Cannot log in

There is some sort of Auth0 error and I can’t log into the app at all. I’ve contacted you several times but no one will even reply to emails. Incredibly frustrating.

FIX IT.

Excessive Notifications

App was working great. However, late last week it started spamming me with excessive notifications and no easily discernible way to reduce the frequency of the messages.

Good quick info and weather. Good mix of local and national news

Brief. Often, All I need

CNY central app not working can’t open the app

CNY central app not working can’t open the app up.. have iPhone 12..

Bad update

The last update was not good. every time I open the live stream.I have to turn off the close caption. Pretty stupid.

Orientation is annoying

This app only works in one orientation. So annoying.

My favorite app no longer works

This channel 3 news app is fantastic if it works. But after the update it just crashes. It won’t turn on at all. I’m on iOS version 12.1, which is older I know. But there was no way to get around updating. It wouldn’t let me turn the app on unless I updated. Very disappointing. I’m heartbroken.

New update, no more dark mode

The newest update changed the interface to all white. No dark mode option. Painful to look at.

Can’t see it

Ever since the last part of August 2022 I can’t see it
Because of a message that is down the middle and I cannot even see the end of that there is no way of viewing this any longer and it used to be my favorite. I was able to get to the end of the message on the Weather app but not this one.

App not working properly after update

I updated the app a few days ago, and now, when I click on a headline in my notifications, the story doesn’t open in the app. It just goes to the main newsfeed page. Then, when I try to open a story on the newsfeed page, it doesn’t always open, just kind of buffers, and I have to close and open again. This is very inconvenient and frustrating. This is my go-to news app and I never had this problem before. Please fix ASAP!

App update has issues

No news, just noise

I’ve had this app for a while attempting to stay current with local news. But the app consistently fails at accomplishing that. Periodically, the app will generate an alert about something happening in the region. But if you click the alert to open the app and read more, there isn’t more to read. The article will claim it is a “developing story” (or similar) and provide no more info than was contained in the alert. I think they are just trying to get their advertisements in front of more eyes.

When I have used the app to read local news, articles are very shallow in content and “reporters” rarely ask questions that should be answered. Rather, they talk a little bit about what is happening, but never seek or provide substance.

Apparently this “news” group is all about selling ads and fitting coverage into their on-air schedule with far less attention being spent on actually getting information to the region they cover.

I’ll keep the app on my device so that I get alerts about what is happening locally, but for details about those alerts, you’ll need a different source (and app).

Love the local new but the app needs work.

I enjoy reading the local news articles that app displays, but the poor scrolling makes my want to close the app instantly.

Can’t mobile app

This is the worst news app on my phone! You run the same stories for days at a time. I check in with other news apps such as News Channel 9 and they are far more superior to your site. They update their stories on a daily if not hourly schedule leaving your news in their dust. I am deleting your app for lack of interest!!!!!! Too bad you don’t take more interest in your mobile news app programming!

Not an improvement

The app Updated yesterday, but now the “live” weather is yesterday’s too. Please get your act together soon.

No sound

I try to play the weather forecast and there isn’t any sound.

Viewing locked

Would get a better review if the app rotated to wide screen instead of vertical only. Doesn’t work with the iPad Pro 12 with a keyboard and screen protector stand. Annoying that it locks in tall mode only.

Cny central app

The app freezes up all the time I open a news article. I can’t scroll up or down. I have to close out the entire app and wait a few min and try again. This usually works.

Sinclair Group front

Just deleted the app- if they’re going to read canned political remarks dictated by a conservative conglomerate, I’ll get original news from other sources.
