User Reviews
this app could use some major improvement every time I go to watch my local news. It will never start at the beginning. it normally starts at the end of the last broadcast or what’s available. it also sometimes starts in the middle in order to see it start. I have to watch several. advertisements then I try to start it at the beginning and it makes me watch advertisements. then it’ll go to the very end of the broadcast and make me watch more and more advertisements if I’m lucky enough, I’ll get to watch the latest local news broadcast but most of the time I’m not lucky enough to even be able to stream my local news.
Found this app and now able to watch Local News in Sacramento while living in San Francisco which wasn’t available to me before on any TV service in my area! Love it!!!
Ain't nothing like being informed! This is right on time. I use this app daily.
Good access to catchup on missed news
I am so lucky to have this app. I appreciate that I can watch the news on my time and keep up-to-date all through the day with the best news crew around thank you.
Ever wonder what an app would be like, if created by a GED-level coding school dropout? Well here ya go
Every morning and evening wouldn’t watch Very Local so we don’t have to mess. What’s going on in our world at home thank you very much for this. It’s awesome. Awesome. Awesome😉
would not recommend unless you want to watch their shows or documentaries or whatever all day which does nothing with news or weather
This app has improved a lot over time. However, I refuse to use it again until those dumb game app slot machine ads are gone. They are awful.
The very loud constant gambling commercials have this app just about unbearable. I’ll be looking for other ways to watch my morning news because suffering through being screamed at about stupid gambling apps every 5 minutes isn’t worth it anymore.
Great 👍 job just needs more of what’s current nationally.
Patriot game was not on just channel 9 logo
