Ratings and reviews

The Spectrum News app does not work when my phone is connected to my friend’s Spectrum network. I’m unable to watch the live news. It worked fine before the Sept. 1 update. All the other apps work fine. When the phone is connected to the Internet via the data plan or a non-Spectrum network the app does work. As of Sept. 16, I see that Spectrum has corrected the problem.

The "new" app is hard to navigate, locks up frequently, and usually doesn't load properly. Links are often not working properly, and the weather information, in particular, is lacking. It no long provides wind information (or if it does, it is very well hidden), and over half the time weather radar just doesn't work. When it does, it also lacks features available in the "old" app. Pleas take these issues seriously and provide a better functioning app. Until then, I just can't use the app.

The new weather map is horrible. It takes several clicks and then dragging to get to the map to open it. Once in motion, it automatically goes three hours in the future; no way to change that. Clicking to freeze motion does not freeze at current time; it requires jogging back and forth and still won't stop on current time. The worst part is there is no way to save overlays. They have to be selected again each time the map is opened. I downloaded this for the weather map...I'm deleting it.
