What's New in WFLA News Channel 8
500.7.0
December 18, 2024
We've fixed some bugs and improved general performance.
How dare I watch a news video fullscreen?! I paid my dues watching a garbage ad at the beginning, then the video played, with full player support, cast to device, mute, playback controls... Then the article was finished, but were they? NO! Here's a second advertisement at the end, and NO PLAYBACK CONTROLS! NO fullscreen, NO mute, NO playback controls or even an X! Just "Learn More" and nothing to do but either 1. Watch another advertisement until control is restored. OR 2. Force-quit the offensive over-advertising application.
I won't be doing THAT much longer before my resolution is to REMOVE THIS APP.
