5/5Great App for News and Weather
This is about the only app I use for news and weather. After recent storm activity, the only thing I would change is when severe weather is actually occurring the user should not have to watch a 10 second commercial before getting the live severe weather feed. That 10 seconds could be the difference between life and death and the delay is inexcusable, if it can be avoided. Live feed should occur immediately especially when tornados are in the area and all other power is out. Just a suggestion to improve the app from a user standpoint.

3/5Unorganized app but I love the station
The news itself and weather reports are all outstanding. This review is about the app. The alerts pique your interest and you go to swipe the alert to get more info, only most of the time you will not be directed to ANY content the alert is for. I imagine some of these are to get you to "Tune in" to broadcasts. It would be nice to know you don't need to bother with wasting your time trying to find more info on the "alert aka teaser" because none exists. You never know if you're getting an alert that will lead you to more info or one that wastes your time because it's a teaser. I find this disrespectful of my time. The LIVE features during weather are great. The weather alerts are awesome - I get some of those before the Weather Service alerts. I find the weather alerts the most useful feature of this app. The search feature is not very robust. It is difficult to find what you are looking for most of the time unless it's live weather

5/5App
I'm in agreement with the other reviews. Needs to be better organized, need to be able to have the option of watching the ad. There are many times that I can't watch the video of the news as it's late and it disturbs those around me trying to sleep. Please post news events without making us watch a video of the news. You have the content right under it but we are forced have the video play first. Your app viewers DO NOT like this. Otherwise, besides the disorganization, your coverage of the latest news is excellent!

The only thing I dont like about the news on the website is all the ads. Plus if you want to re run the clip you have to watch the ad over again. Also during sever weather when I am trying to find out weather warnings before you can get to the live severe weather coverage you have to wait for the ads to play when this short time could make a life saving difference as to where the tornado is. This actually happened this spring. There was a tornado warning for my area and I had to wait for the ads on line to play I made the decision to leave my home based on where the storm was.

2/5I love six in the morning but way too many commercials
I watch six in the morning every weekday when I’m getting ready for work. I try to watch the evening and 10 o’clock news but when is preempted it doesn’t always announce why, it just ask of the app is not working. Also there are way too many commercials. I know that there are commercials on the live feed but I have also seen Facebook footage of the news team between sets. The app could do this instead if we pay extra to be commercial free. Just a thought, I hope you guys consider it. Also, when the show is preempted by national network, maybe you could put a runner across the bottom of the screen or even a primitive card with writing on it.
