1. [R2] Spectrum News 5/5 · US Love this!: I like being able to see detailed weather information like the dew point and I like watching the live video feed as well.
2. [R17] Spectrum News 5/5 · US Weather Radar is Excellent: I really like your interactive radar especially the history/present time view and the projected one time forecast which in my location have proven to be remarkedly reliable. Great job!
3. [R61] WHIO News 1/5 · US Worst news app ever: I’ve never seen a worse app on any platform. It’s nothing but ads that block what you try to see, stutter, stop you reading a story, and just generally get in the way of anything you want to do. Whio used to be my go-to. Not anymore.
4. [R63] WHIO News 3/5 · US Update: Often you run stories that are old. Same with the weather. I suggest you update more often. Thank you.
5. [R6] Spectrum News 3/5 · US OK News: Slightly Better than fake news and no irritating ads. And you get local weather. The app has a simple clean layout and is a breeze to use. The best I have found. Thanks Spectrum.
6. [R40] Spectrum News 5/5 · US News Needed!!: It’s always relevant and important! I appreciate that and pops up without me having to search for it because I am a very busy mom and working woman so I thank you Spectrum News!!
7. [R64] WHIO News 1/5 · US Horrible UI/UX and News Coverage: As a mobile developer I can attest to many of the comments on the user experience front. You receive a notification, tap on it, you are brought to the app but not the story, instead ads are everywhere takes forever to load and the auto playing of unrelated content is absolutely horrible. Good luck finding the arrival of the deep link isn’t valid. Don’t waste your
8. [R117] WHIO News 1/5 · US Glitchy: This app is terrible. Videos don’t play, when opened from a notification it sits and spins and says there has been an error. What is the point of having an application for the news when you can’t read or watch said news.
9. [R5] Spectrum News 5/5 · US Great: I really like Spectrum News. Updates throughout the day
10. [R42] Spectrum News 5/5 · US Spectrum news: I appreciate the daily news from spectrum. It is always up to date and concise. Thank you
11. [R67] WHIO News 1/5 · US Do better: Not impressed with your news reporting techniques and skills these days.
12. [R96] WHIO News 3/5 · US Old news: They leave stories on home page up for weeks. Need to be updated more often.
13. [R91] WHIO News 1/5 · US Too Many Ads: Sad that you have to sit through minutes of ads before you can actually get a weather forecast. I never actually got through the ads to see my forecast. Seek weather info elsewhere.
14. [R14] Spectrum News 5/5 · US We will miss Spectrum: We’ve been with Spectrum for about nine years, excellent reception and customer service. Unfortunately Spectrum did not offer our community a new contract so within a few months, we will be forced to go back to FIOS. Not as good as Spectrum.
15. [R112] WHIO News 5/5 · US Good and helpful: Has always been reliable and informs me on things near me. Reports always helpful such a crashes
16. [R111] WHIO News 1/5 · US App doesn’t work: The app used to be great but recently the app stopped working and won’t even open.
17. [R79] WHIO News 2/5 · US Worst weather forecast: Britley called for 3 inches, but we didn’t get 3 tenths.
