Ratings and reviews

My issue is with the app alerts and those running it. The alert message does not contain the entire headline forcing you to click on the alert to go to the app which take five to ten seconds to load the majority of time. I get you're trying to get users to go to the app but either make it load faster or just show the entire headline on the alert if you want to continue being my top choice for local news alerts.

Terrible app! Been fighting this app on & off for about a year. Only reason I've kept it this long was because WFTV is the only local news I've liked since 1999. Sometimes, it works great for months and then, one day, it will stop loading. I've waited up to five minutes. This will continue anywhere from a couple of days to, this time, it's been at least two weeks. I then have to go to the website and scroll through until I find the articles I want to read. Finally uninstalled. Bye bye!

I want news headlines, not click bait headlines. The push notifications are become more annoying than useful. If this continues then I will uninstall the app. There are multiple Orlando area news channels I can get my local news from.
