Wishing for better

Having problems the stations vocals play on top each other when you change stations.A glitch I hope they fix

Best Free Streaming App Yet

Kudos, and thank you!

More shows in the drama category

I love this app! Though I would like to see more shows added to the drama category in the live tv section for us drama tv lovers but overall I love the app!

Love this app!

Has a little bit of everything for free. Works really well on Apple TV.

This is a good app

I made a statement that I couldn't find the volume well long be hold I found it lol so this is a cool app to get and keep

Always freezing and buffering

I love this app cause I drive for lyft, and I have a tv in my car. this news tells everything that’s going on in my city, plus weather. so when I pick up passengers that are visiting from other states. it shows them restaurants etc in the area ,and what they are rated as well . But my only problem is I have to keep restarting it over, because it would freeze on me, and buffer as well. It would pop up with a white screen, and stay on that screen while the audio sound of it, moves on to the next

Thank you

Thank you for not being greedy. This app is exactly what I wanted.

Auto-play

Auto-plays when opened. How about an option to auto-mute.

5 Negative User Reviews for Local Now: News, TV & Movies

Potential but really bad overall

When are you going to fix this app? Probably the worst streaming app I’ve used to date. Multiple streams kick in, app freezes, you try to sign in and it kicks you off the registration screen when you get to your email (iOS). Change the screen orientation and another local channel kicks in. No channel number input that I could find… I know it’s a free app but still. 2 starts because it’s free and has potential once it’s reliable and user friendly…

Sound on movies not working on IPad

Well, when I bring up the app there is a news channel playing. But I want to watch a movie. So I get the movie playing but the sound is the news channel. So I cut off the channel’s sound. Then I go to the movie and have no sound so I turn up the volume. So up some the channel’s sound! Support said delete and reinstall. Well, THAT didn’t work! So I’m in contact with them to report it didn’t work. I only need to shut off the channel and watch a movie on my I pad. But it works fine on my Apple TV.

Issues with channel scrolling

Having same issues with other reviewer about scrolling to channels not staying and returning back to locals channels section. Hope for next update to fix this issue

Good concept, buggy app

Local Now has a great assortment of local and national news networks along with some general entertainment and specialty content. But good luck watching any of the live streams: it takes multiple taps of a channel icon or program name to actually launch the stream you want, and the guide is a buggy mess that has a mind of its own. Things that should be relatively easy to fix, and let’s hope they do.

Could be better

Has some good shows and channels, but it randomly jumps around and takes you away from what you’re looking at. I usually give up and close the app
