This new app is terrible. I normally love change when it comes to app updates and new features but this is sooo bad. If I wanted to listen to the news I’d watch tv so why is the default video appear at the top. App crashes every single time I click on more than 2 stories. The entire top stories part repeats two more times in the subsequent sections, like why bother having additional sections for news? It appears WRAL doesn’t have enough to write about so you just keep adding fillers. I was born and raised in Cary back when Bob Debardeladen was at the station and I hate to think you’re becoming obsolete.
