Watch what I want

Since it’s not in my area, RI; I wanted to watch Fort Myers, FL, but it won’t let me. I have to watch Boston. Not happy with the app!

Red White and Boom 2026

The event itself was a great milestone, but the broadcast was very disappointing.

The camera work and overall filming quality were poor. The constant autofocus kept locking onto random people in the crowd—at one point making a little kid the focus—while viewers were trying to watch the fireworks. It was frustrating and took away from the experience.

It also didn’t feel like a true live broadcast. It took far too long to get into the app to watch, and there seemed to be significant delays. For such a major milestone event, I expected much better preparation and execution.

Future events of this scale deserve experienced camera crews, better production planning, and a reliable streaming platform so viewers can actually enjoy the moment.

Great app

This app does what it’s suppose to easy to use and gets all the local channels

could use some improvement

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.

Love It

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!!!

Very Local

Ain't nothing like being informed! This is right on time. I use this app daily.

WYFF news

Good access to catchup on missed news

Superb

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.

Sad

Ever wonder what an app would be like, if created by a GED-level coding school dropout? Well here ya go

Winter snow birds. Carl & Marlene in Florida

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😉

Carries barely any local news stations

would not recommend unless you want to watch their shows or documentaries or whatever all day which does nothing with news or weather

Some ads need to go

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.

Constant loud gambling commercials

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.

On News

Great 👍 job just needs more of what’s current nationally.

Poor selection

Patriot game was not on just channel 9 logo

Will not work.

I downloaded the app on my tv and iPhone and the video for WLWT will not load.

Walking in death

Flooding

Great concept but

When using an iPhone or iPad, you must stay in the app. You cannot have it running in the background while you check email look at directions or other things similar to what you can do with YouTube TV.

Confusing

I’m new to this and I can’t figure out how to turn it off.

Great app but could use some improvements

The first improvement I’d like to see is the ability to create an account that can be used across devices/platforms. This would allow for starting a program on one device, and continuing it on another.

The second improvement I’d like to see is the ability to bookmark shows or save them to a favorites list. That way, my favorite shows are easier to find.
