Horrible!

2022-05-30

Absolutely horrible, way to much to complain about, and not enough time to write. They want you to sign in every time just to use SpectrumNews , lack luster weather page (for a news station that prides themselves on weather) that doesn’t even include wind speeds anymore like the old app did, no mar...

Unbelievable

2022-07-01

I can’t believe that this is considered a “good enough” replacement to the spectrum news 13 app. “The new app has all of the same features as the old one” no it does not spectrum, I can no longer see the amazing radar that use to update every minute and was VERY accurate and VERY useful and VERY he...

Push Notification Bug

2022-08-01

Whenever I receive a Push Notification from the Spectrum News App about a breaking/developing story, I click on the notification to read the story, and 100% of the time I am directed to a page telling me to sign in for access to Spectrum News. Even though I am already signed in. I hit the back butt... Show more

The app will not work on Spectrum network?

2022-09-02

I have Spectrum for phone, TV, and internet but when I downloaded the new app, I get an error message that the HTTP Proxy is not supported. It tells me I must log off and open SpectrumNews without being logged into my internet account. It’s a Spectrum app and it can’t work if I’m connected to Spec... Show more

IOS Incompatible APP -

2022-10-04

Ipad’s older than 4 years are not capable of updating IOS above 12.5, either renew the license for the previous version or make SpectrumNews compatible. Our 2 units are brand new, however under the apple battery exchange program, the replaced units are built to the identical specifications of the ... Show more

One word..awful

2022-11-04

I used to have the news 13 app for many years and I loved it. Then spectrum took over. I went into settings and adjusted my preferences to what news alerts I want to receive. That was 4 months ago. I have yet to receive an alert. Now when you want to read a story you have to sign in. Ridiculous. It... Show more

Spectrum App

2022-12-06

Really don’t care for the new Spectrum/Bat News 9 app that we were forced to update too. The Bay news 9 app alone was easy to navigate and never had issues while using it. Getting to our local weather was easy to access and see the map in a stationary position and or choose to see the Doppler Radar... Show more

Great App but I can’t login

2023-01-06

This is a great app that I love to use to keep up with local news but for the past few weeks I haven’t been able to login so I cannot view any content. I’ll get a notification, click on it to view, and when SpectrumNews opens it asks me to sign in with my spectrum service logins. When I input my l... Show more

REALLY missing the old weather map

2023-02-07

I live in the Tampa Bay Area, and my old Bay News 9 app was recently converted to this one. I frequently used the old app for the Klystron 9 weather map, as it was super precise and accurate… but this new weather map is SO choppy and hard to see when the rain is predicted to hit my specific area. P... Show more

Less useful

2023-03-11

I was using the spectrum news site online regularly, until it changed a week or two ago. Working from home, I could have Spectrum News live on a device, iPad, and minimize it while checking my emails.

This isn’t possible anymore, thus I’m going back to other news sources.

Weather radar needs fixing

2023-04-09

I mainly use SpectrumNews to check the live weather, however the radar focus mostly tries to show you the future movement of storms rather than letting you rewind and see where the storms are coming from and the way they’ve been moving. It always starts with the live radar feed and jumps ahead an... Show more

Miss the old app

2023-05-11

SpectrumNews has potential but I really miss the old News 13 app. This new app doesn’t have a good radar. They barely ever report on the weather. They will make one report at 6am and leave it up all day. I want hour by hour weather reports on whats going to happen throughout the day. The new weath... Show more

FINALLY.

2023-06-11

THANK YOU! Finally a much needed, long overdue update. I had assumed SpectrumNews had just been forgotten about. I can’t tell you how great it is to be able to watch In The Papers and get my local NY1 News — especially when I have to travel for work. It’s the single reason I have kept paying for a... Show more

Awesome, but signs me out a lot :/

2023-07-13

I’m loving this news app, especially that I can watch the news live, as I only have the internet service, not a tv package. It’s a huge quality of life improvement, so thank you. However, SpectrumNews signs me out twice every session, so about every 30-45 minutes, I have to hit sign in and my stre... Show more

Going to miss this app!

