Would welcome more positive and heartwarming stories. ### 2/5 — Sound cuts out *2024-11-20, version 46.4.1* Sound repeatedly cuts out on a lot of days. So annoying I turn it off. It’s a shame, because when it’s working, it’s pretty good. ### 5/5 — Good job Mark Curtis! *2024-07-17* Great job Mark in the “interview” With Kari Lakes. You worked hard to keep her to the truthful present but all she wanted to talk about was the junk she has been talking about for the past 3+ years. Like a broken record she just goes on and on and talks about untruths. Arizona does not need leaders like her. Thanks for being a great Leader for News 12! ### 5/5 — Griffin *2024-07-15, version 46.3.1* Griffin ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-07-05, version 46.3.1* Love. ### 5/5 — Tina *2024-03-30* I love this station! I’ve watched it steadily since 1983 when I moved to Scottsdale. I live up by Sedona now but still stream it on my fire stick ! Love Mom Squad ! Even thought I’m a grandma now! Wish my daughter could see it down in the Valley but it changes to Good morning America down there on Cable. Sometimes I’ve recorded their helpful info for her with my phone😊❤️ ### 5/5 — Love 12 *2024-02-14, version 46.0.2* Wish I could watch to stream. Great News & TV ### 5/5 — 12 news *2024-02-14, version 46.0.2* It’s nice to be in the know for AZ-love the people Who work for 12 news! ### 5/5 — Up to the second news *2024-02-11, version 46.0.2* I stay informed with 12 news ### 5/5 — I enjoy Ch. 12 *2024-02-11, version 46.0.2* I’ve been watching Ch. 12 for many years. I like the format for the news and weather. The reporters are great. ### 3/5 — News alert *2024-02-10, version 46.0.2* Got my cell set up on notifications, likes when 12 sends out news or weather alerts ### 5/5 — Channel 12 *2024-02-10, version 46.0.2* Best news station in the Valley! Awesome News casters!! ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-12-13, version 45.30.3* Fantastic source of local news ### 5/5 — Facts and awareness! *2023-11-13, version 45.30.3* Absolutely love this app! Very wonderful about upcoming events and let you in the know of weather, sports and things around our state ! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Garbage *2025-09-29, version 46.5.3* Man, there are some clunky slow apps out there but this one takes the cake. Slow, unresponsive and incredibly frustrating to use just attempting simple tasks like selecting a live video stream or replay… pathetic. Did a 10 year old create this app? ### 1/5 — Typical Fake News *2025-08-13, version 46.5.3* Too bad the mainstream media and television have lost the ability to just present the news -unbiased truth ### 1/5 — Fake news *2025-06-25, version 46.5.3* Fake news. Too bad you at least require one star ### 1/5 — Turned to garbage *2025-01-09, version 46.4.1* Deleted as soon as they started with pop up Chevrolet adds. I want news not adds that just pop up. If more people delete and review they will stop doing it. ### 1/5 — Bad app design *2024-08-09, version 46.4.1* Why is this app so ugly? It’s like an ad-ridden web page. Needs to be like the NBC 5 Chicago app, at least that feels like a legitimate effort. ### 1/5 — Commercials too loud *2023-12-12, version 45.30.3* The app is fine and streams the 12news content. The problem is everytime a commercial comes on, the volume increases significantly. I end up playing a game of turning the volume way down for commercials and way up when the news comes back on. This would be an easy fix since most other channels stopped doing that years ago. ### 1/5 — crashes on open *2021-11-20, version 43.9.3* last update causes it to crash. on. open on original. ipad air ### 1/5 — Arizona Midday - Nuvell Clinics *2019-02-04* Buyer beware of ads on AZ Midday by Nuvell Clinics as they are a scam. I paid almost 5k for their V Shape treatments and it didn’t work at all. When I returned after my final treatment, they didn’t care there we’re no results and kept trying to sell me more treatments. Their entire staff has turned over in the few months of my treatments and one of them told me she was leaving because they keep scamming people. I don’t know why AZ Midday would keep putting them on when they know it’s a scam. Nuvell Clinics reviews show many unsatisfied V Shape clients but they quickly try to get rid of bad reviews by having probably the same employees or family write a glowing review of Cheryl. NUVELL CLINICS is a SCAM ### 1/5 — Unnecessary push notifications *2018-07-07, version 4.30.410039222* I feel that I'm bothered by unnecessary push notifications about unimportant news continuously! Someone in charge should use better judgement about what is deemed as "urgent news" and news I could read later. Eleven notifications a day is too excessive! I'm also not amused with the most recent adding of photos with these push notifications. ### 1/5 — No actual news items *2017-11-18, version 4.26.070032122* Not sure what happened to this app. Been using it awhile and all of a sudden the format has changed and there are no text news articles. I though it became corrupt so deleted and reinstalled to my iPhone 6s and the results were the same. This app is no longer of any use to me. They just couldn't leave well enough alone. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — News *2026-07-13, version 50.15.4* Fast news right on my phone ### 5/5 — Good News *2026-02-23* Always update news, your like family. I know your names who’s pregnant who leaves and who comes back. I’m 79 years old, but not a morning person. So I watch more evening news, and the Chicago’s. ### 5/5 — Better than our local WBRZ affiliate *2025-10-01* I originally downloaded the app to watch all the Charlie Kirk stuff which our local affiliate wasn’t showing including the funeral. But in the days leading up to and following the funeral I realized this network’s national and regional news was a lot more timely and comprehensive so I left it on my phone and I like getting the headline news. ### 5/5 — Grandson lived there *2025-09-09, version 46.5.3* I am in Georgia. My grandson is in Phoenix, Arizona. His dad is a truck driver. He died Friday night after his team driver ran my grandson go to college there so this is why it's important that I keep up with the news in that area ### 5/5 — 5 stars *2025-07-04, version 46.5.3* Best channel for latest news ### 5/5 — Best news *2025-03-31, version 46.5.3* Best news station on planet earth!!! ### 5/5 — Devoted viewer 😊 *2025-03-02, version 46.5.3* I’ve been a devoted viewer for over 25 years and continue to watch the news. Mr. Mark Curtis is the best, I’ve always admired that mustache 😉and of course his nightly reporting of the news along with all the rest of the crew !! Great job 👏 ### 5/5 — Great news source! *2025-01-18* I watch 12 News on a regular basis. I like the connection that you have with your audience and deliver factual news. Arizona will be my home someday-I watched through the app from Wa State. Thanks 12 News! :) ### 5/5 — Like 12 news *2025-01-13, version 46.5.2* Always have always will It’s the best ### 5/5 — W.W.J.D. *2024-11-19, version 46.4.1* LOVE --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
