Stopped working on AppleTv

Does not work on AppleTv anymore after recent update.
It worked fine previously.

I hate this app

I’ve been trying to watch newscasts from Duluth, MN (my hometown) on-demand lately but this app won’t let me do that. It just keeps telling me to watch them live when their news and local programming is on the air.

Unusable app. Severe bugs

App says my location services is off when is ON. That's one of the MANY bugs that makes your app broken and useless

Fail

Sorry but this app is a fail. Every time I click to play something it just closes the app. At one point I finally got something to airplay on my TV but there was no way to stop it - I had to shut my phone down to get out of the app. Then I was back to it closing out every time I tried to play something. This really shouldn't even be available for download until it's operational.

Too many commercials

I have to watch five minutes of commercials then five minutes of a blank screen saying commercial break not good …… bye bye

KTSF MEWS laggy

So laggy with KTSF news. Very disappointed with the lag and most of the time it’s just freezing screen and never come back

Misleading title

It’s called Zeam-always local but I’m in San Antonio, there’s nothing for San Antonio

Favorites broken in Roku and Fire Stick

I no longer use this app on my TV. It fails to save favorites on my Roku and Fire Stick.

Favorites?

It seems with the latest rev I can no longer favorite channels unless they happen to appear on the Home Screen. I can’t favorite a channel I find via search, which seems like a real oversight. After all, if a channel is local I’ll have access to that on the Home Screen anyway. It’s the out of market stations I have the app for in the first place, and now I can’t favorite those?

Junk

If you like new then get it, other then that don’t not download load this app it is the worst app no movies or anything just news

Stopped Working

It was good until it stopped working this morning. Instead of our local news that I watch every day, Woody Woodpecker was on. Also, the Zeam commercials are annoying. When they have a regular commercial, it’s in Spanish.

Incredible for news and political opinion reporting

I honestly do not see why so many people are down voting this app. It doesn’t claim to replace anything like Hulu or Paramount Plus. It only promises to deliver news and opinion television shows. It does a marvelous job of doing just that.

Not Local

I was looking for an app that had my local area to watch without my fire stick figured I would check this app out. There’s my local news channels in my area that are on the fire stick but for some odd reason it’s showing other cities that’s not really near me, nor do I care for to watch about what’s going on in those cities. It gave me only two news channels from my state not my city. Also it shows nearby states around me that I have absolutely no interest in. Why would I want to know cooking shows, music, & the news from other states? They should add local things to watch or don’t offer it at all! Sadly this app isn’t it. I’m pretty disappointed since I can’t watch anything. Please don’t let my review discourage you into downloading it. You may have more luck in your area than me. If the app developers would really take the time to truly add local things to watch, I could see this being a very good app.

Requires Access To Account & Profile

I don’t give access to my account or profile information to a “FREE” app

Nothing live and local

I live in NYC and there is nothing on here from my area. This is just a scam app that gives you the stuff you already get from other much better TV apps. This is by far the worst one yet.

This app blows!

4 pm everyday I go to watch my local news and the app only partial loads I can never just turn it on and expect it to work!

Stupid Always Ads

That repeating “always free always blah blah blah” is always stupid and always annoying!

So few local channels

I live in Los Angeles and this app has one local channel I English and another in Chinese. I can only imagine how bad it must be in smaller markets. Just save your time and download the CBS News app instead.

Love Zeam (on my M2 MacBook Pro!)

It shows local channel programming not available on any other platform other than over the air (if your reception is good enough) or directly from the station’s web site. The app centralizes the news stations. I have also tested the app (App Store notes it is tested for iPad) on my m2 MacBook Pro and it works just fine.

Won’t let me login

Keeps telling me to try later when I try to login. Works fine on my television. Cannot save favorites, have to scroll through dozens of pages.
Hopefully this will be fixed someday.
