Too loud

Ap opens news with extremely loud advertising. Totally distracts from news I am trying to read. Unable to find mute or skip ad

Owner

To hard to use when a pop up add is first then you have a red 1 always that never goes o

Video Player

I don’t want videos to start automatically.

Too many ads

Too many ads and the video start playing automatically which is so annoying! Fire the company that designed this.

Latest update is useless

The latest update is awful. It doesn’t open the story I click on is now flooded with ads. It’s bad enough the reporting all along has been mediocre are best. Deleting the app.

New App

Prefer the old app, have a 1 on the app showing something and can’t get rid of it? Don’t like the new format.

Terrible App

Not as easy to navigate as old one

Protect’s itself, not the user

Caution: take a look at how this app collects, uses and disseminates your personal information. The privacy policy is pretty much “no privacy”.
The terms of use are worse. I pulled this from the TOU:
“19. Termination: GLM reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate your membership or account, and/or disable your access to all or part of our Services, for any reason or no reason, with or without notice. Sections 3, 8 - 20 of this TOU will survive termination, whether you voluntarily close your account or cancel your membership or whether we terminate your membership, account and/or disable access to our Services for any reason.” The first 18 sections are just as bad.
This is worse than the annoying pop up ads!

Very backwards app

This is the worst of all my news apps! The print is VERY small and there is no way to increase text size in the app. Also if you could make the app visible in landscape it would improve visibility, but awe no you can not do that either 🤮. Please join the 2020’s and fix this!

audio ads

Too many audio ad interr

Disappointed

Was working great then nothing. App won’t open. Emailed the station about this and got zip for a reply. Deleted…..

A Favorite

This is one of my favorite weather apps. The ads don’t seem too big on my phone anyway.

The app is very informative and easy to view.

Sick of ads

This app has deteriorated tremendously. Ads, ads, ads. Click on the news, you can’t get to it without going through a plethora of ads. Close the ads, you will never get to focus in the article you want to read as the ad you just closed now has an audio file playing. Disgusting. Select another article to read. Ditto, more ads or a non-related video is inserted above the article you want to read. Attempt to scroll down below the unrelated video to read, bam! The video is playing an audio file you can’t close about black history month. All I wanted to do was read the article about the 400 birds the DNR think died of bird flu. Delete sounds pretty good. I’ll find another news app which isn’t so loaded with ads.

App

I love your app but all of a sudden it quit working, it won’t even open up?????? Disappointed 😞 hope you can fix it???🙏

Can’t find where to vote for game of the week.

I’m wanting to vote for the game of the week and it says to do it in the poll below. There’s no poll below so I can vote.

Best news source, most irritating app!!

WNEM is one of the best news sources locally but the app is the worst app for all the local news outlets. When pop up and loud ads interrupt my news feed I just shut it down and go to another local news app.

WNEM

WNEM is the only news network that my husband and I watch. Thanks for being our number one news team. 🤜🤛👍

Great job

Ch 5 has a Great news, weather & sports crew.

The ads always freeze unusable

Ever since you’ve put in a lot of ads in the app me and a friend been having a lot of freezing trying to click out of Them just did another update if not better I am deleting
Not a fan of a crap load of ads popping up constantly anyway…

Weather

Weather app is very hard to follow, hard to find radar, and follow along with forecast each day! The old app was a lot better with the weather! now you have to enter a nickname! That’s just ridiculous!
