WKBN wack news!

For a news company that’s supposed to cover “the valley”, the only thing they seem to be concerned about covering is Youngstown news. Oh another dumpy house in Ytown burned down, another person murdered, a store has opened/closed in Ytown. Not to forget about all the stupid ads. I have to ask myself “is it worth watching a 30 second ad to see some news that I probably don’t even care about?” And the answer is Nope! I’ll go read the Tribune.

Very nice app upgrade but one thing is missing

Love how it’s a lot smoother and I can watch the videos while I’m scrolling however I miss the widget that showed me news on my Home Screen. Please bring that back!

New IOS update killed it

Overall good app, but Whois the font so small on some of the stories? Make the font adjustable or at lest bigger.

Clunky

This app continues to disappoint. Freezes, is clunky when moving from one heading to the next. Currently it won’t let me view at all, saying there is an update needed. When attempting to update, nothing happens besides watching the circle spin. Come on guys. You’re a media company. Get it together.

News Alerts

No sense to send news alerts cause when you click on the alert it doesn’t take you to the article it just takes you to the site. You have to search the site for the article and HOPE it’s on there. Every time you do an update to this app you just make it worse instead of better

Ads

In the latest update lengthy video ads pop up, fill the whole screen and aren’t able to be closed while trying to read stories. Tried to read 2 stories this morning and that happened 5 times, I finally just gave up. I understand the need for advertising to create revenue, but if continues to be this aggressive I’ll just switch to another app for my news.

New format is terrible

Too many ads interwoven into the news articles. I find as I try and scroll to the rest of the article it is pushing me to an insurance ad on my browser. Very frustrating.

New version. Terrible ads.

The new version of the app is very nice. However the ads are too sensitive to touch and I accidentally open them all of the time just trying to scroll through. It’s a very unpleasant user experience. I understand why you’re doing it, it just stinks.

App not working on iPad Pro 10.5

Although it is one of the first apps I use in the morning, all of the sudden it has been freezing on startup. I would restart my iPad and all is good. Today after restarting twice, it still hasn’t started.

App freezes

This app is constantly freezing and lagging. Maybe it’s due to the way the advertising is set up but it’s awful!