2023-08-13

I’m going to miss SpectrumNews when it goes behind a paywall within the next few days. Spectrum’s sky high fees make this unaffordable, for many folks anyway. Spectrum and their advertisers will be missing a large potential audience that might otherwise see their content.

Your entire news programming is miraculous in this day of contention and anger. You present the news and commentary on important things without the usual media biases which are characteristic of most of the other news media. Your programming is broad and varied, quite interesting, and educational. ... Show more

Totally recommend

2023-10-16

I absolutely love not only SpectrumNews, but the spectrum news team! Specifically in the Tampa Bay Area. SpectrumNews allows you to do so many things, I’m sure I’m not even fully utilizing it and I still think it’s great. Weather and non-biased news is great and very accessible.

A very positive service for subscribers

2023-11-16

I like the news people and the weather people. Both divisions seem to be believable and honest and I have a sense that they are actually reporting rather than editorializing.

I think this is a truly great service and I enjoy knowing that what I’m finding out about Ohio is at least reasonable... Show more

Essential and almost perfect but for…

2023-12-18

I live in the Hudson Valley and work in NYC. My cable package rightfully includes Spectrum News 1 for the Hudson Valley as well as NY1. However, I am unable to (or cannot figure out how to) follow stories and read journalists from both channels on SpectrumNews . I can even watch NY1 in SpectrumNews... Show more

Great news channel

2024-01-18

I love spectrum news, I wake up at 5am with ybeth
Brutal and the team every morning! It makes my day, just to hear a little bit of news gets me started. I know if I need an umbrella ☂, traffic and that slow downs. Gives me direction. Love the news team ❤️

Disappointing

2025-01-24

I wanted to like SpectrumNews. But I went to the sports section and it only had old sports news from 2 weeks previous. A news app. Should be current to the hour. I deleted SpectrumNews .

Login for App not working

2025-01-24

Login for SpectrumNews is blank and it only leads me to buy spectrum website

Florida

Fix SpectrumNews so one can choose any state for "select your region ". I'm in Tampa Florida so SpectrumNews is useless. Thank you.

Doesn’t work on iOS 11.2.5

They didn’t update it so it doesn’t work anymore.

stopped working on IOS12 on Ipad Pro 12in, as with everything Spectrum. these days nothing works. In the old days TWC apps worked and kept current with IOS updates, time to consider other cable alternatives

In the Papers

2025-01-24

Why when I try to watch In The Papers on SpectrumNews, it’s telling me I don’t have a subscription for it? What?? I have access to that channel and was even able to watch yesterday. What’s going on? Also when I call the number they tell me I should have access. Help! No on the phone is able to.

Mediocre

2025-01-24

Since Spectrum purchased Time Warner the quality of the service has gone from fair to mediocre. Prices have risen, no specials are offered, and signal quality varies. Were it not for the Hallmark Channel, which is impossible to find elsewhere, we would have been gone yesterday.

Old News

2025-01-24

I just downloaded SpectrumNews . It looks nice and fresh. But when you dig in deeper you see that the news is from four days ago, five days ago, seven days ago. I read the news every day and I don’t want to see repeated old news. The news needs to be from the day you’re looking at it for it to be w... Show more

SpectrumNews load the news sometimes without using the live button and your have to use the syncing button to see the programs after you scroll up or down on the screen. This happens on this iPad Pro 2nd Gen all the time. SpectrumNews needs to be updated.

It does in Florida

I don’t want to log in

2025-01-24

I should have the ability to watch the news without logging in. Especially since cable and internet is INCLUDED in my rent. I don’t have a login.

Best First Foot Forward

2025-01-24

Functionally, SpectrumNews seems quite stable at this early vantage point, as most components interconnect with one another seamlessly. One drawback that i'm sure will be addressed in the coming days, as this is a virgin app, is the ability to pause or stop live video all the while staying logged ... Show more
