More about advertising than News
I am deeply disappointed with the current user experience. Requiring a registration wall to continue watching a live stream during a tornado warning is a significant safety concern. The registration process itself failed multiple times, cutting off access to critical information during a storm. Emergency broadcasts should be accessible without technical barriers.

ads are idiotic
in the middle of a tornado warning when i’m frantically trying to find coverage of the storm tracker to watch, ad breaks are EXACTLY what i want to encounter. :) yikes!
Ad Burrito/No Casting Support
The app’s live stream is sandwiched between two big ads, and the live stream cannot be casted to a screen/airplayed as it just sits there. It’s hard to get the family to gather around a small phone screen. I’d prefer to watch WKRN but oof the ads are out of control.
Edit: There’s a Roku app. Woohoo!

Many Longgg ads
Too many video ads. I don’t even use the app anymore. It became little news between long video ads. For Esther I use Fox17 red alert. I’m not sure it’s even a local station but it’s much better at weather alerts than channel 2’s news or weather app. I do watch channel 2 on TV (not the app because of ads before trying to watch a tornado warning) during tornado outbreaks because Danielle Breezy gives the best info. Channel 5 is a close second.

Has a LONG way to go
App is okay for reading the news, although it’s easier through their website with a browser. The “live” stream is a joke. It’s literally yesterday’s news; it may say it’s the morning news, but it’s really last night’s 10pm newscast. App isn’t really worth even the time to find and download it. Just go to WKRN.com - it’s a much better experience than what this garbage app offers.
