User reviews

Issues with your app.

1. Crazy amount of notifications - Are you kidding me? You send us notifications for every single thing. It’s 3:30 pm and I got 40+ for just this part of the day. That includes notifications for entertainment news and don’t require us to be notified. I definitely don’t need to be notified about Mormon wife show and it is definitely NOT newsworthy. If you don’t fix it, I am turning off notifications from your app and deleting your widget. Based on reviews I see here, I am not alone, many people complain about this. You going to lose subscribers if that is not fixed.
2. Your app is taking more than 2 gigs of space on iPads. That’s huge, why? Cannot you optimize it? WCPO app of the other local news station takes almost 10 times less space, but provides the same content.
3. I have your app installed on both iPhone and iPad. Very often notifications on iPhone are different than on iPad. On iPhone I would get notifications linked to some articles, but on iPad I would not even get notifications for those and vice versa, on iPad I am getting notifications linked to articles, but on iPhone I am not even getting notifications for the same news. Same apple account for both devices and the same settings for your app on both devices with notifications turned on.
Please fix those issues. They are important for users of your app.

WAY too many notifications

One star just because the amount of notifications. The app itself is good and did not used to send so many notifications. I had to silence all notifications from this app because I was getting so many. There should at least be an option of what categories send notifications. 50+ a day is crazy. I get more notifications from this app than all my other apps combined. Please tone it down so I can turn notifications back on without being bombarded.

Less notifications!!

Good app; way too many notifications. 162 notifications in the last week alone. Compare that to WCPO which sent 9. You need to better prioritize the local stories for what actually sends a push notification.

Not worth installing

Not sure why but far too many notifications of non-local stories. The app is Local 12, but too many posts on stories from out of state.
