4/5My Stream customization would be nice
Cool app that I use on my phone, but mostly on my TV. It would be nice if we could customize the My Stream feature. Like, maybe I just want a continuous loop of weather-related things (similar to the Weather Channel’s (old?) WeatherScan channel) on my TV while I’m doing stuff around the house…and not so much about what kinds of wine moms like best, or where to buy the best kombucha.

5/5Recommend it
The app is working so far, so good, and I also launched it on my Roku, but the one thing that I would love to see a here on the app, and that is AirPlay, I can airplay it to either my TV or my Roku, and, but one bug though that I’m having, and that is trying to watch a movie or a show on the app on my iPad, I go to the movies tab whenever I go to watch a movie, and when I click on the title of the movie, for some reason, it keeps saying, something went wrong, hopefully you guys can get that bug resolved, and also another problem, is that when I go to, add channels to my favorites, for some reason it won’t do it on my iPad, but it does it on my iPod touch, and also one thing that’s missing, is notifications, I would love to be notified, about breaking news in my area, or international news, and weather alerts, and would also love to be notified about new channels coming on the app, I love all the channels here on the app, keep it going, and keep updating the app, love, LocalNow,

5/5Quick AM news bites
I love this app! I always put it on my fire stick while getting ready for work in the morning. I really enjoy that it provides local news based on my location, and that it gives you a mixed variety of news clips to help you get the day started. I would like to suggest a feature where we could choose which categories we would like the app to focus on. For example: I would love to see more national news and tech news, and less cooking clips. Hopefully there could be a feature that includes this. Maybe add a voting feature for each of the clips and have the app remember what type of news you like and learn from those clips to then show more of the same after some time. Overall the app is great and I highly recommend. I would definitely pay $1-3 per month to remove ads.

3/5Always freezing and buffering
I love this app cause I drive for lyft, and I have a tv in my car. this news tells everything that’s going on in my city, plus weather. so when I pick up passengers that are visiting from other states. it shows them restaurants etc in the area ,and what they are rated as well . But my only problem is I have to keep restarting it over, because it would freeze on me, and buffer as well. It would pop up with a white screen, and stay on that screen while the audio sound of it, moves on to the next segment. If this problem could be fixed,it would definitely be a 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️s for me …

2/5Great app....but...
Love the app, but it sometimes reboots constantly on my tv..so much so that at times its just not worth it and I turn it off. I know you have to get your ads in there, but when you put an ad in for a movie...which should really be in the show biz/entertainment section...and the ad is several minutes long plus the additional time for the rebooting, and the fact that you show this ad at the beginning of every section you have ...it is super annoying and makes me want to turn it off. I really wish it worked better, as I love watching this app on the rare occasions that it works right.
