Being my very first time to DL Spectrums App,Might be my better choices sense I'm not able too get News anymore on My Jump Tv set now.

Spectrum decided to roll this out during their hurricane outage probably because they suck at communicating. Hot garbage. Installed and uninstalled just so I can leave 1 star.

After install a disclaimer comes up and says "there's a few bugs that need to be fixed. Try again later" Alot of good this does me during the hurricane. STOP ADVERTISING A FREE APP THAT WONT EVEN OPEN!
