6/2024-Recently reinstalled WINK News for local reporting on the severe flooding & was shocked at how stripped down the app has become. Today's app is difficult to navigate and contains sparse news. It's frankly no longer worth the little info it provides. I first installed it winter of 2020-2021 to help my parents secure COVID vaccines, as their friends said it provided detailed, timely info on available shot locations. It *was* very well designed... then. PLEASE RESTORE THE PRIOR HELPFUL APP.

I tap on something from the app (notifications), and instead of bringing me to the story that your app sends me constantly .. it brings me to the "live feed" which is worthless. It has nothing to do with the story you're reporting on in the app. Your app and channel is worthless. I'll watch and listen to NBC2 where it actually works. Thanks but no thanks.

I have used WINK app for going on 6 years now. It USED to be amazing. Now I only get maybe a paragraph then have to click "First reported" which takes me to the article on the web. This is a pain in the back side to have to jump back and forth. Guess I'll have to use another local news app so I know what is going on. Bye bye WINK.
