Ratings and reviews

When you click on any news item , it freezes up. Can't scroll up or down. Tried restarting the app. No good. Also , uninstalled and then reinstalled the app , still doesn't work. Now I remember why I uninstalled it a few months ago ! It's garbage ! I'll stay with WBIR and WVLT ! Come on WATE , get with the program !

Pretty worthless. It sends me notifications that I can only read a little bit of. And when I click on the notification, it takes me to the app but not that article. So now I know there was a multivehicle accident on I40. I have no idea where or when or how or anything else. The page the notification goes to is the traffic page and I don't see any articles with any such headline. Just got the app-now I've uninstalled. I see no point in being alerted about news I can't find info on.

New, updated version is terrible. Much of a smartphone screen is taken up by ads and news videos that never load, so trying to read the news is too much of a bother. The added weather option is similar. What was once my go-to news source has been uninstalled out of frustration, and replaced with another news app.
