Won’t play

I’m so disappointed. There are very interesting finds to listen to, but it won’t play more and a minute. I’ll keep checking back to see if this was fixed.

Favorite Local App

I don’t have cable. I love the Very Local app because it allows me to stream my favorite local news and programming from WCVB Ch 5 Boston

Watch what I want

Since it’s not in my area, RI; I wanted to watch Fort Myers, FL, but it won’t let me. I have to watch Boston. Not happy with the app!

Red White and Boom 2026

The event itself was a great milestone, but the broadcast was very disappointing.

The camera work and overall filming quality were poor. The constant autofocus kept locking onto random people in the crowd—at one point making a little kid the focus—while viewers were trying to watch the fireworks. It was frustrating and took away from the experience.

It also didn’t feel like a true live broadcast. It took far too long to get into the app to watch, and there seemed to be significant delays. For such a major milestone event, I expected much better preparation and execution.

Future events of this scale deserve experienced camera crews, better production planning, and a reliable streaming platform so viewers can actually enjoy the moment.
