Local Now: News, TV & Movies Reviews

by Sunthebun1

LocalNow is fair but there is a major problem. I am visually impaired and I have the voiceover to read and it doesn’t read anything below the video screen. How am I supposed to read the news articles and all the movies if I can’t see it. The voiceover on my device would read the details below the video screen but all it’s doing is responding like the voiceover is off. That’s very disrespectful and I don’t appreciate it. #respect people with disabilities.

Love LocalNow , but it sometimes reboots constantly on my tv..so much so that at times its just not worth it and I turn it off. I know you have to get your ads in there, but when you put an ad in for a movie...which should really be in the show biz/entertainment section...and the ad is several minutes long plus the additional time for the rebooting, and the fact that you show this ad at the beginning of every section you have ...it is super annoying and makes me want to turn it off.
I really wish it worked better, as I love watching LocalNow on the rare occasions that it works right.

LocalNow is wonderful to have but it needs some work due to voiceover and people that are blind and visually impaired cannot navigate it very well. In your next app version would you make it accessible for the blind and visually impaired

Every time it goes to like “Houston! It’s time for Lunch” or look at the local radar it just keeps saying the same thing over and over again. But I still would somewhat recommend LocalNow in case you need it. Say for example Power outages or Severe storms. It’s kinda still of great app. 🙂

I can’t seem to find any listing for area events! That is the main reason I downloaded LocalNow. I can get the weather and news on TV but for some reason, they only mention events after they have already happened. Am I not looking in the right place?

App is good but I would love the ability to cast it to chromecast to watch instead of my small phone screen. If the capability is already there I haven’t been able to find it on iphone 13 pro.

I like how LocalNow shows the news I need but in a time limit I have on a daily basis.

I’m really happy with LocalNow, but the only thing is that it doesn’t support chrome cast! And most of the movies aren’t really kid friendly ether, which is really disappointing. But overall, it is a good app to catch up on current events.

I’m happy with LocalNow but I wonder if you can change the order of well you know. And also can you make your stream public? Would sound cool. But anyway, Great and Amazing app!

I love LocalNow and use it as my morning information feed. It used to allow me to AirPlay the video on my Apple TV but now it seems like the AirPlay feature is gone. Can you add it back? Thank you!

I love LocalNow! I always put it on my fire stick while getting ready for work in the morning. I really enjoy that it provides local news based on my location, and that it gives you a mixed variety of news clips to help you get the day started. I would like to suggest a feature where we could choose which categories we would like LocalNow to focus on. For example: I would love to see more national news and tech news, and less cooking clips. Hopefully there could be a feature that includes this. Maybe add a voting feature for each of the clips and have LocalNow remember what type of news you like and learn from those clips to then show more of the same after some time. Overall LocalNow is great and I highly recommend. I would definitely pay $1-3 per month to remove ads.

Better local news than even the major local media channels plus lots more. Installed on all my TVs and my phone.

I heard Byron Allen mention LocalNow in an I interview. It's just as he said, local TV like you grew up with but in a streaming format that no one else is doing, a brilliant idea! Also, it's free! I plan to have it on my living room tv.

It gives me my local news from Central Mississippi. Sometimes I will watch Local Now in the morning so I can watch local news.

by Waukemom

I watch this every day I find some interesting local news in it. I have cnn on my tv all the time too keep up with national happenings

It’s so different than other apps. We get our local updates like weather and traffic from local now and we love it. Highly recommend LocalNow .

Jack Avery In my own opinion I think should go back to the way it was before because this new Version it’s not the same as the last version can someone please change it back

by Fallszf

We are lucky to live in a time of flourishing arts and event scenes that coincide with a new found emphasis to support our local communities. LocalNow is the perfect way to effectively navigate our thriving city and all of the beautiful things it has to offer! Then of course having the local weather and news at your finger tips is a huge plus. LocalNow is all you need to plan your day, weekend, life!!

by Jahgsgeh

I love it you can see everything that is happening in the world right now!

Hello team,

This is good app. But forward, pause backward button continuous visible during video play. Tap in different section of the screen but didn’t go away. This is the flaw.

Please have a look.

Thanks

LocalNow doesn’t support my city. That gets it a Zero from me.

by Droobie-Doo

It would be nice to be able to see the video at the top of the screen but you float the controls over it and fade the video so you can’t see anything.

Ok, so I read the other reviews and took them with a grain of salt. I always want to try something for myself. I gave it 3 stars because it’s just not my type of app. For some people it may be something they love. It’s fully functional with no issues that I see. It’s basically like watching a mini news broadcast with a few extras. You get local and national popular news with entertainment, tech, etc. You can choose to skip through a section or pick a section to watch. Plus you can add several other locations to view. The local weather and news seemed to be fairly up to the minute. So although it’s a nice app, it’s just not something I would use a lot of. I will keep it for a while to see if it keeps my attention. The only thing you need is an internet connection to use it. So I would say give it a try, because it is worth that at least.

LocalNow offers a great way to get local info, weather and traffic in a quick little package for people on the go! Excellent for anybody looking for a concise look at what's going on. Video/sound quality is excellent and I haven't come across any issues with buffering. I'm excited about where LocalNow is going and its potential! It's certainly a lot easier to whip out your smartphone and get a quick recap than it is to find time to watch local news.

It’s a great way to get a local snapshot in a few mins as I have breakfast or prepare for bed. My wife is enjoying it too. While the content can be improved in volume and other ways the reason I gave it 5 stars is, I LOVE that the news is given as facts without opinions.

I would like to see a bit more interactivity as it grows. By this I mean, it would be great to be able to select suburban areas outside of the metropolitan locations for news and weather. I would also like to have a larger variety of news sans opinions, which I feel is the biggest asset here.

Keep it up.

I don’t have cable and refuse to watch depressing local news. This give me the top stories and weather

I haven’t tried LocalNow yet, but I downloaded it because theIr commercials have a VW Eurovan in it.

Quick snapshot of local news and great recipe ideas.

LocalNow was amazing during Irma 7 days ago!!
We live on Marco Island and we evacuated to Naples Florida. We got to Naples, but after watching the weather channel there, we then quickly decided we needed to keep going further north to Jacksonville. We drove over night 8 hours and we were able to watch the live forecast with the track of the storm as we drove!!! It was great. We are now back on Marco Island!
