### 3/5 — Split Screen Needed

*2025-04-14, version 215.0*

I like watching the news but also need to have the ability to split screen so I can also work with emails and other functions. The lack of this feature is severely limiting in today’s world. Please update and add this feature.

### 1/5 — Too many glitches

*2025-01-15, version 212.7*

App tends to freeze a lot and has too many glitches. Sometimes the sound skips or plays on repeat while the video continues. I open and close even reboot my phone and it still does the same thing.

### 1/5 — App never up to date.

*2022-01-08, version 7.0*

Hard to find local news at a glance. App not updating, tired of looking at old news from several days ago. The 7 day forecast is showing weather from 4 days ago forward. I rather have the old view back.

### 2/5 — Amaturish

*2021-05-04, version 6.4.1*

No live news at news times, no weekend updates.

You really need to get your game into the 21 century.

### 1/5 — Worthless..

*2020-12-21, version 6.1*

it wasn’t too bad an app for getting local news. Got used to the no updated stories over the weekend. But now nothing beyond the same couple of local stories opens. Just the title and picture.. no text. I believe you have just given up on the app. I would say Please fix so I don’t have to delete.. but you probably won’t. So.. delete both  WBOC apps I will.

### 3/5 — Screen goes white after opening article!

*2020-11-09, version 6.0.02*

I am using an iPhone 11 with iOS 14.2. When I open the app and go to an article I want to read the screen will go white and I have to go back and open the article again. This started happening after the WBOC App update about a month ago. Please fix this problem! I tried using app support but it does not work.

### 1/5 — Worst News Station

*2019-12-30, version 4.2.4*

WBOC is never up to date with breaking news!!! Anything that happens, you hear about it says later! Very poor with up to date news!!!!!

### 2/5 — Just like their website, it’s lights out on weekends

*2018-09-30, version 3.13.0*

They claim to be “Delmarva’s News Leader” buy other than TV news broadcasts they don’t update the local news all weekend.  That’s sad from a company who is buying up all kinds of radio stations and other tv stations.  They are becoming a monopoly locally while not providing the news they are in business to provide.

### 1/5 — Poor Grammar

*2018-05-17, version 3.10.2*

I honestly don’t know how the editors have jobs. I just read an article that has no fewer than ten grammatical errors in the few short paragraphs that it contains. One of the headlines reads, “Salisbury Recovery Home Looking to Expand It’s Outreach.” 
No wonder the rest of the country thinks we’re backwards here on the Delmarva Peninsula.

### 1/5 — New version is terrible

*2017-12-22, version 3.9.2*

What happened to National, International, Technology, and Entertainment news? All of them are now gone in this new version. It’s nowhere near as easy to navigate. Stop trying to fix what isn’t broken.
