Second the stuff that they claim that their broadcasting live doesn't even match. What's on off air television let alone cable or satellite why the different multi broadcast with different programming? ### 3/5 — No Live Stream *2024-07-25, version 7.5* There isn’t any live stream. It’s just pre-recorded clips. When on the live stream all it shows is “We will be back shortly”. They never come back ☹️ ### 3/5 — Who taught these people how to write? *2020-06-26, version 6.30* While I think this app does a good job of covering a variety of stories, the grammar and number of typographical errors are HORRENDOUS. ### 4/5 — Toon many of the same Ads *2020-03-25, version 6.30* It’s a great app for reading about local news but there are way too many Ads. It wouldn’t be so bad if they at least advertised different things. I’m tired of seeing Ads for “cleaning earwax”. EVERY ad is about cleaning earwax. C’mon..... ### 5/5 — Great Video Coverage *2018-04-09, version 6.15* I love how much videos there is to accompany the reports! Professional and seems to always be on the scene. The app always alerts me right away about important information. ### 5/5 — Love it!! *2018-03-21, version 6.15* Great App!! Love the breaking news alerts! Best news app there is!! ### 4/5 — Good news *2017-11-04, version 6.14* Good news but the app takes a bit to update sometimes and or crashes. Informative. ### 5/5 — Great up to date app! *2017-09-20, version 6.13* Love having current news at my fingertips from my favorite news crew, Channel 13! ### 5/5 — Easy to read news *2017-09-06, version 6.13* Easy to read the news of the day. Helpful notifications of breaking news and traffic issues ### 5/5 — News Coverage *2017-08-05, version 6.12* Excellent reporting and coverage of all topics and breaking news. Way to go ladies and guys ❤️U🤗 ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2017-07-23, version 6.12* Easy to see exactly what's going on the valley, fast. ### 3/5 — Lots of sad news notifications; but great app otherwise *2017-04-21, version 6.10* My favorite Vegas News app - clean, simple, no mess app without the advertisements 👍 Breaking news notifications are great, but EVERYDAY it's someone got shot or stabbed. Would be nice to mix it up once in a while. ### 5/5 — User *2017-04-20, version 6.10* Great app and news ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 99% Corporate Propaganda *2024-05-06, version 7.5* This app is worthless. It’s nothing but corporate right-wing propaganda from the SCRIPPS overlords and advertising for the stupid hockey team. I’d give it ZERO stars if it were an option! ### 1/5 — Fail *2023-04-26, version 6.44* I subscribed to the premium service in order to access local news. Since they killed this I now get lengthy commercials instead of local news and I get confusing messages about viewing news clips that gives me tiny screen images after another commercial. Also follow up news seems to never happen. ### 1/5 — Fail *2021-12-24, version 6.43* I subscribed to the premium service in order to access local news. Since they killed this I now get commercials instead of local news. ### 1/5 — Unprofessional and Incompetent Reporting *2019-07-06, version 6.21* The amount of typographical and grammar errors in the stories posted in this news app are utterly embarrassing. Just one superficial example of how little this (fake) news agency cares about properly doing their job. They should stick to what they are good at; i.e. reposting casino and state propaganda. ### 1/5 — Uninstalling, too many ads! *2017-11-12, version 6.14.1* When you want to view news you shouldn’t have to watch the same attorney for 29 to 30 seconds before viewing the news piece. Terrible changes. Now uninstalling. ### 1/5 — On iOS 11 *2017-10-08, version 6.13* The videos have adds playing while the newscasters are talking on the app. You can’t shut the adds off. When you swipe right to view the breaking news it goes black and shuts the app off ### 1/5 — Watch an ad or answer questions just to see news?!? *2017-06-15, version 6.12* NO THANK YOU! I understand watching one or two ads here and there, but literally watching a 30 second Glen Lerner ad just to watch a 20 second story is ABSURD! Talk about a sick money grab! ### 1/5 — Failed Push Notifications *2017-03-06, version 6.9* I'll receive a push notification for the usual "person shot on MLK", and when I go to tap it nothing comes up other than a blank page. ### 1/5 — What happened to the live stream??? *2016-10-24, version 6.8* If it ain't broke... ### 1/5 — I'm deleting it right now😡 *2016-04-23, version 6.4* I understand that commercials pay for things we get for free. But to watch news that is important information for all of us to know,(like the police needing the communities help identifying a robbery suspect)you are forced to watch a 15-20second commercial..also when they send you a notification and you swipe it so you can read it, it does not take you directly to that link. You have to sort through every other news story if its even there. This app needs work..don't waste your time. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Channel 13 is the BEST News station in Vegas! *2022-05-08, version 6.44* Love this app Channel 13 always has the most up to the minute News articles. All stations claim it but 13 Action News actually IS the real deal! ### 5/5 — My go to app *2022-03-14, version 6.44* The first thing I open on my iPhone when I wake up. I live in Las Vegas and I check 13 Action News several times a day to see what’s happening around town! Love it. ### 5/5 — VEGAS 5 STAR SHOW *2022-01-21, version 6.43* This app is really a 5 Star! It has everything that I need to know and be kept informed on in a nice format that is not confusing or intimidating to use. If all other news apps were this good… I would be using them instead. ### 5/5 — Very informative App *2021-02-07, version 6.35* Easy to read and always up to the minute news. ### 5/5 — Best local news app for Las Vegas *2021-02-05, version 6.35* I’ve tried so many local news apps that I didn’t like due to excessive ads in addition to excessive and inappropriate notifications. Many apps were just plain poorly designed. This app works perfectly and does a great job of just notifying me of news that happens without adding commentary into the mix, which I appreciate. I also paid the $10.99 per year for the ad free experience and I feel it’s worth every penny. ### 5/5 — Review *2020-11-20, version 6.33* Like the variety, such as dirty dining and the different news that the other channels don’t report. ### 5/5 — Honesty *2020-03-25, version 6.30* Relevant local news, not bias. Fair and detailed about what they report. I watch a few other city’s and Las Vegas should be proud of this station, other city’s new are very one sided (on the West Coast) Enjoy there honesty and professionalism. ### 5/5 — Best fo Current Las Vegas News *2019-11-07, version 6.24* Best app for current and up to date Las Vegas and Nevada news. ### 5/5 — InGodwetrust *2018-06-01, version 6.17* It is an excellent app. Easy to read and find updated news. ### 5/5 — News - current and past - at your fingertips *2018-05-29, version 6.15* Intuitive to use. Informative as well as a great catalog of current and past stories. Didn’t have time to tune in or record, get updated here - wherever you are. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
