  1. 5/5I’m a former news anchor...

    I can’t tell you my delight that I found Spectrum 1. Well honestly it wasn’t that hard because every time I turn on the television that’s the first thing that comes on. I turn the television on to watch a program but I end up staying for Spectrum news. I’m impressed with everything about it.. it feels as comfortable as your favorite jeans and just as reliable… Especially in this day and age of conjecture an opinion, Spectrum 1 delivers the news clearly and without bias, just the way I like it… The entertainment packages are excellent.I also love the different reporters ,anchors and personalities… I’m here to stay . Thank you Spectrum news.

  2. 1/5Bias

    Spectrum News seems unable to breathe a single word absent bias against President Trump. Almost every sentence conflates fact with opinion. It seems your writers either don’t know how to report information distinct from opinion or, they think all of us out here can’t tell the difference. I’m beginning to believe that almost everyone who writes in the public square has this thing that has come to be called, “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” I am weary of defending a president with whom I disagree so much. However, the way you do your job is more harmful than helpful, because the way you report the news distorts the difference between fact and opinion, and therefore distorts reality itself. Yes, you are destroying reality every time you write. I’m not discouraged, though, because ontology (what’s real) will always went out over autonomy (what you write). Reality is still what is real, and what you write is still fiction, no matter how loudly you crow it.

  3. 5/5A very positive service for subscribers

    I like the news people and the weather people. Both divisions seem to be believable and honest and I have a sense that they are actually reporting rather than editorializing. I think this is a truly great service and I enjoy knowing that what I’m finding out about Ohio is at least reasonable and believable. I think all of the folksThat I have watched are enjoyable as well. They relate to me as a viewer and in many ways most of them seem to be talking directly to me which is a wonderful attribute

  4. 1/5Unbelievable

    I 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.

  5. 1/5HTTP PROXY UNSUPPORTED

    I 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. 🙏🏻
