Spectrum News 13 App Reviews

Error fetching information message is strange because there are current headlines on startup even tho you get that error message yet when you go to read an article the error message appears before the article loads

Wonderful Weather map and the storm alerts are fantastic!

Wont allow location to set and keep.

Happy to add another local weather app and radar to my phone, too bad its not working. Dont know if its my new iOS8 but not working at all. Fix and I will try again.

Saw ad on Twitter marketing this as the only app with "live" radar. Not true. Radar updates seem to be 3-5 minutes apart..just like every other app.

This new app. is decent with many useful features, but it is a real battery hog. When the location setting is turned on, the battery drains way too fast. But the location setting is needed to make the alert features useful. Even with the location setting turned off, the app. appears to drain the battery even when the app. is not active. I will remove the app. until it is revised to be more battery friendly.

the information wont load... it has only worked once.

News 13 offers many news stories on a variety of topics. I get much of my local and state news and weather from News 13. I wanted and expected to like the app. Alas, Im disappointed with the News 13 Plus app. I clicked on all the news stories. Each one loads the News 13 actual web site, ads and all. The text is very small and impossible to read without pinch and zoom in my iPhone. Additionally, the app does not allow for the user to double tap the screen to auto adjust the text. Additionally, the radar weather appears to be a snapshot or screenshot from their web site. The radar is not live. Other local news outlets offer apps with content within the native app and live radar. News 13 needs to transform its news and weather content to work in the native app and not act as a link to its web site. I will check back occasionally for fixes. In the meantime, Ill get my news and weather elsewhere (at lest on my iPhone).

I can not get this app to work. The first time I try to open it it comes up but no data and I cant click on anything. Every other time I try to open it all I get is the front loading screen. Useless waste of space on my already full phone.

Nothing on this app worked how it should at all, I deleted it within 30 minutes.

Graphics look nice but none of the stories will load...was this released too soon? Old app was really basic but worked. Please fix this...

I added this app to my phone the day it launched & it sounded like a great idea. Well, it would be if it worked. I have never been able to get it to load, not once! Guess its time to delete it. Good idea news13 but horrible execution.

The app worked fine the first time I opened it and I was excited to have local news and weather at the tip of my finger, but the second time I opened it the app froze. I closed it and then tried to open again and it crashed---perpetually crashed! I am running iOS 6.1.3 with my iPhone 4S. This app has promises but it is "bugged"!!!

I think there should be a setting to see where cold fronts are and more advanced storm tracking settings other than that its a great app and I would recommend it to all my friends and family!

I downloaded this app but I cant even open it.

Why sell add space? It takes up screen space and is annoying - for that alone I will not use this app. The Stormtracker 13 layers do not work or update on the maps but all the other layers do - one would think your layer that the app is named after would at least work - weather channel app is a lot better and updates well.

Completely cloudy here on the east coast and both Merritt Island and Cocoa Beach say clear. Who updates this thing!!

What happened to safety net? I used it a whole bunch!!! Also, the ads are super annoying and the radar is not accurate sometimes...

I usually dont write bad app reviews but this needs some work. The app seems to be a responsive front door linking to a back end that is definitely not optimized for mobile. It is very annoying to see an article headline only to class clown through and the fonts be so small it is unreadable. Safari does a better job adjusting the pages than this!

Crashes-will not open. Worthless.
