## LEX 18 News Reviews in United States

### *---- "Does Not Update"
Doesn’t update news or weather throughout the day or even from day-to-day. Very annoying.  Radar also doesn’t work very often.  Usually I use the app for our local ABC station to get updated news and the Weater Channel.
-- ASUKYKAT, 2024-07-04

### *---- "Fake news…"
Stop telling lies to appeal to your political party and more people can trust your ability to report the news.
-- JoeStumpo, 2024-06-28

### *---- "False news"
If you want race baiting news with no research before they do a story then this is your app. Worst news source possible! This is literally the  epitome of fake news! I wish I could give “0” stars.
-- bbsjsjsioskskdhshuskx, 2023-03-23

### *---- "Not good"
Poorly designed and pretty much useless, compared to other TV station apps doesn’t even deserve a one star.
-- WC Tolly, 2022-10-22

### *---- "Leaning a little"
To the left
-- 009977744, 2021-02-20

### *---- "Zero Stars if I could"
Deleting this left wing rag.   Report the news, don’t push an agenda.  Totally disappointed.
-- TakeAim7, 2020-05-31

### *---- "Stopped updating stories on Jan 17."
Deleted the app. No current news, no reason to have it installed.
-- KY Mapper, 2020-02-08

### *---- "Top stories"
The top stories no longer refresh as of the 17th of January. You have to go to the sections tab and click on local news to find out what’s going on in or around town. Update much needed.
-- localsforyou, 2020-01-23

### *---- "Not updating news. Stuck from the 17th"
The app is not updating the top stories.
-- One star is not low enough, 2020-01-23

### **--- "Pauses audio when opened."
Opening the app pauses any audio currently playing.  I’m uninstalling but will follow the release notes for updates to see when usability is improved.
-- JDnLex, 2020-01-07
