User Reviews

Users praise having Local 12 news access on mobile and the ability to quickly engage with concise local coverage, but repeatedly report major flaws: excessive push notifications, intrusive and repetitive ads, a lack of landscape orientation, stability issues after updates, and inconsistent local content updates.

Pros

Access to Local 12 news on a mobile device (local news content is available and appreciated).
Content is concise and to the point, making it easy to skim headlines.
Some reviewers enjoy watching Local 12 news on the app and find the coverage valuable.

Cons

Push notifications are overwhelming (dozens of alerts per day), with users requesting notification category controls.
Ads and ad videos are intrusive, frequent, and repetitive, interrupting reading/viewing.
The app is limited to portrait/vertical orientation and does not support landscape on iPad/tablet.
Update bugs cause crashes or launch failures and degrade performance over time.
Local news feed often fails to stay current, with some users reporting a shift to national news or outdated content.

Recent reviews

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.

Are you kidding me? You send us notifications for every single thing. It’s 3:30 pm and I got 40+ for just this part of the day. That includes notifications for entertainment news and don’t require us to be notified. I definitely don’t need to be notified about Mormon wife show and it is definitely NOT newsworthy. If you don’t fix it, I am turning off notifications from your app and deleting your widget. Based on reviews I see here, I am not alone, many people complain about this. You going to lose subscribers if that is not fixed.
