Sad

Real journalists do not inject their personal opinions into their work. An app is only as good as its content.
Many “stories” reference something but never say what they are referencing.
They should Provide all the facts or provide none at All. Oh they do have the none at all down pat

Why include videos

When you cannot select to turn on the audio? Is this only for people who read lips?

Slow to respond
Freezes a lot

Dim screen cannot access any articles. Guess if they can’t display the ad then no one gets to read anything. Good thing it’s not a serious emergency

Trash App old news

This app is terrible! Old news keeps getting pushed with new times over and over again! Users want to see real time news.
Do not download this app. Last weekends news stories are STILL being pushed!
Time to delete app!

Bad form

Click on some of the articles and it tries to launch Google with an api error. Odd behavior when clicking on a headline

Issue with adds

After recent updates, if you touch an Ad, not click on it, it opens my browser with the Ad. This happened when the app 1st came out and now does it again.

Dismayed

Although I have set up an account on TV8 website, it doesn’t seem to work with the app. As I am really dismayed with the poor design of the app and lack of access.

Out of date news

Biased and well i guess older out of date news hits their points better than actual news.
Where is the duty to the public, all the public.
Yellow journalism

Poorly written and does not look at these sky high view for their articles and just run with 1 angle missing the bigger picture of everyone impacted

They do not update articles when it does not fit their narrative. They just leave the articles out there for weeks with the incorrect information front and center

Kettle pot

politically divisive reporting
Spelling terrible
Grammar horrible
More PSA than anything. No questions seem to be asked in reporting

I really like the biased reporting but when you point out spelling writes they do not think it important to correct them. Spelling matters as it changes makes places things.

If they don’t care about that…
Makes me think of a comment someone made. They care more about quantity than quality.

Autoplay of videos is NOT appreciated. Who suddenly likes loud things coming out of their phones when reading an article?

Works better than the weather app

Clunky ui
Poorly researched
Poorly written articles
They seem to be lacking in the steps of journalism and journalistic integrity
Recycled news from other outlets so is this a reimaging of hln?
Stories tend to have an amazing lack of information

Awful

The app is so full of adds you can’t even get anything useful. Weather forecast is no longer actually useable. Whatever updates they made they need to undo!!

Might as well be faux news

Done with your right wing false propaganda headlines. You’re supporting the wrong fight!

They let me down

They said 5-7” of snow… my butt! We got like 1.5”. Devastated!

Liars….

Annoying so I’m using other weather apps.

I have been having to open the four or five times for the app to stay open. This is so annoying that I’m skipping the use of this app for other weather apps, specifically the weather channel app and apple weather.
