Not worth the aggravation

It cuts in and out
The commercials are after every story now! Will be finding other ways to stream my local news.

SERIOUSLY

Why even offer livestream coverage if you're going to throw a huge commercial break it gets stuck on? Live coverage of our children performing at the Stars of Tomorrow gala! There weren't many parent tickets available this year so I just missed all but 3 seconds of my child's performance. Awful

App is stuck on notification screen

For the last two weeks I will get an alert from app and when I click on the app it opens to a notification screen, I toggle them all on, it then has me put in a zip for locationโ€ฆthen nothing! Thereโ€™s no X to get to the appโ€ฆI deleted and reinstalled, no change ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ

Last update rendered app unusable

After the last update was applied, the video takes up nearly the entire screen, and I can only read two lines of text at the bottom. There is no way to close the video. I basically can't read any of the news stories anymore. What the heck did you do to your app?! I guess I need to read my local news elsewhere now.

Latest update ruined it

It wonโ€™t let me read the news unless I turn on notifications.

I deleted the app.

What did they do to the app?

Since the last update, if my iPad is in portrait mode, the video takes up the entire screen and cannot be minimized so I can read the print. And there seems to be only one size of print, which is gigantic. The option to make print smaller doesnโ€™t work. This used to be my go to app for Rochester news, but not anymore

Even worse after update

After todays update it will not let you even open it,I guess itโ€™s time to get rid of this junky app!!!!

Wouldnโ€™t work

Downloaded today, opened up and it said I wasnโ€™t connected to the internet. But I was.
Just a blank screen with a not connected to the internet message.

Frustrating app

Very slow response. Overrun with ads. Painful getting to other articles from within an article. A very frustrating app!

Great if you want ads

This app is so annoying. They could not cram another ad on the screen. Everywhere you click opens a browser. Very poor design!

Liberal station

Just another

Wheel of fortune

Really โ€” two days in row you preempt for the Bills. Letโ€™s remember that not all of your viewers are sports fans.

News

Cause I get tiered of hearing about the COVID 19 so I stopped watching all of it only till the weather then I change the station to something else

Great updates, great tone!

Am continually pleased with topics, style, tone, coverage!

Great team

Enjoy the news that is local, factual and accurate.

App freezes

Sometimes app freezes on news pages. Also Canโ€™t figure how to get dismiss pop up ads. Local news is not a menu choice until you open one of the local headlines on home page. Needs work to raise its usefulness.

Keeps freezing

Your interactive ads keep freezing your stories, making it that you canโ€™t scroll

Good when it works

Lately it seems to freeze when I scroll through the stories. I end up having to close it and then try it again

Terrible

This app constantly locks up and I have to close it down and reopen it if I want to continue. I will try one of our other news outlets.
