  1. 5/5My solution to fix Congress & senate

    I listened to the democratic debates each one at least twenty times. Each time I’ve came to same conclusions! First off to even start to fix the overwhelming problems with our governments and solve the very serious unresolved crisis in our country is obviously to start retooling every aspect of our government , not saying our four fathers had it entirely wrong in fact they came very close ! However over the years our governments have mutated into disarray especially our Federal vgovernment because of 1. Special interests and politicians with criminal intent and so called ( “ Lawyers “ ), law makers who are very guilty of shaping our country’s laws and policies to our constitution to their selfish and “at times their so called criminal rule of Law ! “their thought of how our countries Laws should be ! 2. That being said, along with that, thoughs same politicians and law makers and law firms have been lead , directed , closely guided and payed very very very handsomely with unlimited financial backing through The very many many years of ghastly unscrupulous filthy Rich individuals and corporate companies both foreign and domestic . 3. Not to mention these same criminals to our sacred democracy and constitution have also somehow worked their way into high key area’s of our governments and criminally gotten and have successfully stolen top secret information and documents in the past years . 4. So my thesis on the whole problem and the many victims including good and bad countries but especially the American People and also their fault for in allowing it to happen , is the whole and complete fault lies with the lawyers and how bad they were allowed to totally screw and manipulate the American system of law and government to their advantage ! And the only way the America can get it’s country back is not allow anymore lawyers , law firms , lawyer politicians or special interests , or companies who make over an amount of money agreed upon by a newly elected congress and senate ! Newly elected by the people for the people of the United States of the refreshed America !!! So Simple !!! A new Amendment to the constitution and a Partial depletion !

  2. 5/5Super helpful!

    I moved to Florida from Texas days before Hurricane Dorian was expected to make landfall. I searched for local news channels and downloaded this app and it kept me up-to-date and safe throughout the entire ordeal, and especially before I even had wi-fi service because....with my luck, AT&T was also on strike at the time of my arrival! I relied on this app on my iPhone using cellular service. It’s been fun! Needless to say, this app was a literal lifesaver for someone new to the state, experiencing their 1st hurricane, and without wi-fi or any local cable channels!

  3. 1/5I Hate Wasted Time

    This app purports to have an "over-the-air" feature where you can access broadcast content in real time. That's also what was said in the promo which aired many times on the lead up to Hurricane Irma. Part of the pitch was that if you download the app you can watch on a personal device even after the power goes out. On opening it you are, in fact, presented with a YouTube-style video interface which says something like "WATCH LIVE." This is complete bunk! When the video finally loaded what we saw was from four hours earlier (per WPTV's own time display at the screen's bottom right). What's more there was no slider to advance or rewind the video. I tried it again this morning when there were no threatening conditions and much less demand, one would think. Same results, except now the delay was over twelve hours! Full disclosure - No other station has anything better to offer. What really burns me is how all these stations represent themselves as the most up-to-date, tech savvy operation in the market, when in fact even the engineers and IT guys are every bit as amateurish as the beginner reporters they foist on us. Do not waste your time! Especially when it really counts. Like in the teeth of a bad storm.

  4. 5/5Love this app!

    The best part of this app is 5 Things to Know …. I love to read On this day in history! Just wish it was an everyday item. I started using this app during the beginning of the Covid pandemic when most of the TV news was overwhelming to watch the explosion of sickness and death. This app enables me to scan the headlines and read what I choose. And it has news often I’m unable to find anywhere else easily. Thank you for a great app!

  5. 5/5Good News Ap

    We follow the station locally for news and weather information. The app is similar to the actual TV station, meaning it is predictably good. The app loads quickly and has the basic information I need for news and weather. If you follow what is going on in Palm Beach county, the WPTV app is a trusted source that does not have some of the sensationalism other outlets have. The app consistently works well.
