  1. 4/5Great app but...

    This is great app and it is very helpful for snow day alerts. It gives me great traffic and weather updates to help with my daily life. The only thing keeping it from five star is that you can only save one school for snow day alerts as I work in a different school district than my kid. This makes things a bit harder in the winter. Otherwise great app!

  2. 3/5Some good stories and some that shouldn’t be “news”.

    App has some good news relevant to the area and even nationally. But I question some stories they post as real “news”. Maybe it’s a slow news day so they put in filler junk but I’d rather not see a story about a sex worker in Ann Arbor getting stuck in a chair. And when did “sex” work become legal in Michigan????? Our values and morals are clearly heading in the wrong direction and the news isn’t helping by reporting on garbage like this.

  3. 4/5Live 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.

  4. 1/5Don'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.

  5. 1/5I 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.

    We've added some minor performance improvements in this release.

  • 6.30

    What's New in version 6.30: • Added ability to pinch and zoom in on images in news stories. • Additional performance improvements to give you an improved news experience on iOS 13. • Note: This is an OS upgrade to iOS 13, and this app update only supports iOS 13 and iOS 12.

  • 6.32

    • A new weather radar map from our weather provider is in this app update, as our weather provider will discontinue the old radar map in the near future. Please be sure to update to this version of our app to ensure your weather radar map continues to display radar in the future. To upgrade the new radar map, we had to update the app's code base to support the latest iOS operating system versions. As a result, it's possible there could be some older iOS devices that may have trouble running this updated app.
