You’re finally getting the news out. The old way the news was renewed very much.

No news

Same stories most every day. No up to date news. Seems they aren’t keeping the app current.

Fairly good app

Occasionally this app would not be right about the weather and does crash a lot (for me at least) overall a mid app

WRTV news? More like WNBA news

This might as well be a WNBA news app because it’s practically the only news they cover.

Horrible typos

Who is doing your proofreading recently? Because maybe you need to hire me…. Because I have caught over 6 typos in 5 different articles in just the last two weeks.
