Saturated with Ads

For a news app, itโ€™s covered in ads. I look to my local news station for credible information and coverage. But I canโ€™t access a news story or click on an app alert without being required to watch a series of ads first. This is especially frustrating when trying to watch a live broadcast. Additionally if you scroll through the top stories, towards the bottom you start to see ads and clickbait that are copying the formatting. I love our local news station but this app doesnโ€™t serve them well.

Whereโ€™s the old weather app?

I very disappointed in this app. I used the weather app all the time. This new app is problematic. The previous weather app was simple and very useful. The new one takes to long to get anywhere or get the info you want. Please give us the previous weather app that was only weather back. When I need the weather I donโ€™t have time to go through all the other pages.

Good Enough

This app is good enough in the sense that I can get news alert notifications, but to click into a story is almost not worth the trouble. If I donโ€™t click the banner notification, I have a slim chance of finding the news story in the app. Then if you do actually find the story, they have so many ads throughout the app that it will freeze the video Iโ€™m trying to get to. Most of the time Iโ€™ve given up before I ever make it to watching the story.

Itโ€™s a scam

This is nothing more than a scam to get you to watch commercials when there is a live event.
You will get a notification of live breaking news. When you click on the notification, it opens the app goes to the breaking event, then starts running a never ending cycle of commercials. If you exit out of the commercials and try to restart the live event, it starts the commercials over again. I have never successfully watched any live breaking news. I think everyone understands that free apps are covered by some sort of advertising but come on isnโ€™t one commercial good enough before starting the live breaking news?

10News the Best

I moved to Hamilton County but I still watch channel 10โ€™s exceptional coverage of all types of events. I really love the newscasters and remember Robins first days on camera and Iโ€™m so glad she as well as other โ€œold timersโ€ are still there. I have watched channel 10 since 1976. Thank you so much. I wish your weather map could drop a further south to cover those of us near Chattanooga. Iโ€™ll always tune in to10News

Local, local and local

There are innumerable sources for national news. As a local station, it may be prudent for you to stick to local, regional and state news. Of course, some news of national origin with relevance and/or impact to your DMA is likely welcomed. Not lost on me is how well you follow up on breaking news to bring closure. Please keep it up!

Warm regards,

Good app

Itโ€™s up to date with local and national news and weโ€™ll sourced. The weather is very good, but could use better information, my noaa app has better graphics, information, and alerts.

Timely and accurate News and Weather

After just recently moved to area, I was looking for quality news station. Well, I found what I was looking for.

Keep up the good work
