Rating review

I prefer 40/29 in all news/weather/sports over other broadcast! In this crisis all stations are falling behind in breaking news notifications for Gov Hutchinson & Whitehouse updates. By the time the alert comes through the live secession are already in progress.
I still highly respect & prefer 49/29!

Why are the links so large?

Good information, glad to have a local news app on my phone, but it is impossible to scroll without clicking 2 or 3 links in the process. They literally take up all of the page and when there is an ad every time I come back to the same video after hitting one of these links, I get so frustrated I don’t even care for the news anymore.

Fake News Supporter

I will say I will normally put up with their liberal garbage posted and their posting of liberal trash from CNN. Everyone needs a source of local news. However, the sensationalized irresponsible over reporting of the Corona Virus and the damage it is causing I will not put up with. This is not the witch hunt clown shows we’ve been putting up with. This much more far reaching and the damage being done by scaring people is disgusting and unprofessional.

Updates

Often times I will get late breaking news or updates with only the headlines. I quickly open the app to find nothing pertaining to the late breaking news. I feel your sports section is really lacking.

40/29 news

It’s all about it’s listening area and it is the best news and weather channel in our opinion it is the most accurate they are the only one we watch!!!

Ad

I’ve had the 40/29 app for several years. Recently they’ve updated it and there is a full page ad that pops up with annoying loud people yelling and you can’t close it for 5-8sec. I guess I’ll delete the app if it keeps up. Sad cause I really like the app. Very disappointed 😔 app user.

Advertisements are terrible!!

This app is slow compared to how it used to be. Ads are everywhere on this app now and the weather radar is so slow. It didn’t used to have the ad bar at the top of the radar and it was fine then. Accuweather app is way better for radar now!! It’s almost more of an app for advertisements instead of news!!!

It was my go to weather app!

I’m so disappointed! I used to check the weather, but now all of the sudden there are ads that pop up and I have to wait 5 seconds to close out. It wouldn’t be so irritating if even it just came on once, but it came up multiple times. I will be deleting shortly and see how channel 5 news app is.

Where’s the news

Too often a bulletin is sent out but unless you click on the actual notification the news story is not posted. You cannot find the story for a considerable amount of time by just going to the news site. They do NOT proof read anything. Example from their news “3.7 Earthquake in Northern Arkansas in NW Arkansas.”

Change pictures!!!

I enjoy the website but it needs updating more often. There are pictures of a fire on Hwy 96 2 years ago I believe. The other pictures in that section are older also. Would love to see more updates content.
