5/5News
Greetings I get to watch the news from my phone loving it smile

Shannon shear · 31 Jul 2026
1/5WAY too many notifications
One star just because the amount of notifications. The app itself is good and did not used to send so many notifications. I had to silence all notifications from this app because I was getting so many. There should at least be an option of what categories send notifications. 50+ a day is crazy. I get more notifications from this app than all my other apps combined. Please tone it down so I can turn notifications back on without being bombarded.

2/5Less notifications!!
Good app; way too many notifications. 162 notifications in the last week alone. Compare that to WCPO which sent 9. You need to better prioritize the local stories for what actually sends a push notification.

5/5Go to app
Always right to the point

Troken · 31 Jul 2026
1/5Not worth installing
Not sure why but far too many notifications of non-local stories. The app is Local 12, but too many posts on stories from out of state.
