Locast Customer Insights

1. I have no off-air where I live, so this is better than nothing, but not by very much.I like being able to stream local channels and don't mind the donation of 5 dollars per month to help support.

2. It happens constantly and very annoying when you're in the middle of watching something I use it on different android media devices, including through the web browser and still get the same freezing issue.While I admire the service's ambition, their implementation is only so-so.

3. After the recent update, I cannot view the guide without losing the channel I was watching with chromecast.

4. There does needs to be a better handoff to Chromecast; the video plays on your mobile before being able to select your Chromecast device.

5. And if I'm watching a channel half way down the guide, and I call the guide back, it loads at the top every time instead of where I currently am.

6. If you are looking for OTA, this is much cheaper and more reliable than an actual antenna, because locast gives you all the channels, that you *SHOULD* get based upon where you physical location is, not what you actually do get at your house, so you always end up with more.

7. The last 2 months, my issue is the service performance: I'll be watching a show and then it screen freezes.

8. TL;DR: Locast is a great OTA replacement app if you are in the service areaGood effort, however it needs more work.

9. The channel guide is confusing at best and doesn't make sense (you could learn from Pluto TV a thing or two).

10. I haven't been able to get even half of local OTA channels since the switch to digital.

11. It's well worth the monthly donation to be able to watch local stations.

  • I understand that you're performing 'maintenance' on the Locast app, but why in the world would you all conduct it in the middle of the day??!!! Couldn't this have been done at say...oh, 3AM? Doesn't make sense to me. I realize we 'donate' to watch, but still.... come on guys!!!
