## The Spectrum Reviews in United States

### ***** "Spectrum"
The app is great
-- Frankel s, 2025-01-14

### *---- "No Local News"
The Spectrum is supposed to be a local newspaper, but there have not been any local stories for a very long time. Discouraging…

The print version is also an embarrassment for a city of 100,000+ and a county approaching 200,000. You receive the print paper by mail. The Sunday paper is delivered on Saturday. It should be titled “tomorrows news today”. 

There is a local section in the on line version. The Utah Tech section has stories about the 2023 football season - so very out of date.

It is not worth the money. Why even publish The Spectrum? It used to be a good paper.
-- Three at, 2024-05-08

### ***** "Spectrum app"
I like spectrum app because I read what going on real world 
Like sports and others things and Memphis news app okay so 
I can I get the spectrum pass world
-- tennesee boy, 2024-04-03

### *---- "No comparison"
This is in no way a substitute for the paper edition. It misses most of the information on all topics. Very disappointing.
-- Faithful newspaper reader, 2024-03-15

### ****- "Not bad for a local newspaper"
Like the local coverage.
-- MsMarketing, 2023-10-26

### ***-- "Difficult"
Enjoyability lowered by difficult navigation
-- ddrraaee, 2023-08-08

### ***** "Perfect for me!"
Love the local sports coverage! Well written articles with details and pics!
-- golfingoat23, 2022-01-22

### *---- "Constant Notifications"
Not a fan of repeating notifications that only are click bait to a Subscription Service, and cannot be turned off?
-- sj1776, 2021-06-22

### ***** "Not just bad news. Feel good news too."
I’m glad I don’t feel sad when I read the Spectrum. There tone is hopeful and objective.
-- Paintingleopard, 2020-06-17

### *---- "Too many problems"
Couldn’t sign it. There’s something with app vs browser signed up with app but had to use browser to sign in. Called for help with problem signing in and did get that but then he wanted me to check manage account. There was and is no manage account.  Don’t think I’m getting the full digital.  He repeatedly told me where it was but it wasn’t there. I finally hung up on him. I can’t make it appear.  I will end my subscription as soon as my trail is up.
-- Otters10, 2020-03-27
