Notification issue!

I toggled/signed up for only sports notifications but I get all types of notifications. Please fix asap!!

I want to like this so much more than I do

This app is way too problematic. Having reliable local news is important, but it’s too difficult to use this app. From videos going full screen on their own while trying to read, to there being too many adds, to article notifications opening to the app home screen instead of the article. I’ve tried to like this app for so long and just can’t try anymore, it’s too annoying.

Nonstop videos

I tried reading an article and I got nonstop videos. If this happens again, I will delete the app and stop watching the channel.

Unloaded

Too many errors
Incorrect reporting because they do not proofread.
I really liked it sending the wrong article when i forwarded it.
Since they seem unable to correct that i have unloaded it.

Recent updates have bugs in the app

The news article will suddenly vanish and comes back after some time. Again it would get vanished. This started happening for last week. Closing and opening the app in iPad doesn’t resolve the problem.

More Michigan football notifications!

I signed up for Michigan football news notifications but you don’t send out enough in my opinion. I’d love more to be able to keep up with my favorite team if you can! Thanks!!

Inconsistent

Not all times of articles are handled consistently

App slow to update if at all

So before there was 1 closing that took 3 minutes and multiple open and close to read
Now there are 4 but all fuzzed out. So less than helpful

Don't use it for the weather

I have used this app for YEARS. Since Feb that weather tabs on the link hardly work. I emailed the tech dept. and they had me delete it and redownload it. It worked for a little bit and then would glitch out on me. I emailed them again and they told me to pull down so it can refresh. I have done that, even before I deleted the old app. It doesn't work and it still does not work. Now I can't even get the weather portion to load at all.

We need a solid local news app. This is almost there. It just drives me crazy that whenever you swipe to open an article through a notification, it just opens the app instead of opening the article. Then it’s difficult to find the article you’re looking for. If they can fix that issue, it’ll be a great app.

New cigar bar

LUXURY not LUXARY. SHAME ON YOU!

Missing things

No way to let them know shot errors and issues with articles. There seems to be a lot of those sadly

The app fails to provide a feedback mechanism for problems with articles

Has a long way to go

Suffers from serious pagination and correct grammer issues. Spaces missing, words broken up by pictures or page layouts that are not correct. Rotate inconsistent. Programming decidedly lopsided. Their servers seem unable to handle the load
It needs a way to contact when there are glaring errors in stories. The contact support doesn’t actually seem to make any difference. Words missing….

It would be 5 stars if it wasn’t for all the ads

You might have to sit through 8-10 ads before actually seeing a news story. They only have like 15 ads altogether that they play so you hear the same thing over and over again. I would be able to deal with 2-3 ads but this is ridiculous. Sometimes they play the ad back to back. I just ended up getting an antenna which has less ads than the streaming service.

Live stream window

I really like the app. But it would be better if the live stream video could run in a pop out window instead of having to keep the full app or browser page open to watch/listen. Then I can answer text messages etc.

Saved Stories

App will not permanently bookmark stories you want to save. Instantly reverts as soon as you click it to save. Please fix.
