### 1/5 — Not what I had in mind

*2023-12-05*

I don’t understand how you could take a great weather app, with weather warnings and interactive maps and force the entire local news, which, I don’t want, on me.  

The anemic weather page is not even close to ok.  

I had to download the CBS Minnesota weather app to get the important weather information in the format I like for Philly area.

Bring the weather only app back.  If someone wants the news, let them decide what news app they want.

### 1/5 — Weather app

*2023-04-15*

The new weather app is poor compared to the previous one.  I prefer a local report on the weather vs the data available on the major apps. Bit currently the major provide more details. I’ll use this one for a short while to see if it improves. If not, I’ll delete it and move to a different source to get my weather report.

### 3/5 — Let me choose news sections

*2023-03-10*

Wish the app would allow me to choose the type of news I’m interested in by category.

### 1/5 — No thanks

*2023-03-07*

You discontinued the weather app to force people to use your news app. I deleted both, problem solved.

### 3/5 — CBS Philly Salute!

*2021-05-27, version 1.3.0*

Good effort folks! However you have 30 something reviews on the App Store, 2.1 rating it’s like 40%. Please contact APPLE DIRECTLY. They will help out. That would be a helofva story. I would watch something like that. I might invest in AAPL again who knows. RLBX: more stories on RLBX guaranteed $$$.

### 1/5 — Weak

*2021-01-29, version 1.1.0*

Lame, won’t load most news stories ...why bother when I can just watch the local news on tv

### 1/5 — Terrible Ap

*2020-08-25, version 1.1.0*

I have several Philly news aps on my ipad and this one is among the worst.

### 2/5 — Why just in portrait mode

*2020-08-20, version 1.1.0*

Can’t you make this App available in Landscape mode ?
Much easier to read and use. Can’t be that hard to do.

### 1/5 — App is horrible

*2020-08-17, version 1.1.0*

App is horrible

### 1/5 — Still TERRIBLE after update

*2020-08-05, version 1.1.0*

Why is it for ‘Highlights’ (the news) you still have to keep hitting the ‘Load More’ button??? The other topics don’t require that.

I’ll just use another local news source. Your advertisers won’t be happy when people stop using your app because of a poor design.
