WINK app needs updating

Useless. The WINK news app is so frustrating due to embedded ads that I can’t get Live News to work for more than a minute. I go to the website. Which means the app is useless.

Completely unusable

The app with the constant ad loading keeps jumping around. You cannot even read an article without the page changing to some sort of ad.

Useless

I’m deleting. It’s become unusable. Pop ups & ads constantly that you can’t even read a single thing.

Not worth it

Waste of time downloading this app. Use to be good but now i cant read an article without constantly having to close pop up videos. Uninstalled it and switched to Gulf Coast News app.

Advertising covers the entire page! Horrible!

Fix your landing page! Whenever I open the app, I cannot see any news articles because they are all covered with 2 or 3 ads. Who designed this anyway? It’s difficult to scroll down to the news stories. Then when you start reading one, the app “jumps.” Please fix this mess-very unprofessional for a so-called News site.
