This app still needs a lot of work. The latest update is just packed with more stuff, especially ads. Slow to load and too many notifications. Whoever designed this update clearly did not think of the end-user first. How about a little design thinking? UPDATE: This app continues to he unstable. Can't adjust text size, which is too big by default. Too many ads crammed into the news feed. ugh.

I've watched News on 6 for 10 years, and I've used their phone app for 5 years too. A few weeks ago the app went through a dramatic change to its notifications. Now they only give you enough info to tease you, and forces you to open the app to provide the same amount of info from past notifications. sounds petty.... but it makes a world of difference when it comes to weather, traffic, and sometimes crime locations. I'm reluctantly switching to Channel 2.

Won't install on my phone. Don't think I would have liked it anyway. Had the old app and uninstalled before trying to do this one. Was reading reviews on new one while attempting to install and found out it's only videos. I agree with the other user about liking to quietly read while drinking my morning coffee. Will have to go with another news station for now :/ Edit: a phone later. No problem installing. Now the problem is the ads. They pop up constantly! Sometimes you have to wait for an X to appear in the corner and sometimes it just covers the whole story with no out and you have to X out the app. And I'm sick of the car ad every time I open the app that makes you wait so many seconds til it disappears. NEWS ON 6...Get it together and quit being a salesman!
