Bad. OK for news, but would like more stories to choose from (this is a news organization). Only app I have that forces you to sit through such a long opening screen (can't help but think the night screen looks like the Evil Eye). Accidentally tapped an ad I had no interest in. Could not kill it, even by closing app. Had to mute my phone - glad it didn't happen in a public place. When the ad finally ended, still could not close the ad pop-up - finally had to open settings and force-kill YouTube.

Decent app. Does what it is supposed to. There are two things I would change. First, the splash screen that appears when the app opens takes way to long to go away. Around ten seconds if I timed it right. I want it down to 3 seconds tops. Also, make the videos, especially the live videos, able to be cast to Chromecast. Or better yet, a native Chromecast app would be awesome. But the ability to cast is sufficient. I thought maybe this would happen with the advent of WBIR+. Alas, it did not.

Horrible app. It crashes CONSTANTLY and EVERY single video plays for a brief moment, then is cut off by a black screen and a commerical takes absurdly long to load. (I have an excellent data plan) After many of the commercials, which are apparantly more important than the news in which I downloaded the app for, the news video NEVER even comes back up! Don't waste space and time, just go Google the weather and download SMARTNEWS, which has ZERO ads and customizable news worldwide and local.
