  • Hard to navigate compared to past app

    Difficult to read, confused with ads that divert you to other sites.
  • Personalization Is Key

    I like how this app has a fresh design and has much more personalization capabilities than many other local (and even national) news apps. There are definitely a good amount of ads, but they could be worse and more excessive, especially nowadays. But what really sticks out to me is the amount of personalization features. You don't need to allow breaking news notifications for every alert or none at all...just what matters to you. The homepage is personalized based on what you want to see (separate from notifications) as well. Even some of the weather information and alerts can be personalized by location (not just Columbus). This is by far one of the better free news apps, and there being plentiful local news makes it even better.

  • Worst update ever

    Did some 4 year old win an app design contest?

    Oh wait. A 4 year old could make a better app than this, why don’t you go and interview one and get some ideas. You could cover yourselves with advertisement stickers and walk around looking just as dumb as this app.

    I wake up. I open 10TV news. Every day. One day it said I had to download new app, I thought okay... nothing wrong with old one however maybe this will be even more amazing. It’s exact opposite.

    I click on story to read, and while I’m scrolling on my phone, I end up tapping an ad. The ad opens my internet browser which isn’t what I wanted. So I have to close that, go back to 10TV and now the page I was on is either different or it’s jumped to a different part of the page and I have to partially re-read to find my place again.
    Either that or I end up reading the end of the article and it spoils the journalists story.

    Shame on you 10TV. Thanks for forcing me to go to NBC4 which isn’t much better than this crap but at least it doesn’t open 10 windows on my phone that wasn’t intended. It’s hard to find the story amongst the ads, it loads very slow, and the hot keys at the bottom are stupid.

  • Garbage

    I used to rely heavily on this app for local news. The new version is garbage. It has way more ads and way less functionality. Very disappointed. Whomever was behind this change should probably lose their job.
  • Tough navigation to multiple sections.

    Adding to my previous post..... after a few days, I find more and more of which to be critical. Yes, the ads are cumbersome. Too many ‘clicks’ to find worthwhile content, etc. Also, while I appreciate being ‘greeted’, I don’t need the 3-4 second delay caused by the app saying ‘Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening’. Sorry team WBNS/Tenga.....this just isn’t even close to what we should expect in 2020.

    Understanding where I am in the app is challenging so far. Also swiping to read next story stops at 5 for me.
    I am encouraged though based on this apps predecessor.

  • I Hate the new App

    Honestly, why can’t anyone ever leave well enough alone? This new app pales in comparison to the old one! I can’t find anything I want without scrolling through the entire mess. Too many ads, no menu for the various sections and topics, huge pics and graphics when I still want to read words! Ugh, guess I’ll just have to look at the other local stations. What were they thinking?????

  • AWFUL

    Bring back the old app. Or drastic improvements need for the new one. No longer are you Able to find things like gas, traffic, school business closings. Way to many ads much difficult to navigate. Very poor job 10TV. I sincerely hope other news apps are not as bad as this one that has been created. Used to like yours

  • Downgrade from previous

    I’ve never felt compelled to rate an app before this but all the new stuff in this version demands a stomping. For reasons already mentioned by others, ie. auto play video, overkilled with ads, non sequentially readable text, etc., I can barely give this two stars. I’ve not found any redeeming qualities in this version. It’s being deleted from my iPhone.

  • Who thought this up?

    This app needs a quick redesign. Where does one go to find topics such as weather,sports, business, etc. ? All that shows is a single screen which one has to scroll to another screen,, blindly trying to find subjects of interest. The old app had multiple windows and a pull down menu. There is no other news app that follows this stupid format. Bold type greetings and pretty faces won’t make up for easy accessible information that is missing.

  • I love you guys, but...

    I’ll still catch you on TV. While the new app may be more aesthetically pleasing to the eye, it’s no longer user friendly. I understand the need for ad revenue, but there is an acceptable limit. The weather map doesn’t have near as many options in layers as the old app either, which I found to be very useful and used frequently.

    Like I said, I’ll catch you on TV, but I’m going to have to pass on the new 10TV app.

    Sorry. 🙁
