1. 5/5Stupid ads

   I love this app. But I really thought that as a community leader the ads would be more targeted toward helping the people in the community. Instead they are still the same old “doctor” saying watch this video only to try and sale you another fake supplement. Another false claim to lose weight. Scam ads really! I would have thought that as a community leader you would care more than that about the content. It is always about the money! Great app but don’t look at the ads.

2. 2/5Weather loop goes back too many hours! Also, is everything breaking news?

   The weather radar is nice to be able to see, but I don’t have all day to see what the radar was showing 4+ hours ago. I was here. What I need to see is how storms have been moving, at most, over the last hour. Please fix this. Lately, I’ve been going to Fox 8 or other radar apps to view it much more efficiently. As for “BREAKING NEWS”, when I was a child and those words came on the TV, everyone stopped to see what was going on! That’s because breaking news was truly that...something that could honestly affect our daily lives! It wasn’t because of some political spat that was better suited for a soap opera script! Remember the story of the “boy who cried wolf” too many times? Either that’s the goal, or you are just doing it to “keep up with the Jones’s”!! I challenge you to be bold, your own, and give something refreshingly familiar yet new to your viewers...be original!! This feeding frenzy has begun to put reporters more in the league with circus clowns, and people have lost interest. At least I know I have! I only watch the news now for the weather and get that through the app most of the time. How about original stories instead of the same (often exact) words that are being said on every other station?! I guess those of us who remember the way reporters used to be knew this was coming considering that every newspaper and television channel is owned by fewer people than the fingers on my left hand, but it’s sad. The “good ‘ole days” have been gone for around 3 decades, and I’m only 45!!

3. 1/5WXII SCREWED IT UP!

   The old Weather App was excellent - 5 stars for that but it’s being scrapped. The weather on the current site is terrible. It can be pouring rain but nothing shows on the map. I can’t get it to “remember” my chosen area no matter how many times I set it. Don’t even think about using it if you are in a hurry. The traffic part of the app is completely useless. I can be stuck sitting in traffic on 52 for twenty minutes and it shows nothing! NEVER count on it for traffic. The news arrangements make no sense. The stories are all over the place when it comes to organizing content. Often stories stay up for several days when you know that plenty of other stories could & should replace them. If you like ads and have plenty of time to sit through them to get to where you need to go, maybe you won’t mind using this.

4. 5/5WXII App

   I love WXIII.I like the app when checking the weather or for closures. However, I get notifications of new stories and when a click on the app, that is not the story that is presented. You have to scroll and scroll to find it, if it is even there. I find that very frustrating. I get notifications throughout the day and it still the same story that it was to begin with. I think you need to do some upgrading. Thanks

5. 3/5Sometimes quite frustrating

   The biggest reason that I use the WXII app is for weather. Frequently the weather video is many hours if not days behind, especially on the weekend. I would think that once the weather had been aired at the different times during the day, the recording could be posted fairly quickly. Many times I check it around 1:00 or 2:00 PM and the 6:00 AM video is still on. Or checking the weather mid-morning on Saturday or Sunday it may still be the Friday night forecast. I do appreciate the weather alerts, though. Thanks for your hard work!
