Schedule shows wrong shows

The schedule shows the wrong shows at the wrong timings, and the app is generally hard to navigate.

Unusable and completely unintuitive

It’s basically impossible to find a specific VOD show. And once you find it, the episodes are in some random order (not chronological). Please revisit this app, and go back to the way it was 2-4 years ago.

Also, I just updated to the latest app version (against my better judgement). Wow, that was a huge mistake. The schedule/current time is incorrect, so now I can’t tell what’s actually on live or upcoming. The schedule shows MY time BUT lists the shows for that Korean time. ie. It’s 9:30pm where I live but the app displays the schedule for 9:30pm KST.

PLEASE fix this bug.

No longer usable - app not opening

If - big IF - app opens, it will work until I close it. Then when I try to reopen app, I get a black screen with a white box inside it.
I tried uninstalling, powering off tablet. Then powering up and reinstalling app. Same problem, black screen with a white box inside it.
Earlier this year, I had no problems at all. Live News sometime would freeze for a second or two, then continue working.
I used to use this app a lot for the news and music.
Please fix it.

You can’t cast on your TV

You can only watch this channel through your phone and there’s no possibility to cast on your TV, very frustrating.

Where’s the sound?

I really love love love watching this show on the tv or on YouTube. I love all the anchors and it’s content. But the app has no sound? What good is it with no sound? Reading another users comments about having to hit the mute button over and over? It shouldn’t be necessary, just please fix your app!

I love it but

For some reason it doesn’t have a version for Apple TV? That would be really handy!

App is OK. Video is quirky.

Give this app a chance. It’s not bad, but you may have to make extra taps to get the video to be the correct size on screen. Also, if a video has no audio, then you may need to tap the Mute button several times. [At the time of this review, the app noted a video issue with iOS 13, and I thank the developers for being forthcoming.]

The upper icon bar is hard to read in Dark Mode, and the only Live TV icon seems to be in this icon bar.

Otherwise, the app seems fair. The use of transcripts with news clips is a nice touch, and there is a helpful text-size button, too. In general, the news section looks like the part of the app that was done first and foremost. There’s a handy section that has the latest video on demand for each show, including the music and entertainment shows.
