Latest iOS confirmed, removing installing app…. Reset network, location…. None of the solution fix the issue, still random issues making this app useless! ### 4/5 — Still needs a good bit of work *2024-02-11* Still needs some work. I was watching a video of an earthquake in Alaska. Video but no sound. This is my second time trying to watch the same video after hang ups in getting the video to play. It’s a great video on a earthquake that hit Anchorage back in 2018. I only got into about 20% of the video before it started screwing up. if you want to watch the video just do a search for 7.1. ### 4/5 — Great App for Locals *2023-09-26* I’ve been using VuIt on Roku for years, and now on my iPhone. No performance issues, everything works well and how it should. Some reviewers complain that most stations have repeats of local newscasts when not airing the station’s news live. That has nothing to do with this app - its the local stations that do not have live 24 hour streaming news. Most local stations do not. Local stations cannot carry the network programming, but that may change soon with changing of how carriage fees are contracted. VuIt has a good amount of and variety of local tv stations, many that are not carried on other live streaming apps. History of updates indicates VuIt fixes security issues immediately, which also protects the app users. I do watch specific distant station’s news and live feeds when there is a major news event in their area, mostly severe weather events or other major news story to get the unedited and unspun real perspective that only local news can provide. ### 3/5 — Background *2023-06-12* Would be nice to have live tv play in background while using IPhone. ### 1/5 — Annoying commercials and unreliable *2022-09-10, version 2.0.3* Very unreliable to bring the app up, crazy slow or will just failed to load the app sometimes Standardize you languages for commercials. I only use it for KTSF. Why Spanish commercials? Annoying inconstancy volume? I’ll definitely not use this app if KTSF will offer another option for Cantonese news streaming ### 5/5 — Good Content, overall good can be excellent *2022-09-07, version 2.0.3* I’m glad I can finally watch local news without paying a subscription, but the app can use some touch ups, like PiP (Picture in Picture) feature or at least a background player. But overall, i’m not complaining since it’s free of charge ### 3/5 — Vuit *2022-09-02, version 2.0.3* Can’t log into the app, login screen blank white screen! I tried updating to no avail, same problem. I removed the app, cleaned up and reinstalled the app. Same problem. Not on my end I guess I’ll just have to use the website instead of the app. Good reason to ditch apps for websites! ### 1/5 — Totally irrelevant commercials *2022-04-26, version 2.0.0* Several months ago, Vuit was unbeatable. It was a fantastic app to catch up on your local news, even if it was a replay because you couldn’t watch it live at the time. Now it has completely irrelevant commercials. Who cares about a car lot selling cars 400 miles away and watching the same 6 irrelevant commercials replay over and over? If anything, that’s a real turn-off for viewers. Now if you happen to miss your local news at the live time it’s on, you’re end up watching a news channel somewhere in Tennessee. Why would a viewer in Wisconsin want to watch a random news channel 800 miles away? Whoever is in charge of this app and it’s content needs to step aside and let someone with some common sense take it over and put it back the way it was. ### 1/5 — If I could give 0 I would *2022-01-21, version 1.2.2* KTSF shouldn’t have moved to this app. When it airs commercials it goes overtime into whatever you’re watching and it suddenly cuts to your broadcast, but the show has already started, so you’re basically watching half the broadcast without knowing the first half. The ads are also long and irrelevant. Do not download. ### 1/5 — Keep Chinese commercial instead English commercials *2022-01-18, version 1.2.2* This app is good but when my parents watch Ktsf 26 on this app when it time for Chinese New and then commercials cut into English version and my parents don’t understand so which you guys can keep the commercials in Chinese instead English commercials ## Frequently asked questions about VUit ### What is VUit?
