User Reviews

Users repeatedly cite major live-streaming problems after updates (login failures, broken streams, and inability to watch live). Beyond streaming, there are complaints about a clunky UI, unreliable content access (missing current/newscasts), and added branding changes. While some positives show up (free access, presence of headlines/video content, and acknowledgment of the on-air team), the recurring theme centers on reliability and usability issues that significantly impact morning-viewing routines.

Pros

Live streaming is a core feature of the app and is frequently referenced by users.
The app provides headlines and other video content in addition to live video.
The app is free to use, which some users value.

Cons

Live streaming is frequently broken or unavailable, with login failures after updates and general streaming errors preventing viewing.
Updates have introduced bugs that degrade usability (e.g., login flow broken, video links not working).
Users report missing or delayed current live content and limited access to earlier newscasts, reducing reliability for on-the-go viewing.
The app is described as clunky, inefficient, and inconsistent in performance, leading to a poor user experience.
Branding changes (Fox to Queen City News) frustrate some users and drive dissatisfaction with the app.

Recent reviews

They finally had the live stream working and it was great! Then, the update required a login (no big deal) but it doesn’t work. Every time you enter an email address to receive the login link, it says ‘login failed’ and there is no way to watch the live stream. Come on guys - at least test the thing before you push an update that breaks it!

What's the use of having a news app that doesn't show earlier newscasts that you couldn't watch live. 3-2-1...DELETE!!

Have been watching you via my Spectrum app when I get ready in the morning but may be getting rid of them so went back to your app only to realize when I press Watch Now it is showing me the news from 5 or 6a rather than the current morning news. PLEASE fix this or I literally may not be able to watch you anymore :)
