeler · Jun 13, 2026
This is by far the best app. For local news here in Austin. It is very easy to navigate. The weather reports and radar are spot on!
★★★★★ MaryLou Capetillo · Apr 29, 2026
Very informative, thank you best thing Spectrum could very be done.
★★★★☆ Donald Urban · Mar 31, 2026
Great local and Statewide News. Possibly could you allow multiple location notifications. Please could you add your app to Android TV and Phillips R8G TV's
★★★★★ Betty Rhodes · Dec 24, 2025
I have no bad or good experience with this application new to the service provider in asking for help in guidance threw the way. Well my grandkids like watching those cartoons they really been learning in growing threw the way.
★☆☆☆☆ Nate · Mar 17, 2026
What a useless app. Don't give any information about why the internet has been down for 10 hours. Instead, give me weather and local news. Just mind-blowing
★☆☆☆☆ Dallas Lee · Aug 23, 2026
Stopped working was working perfectly on 8/22 in the am, then in the afternoon, when I opened the app, the main page showed when to error. Please try again later. Tried later, same thing. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and get the same error. Please Fix
★☆☆☆☆ lin dale · Jul 19, 2026
Terrible for radar. Loud and took away useful controls. All junk. Must sign initially then every 30 days. I don't want to watch news videos, just look at weather and radar. Used to be better.
★☆☆☆☆ A Guevara · Jul 31, 2026
TERRIBLE APP!! It told me to update the app I did then it said access restricted because I am under 13. I'm 57 years old and on the Spectrum mobile network.SMH DO BETTER SPECTRUM!!
