Ratings and reviews

My biggest complaint is the amount of alerts sent. breaking news such as shootings, traffic accidents or severe weather, but Buckeyes are the official State candy, non stop on the OSU Buckeyes (granted their important). but these alerts are overkill. I have watched WSYX for many years. At one point today, I received eight alerts within an hour. Therefore, I am deleting the app, but will watch the noon and evening news. the anchors at both times are very good.

App is okay, but after recent update can't go full screen. There is no option to go full screen. Use to work just fine. If you want to use it to watch the news don't waste your time. It will frustrate you trying to get to full screen. You look for the icon to go full screen, turn phone or tablet to go full screen, close it open it, each time getting more adds. But you will not get full screen.

Excessive and useless notifications. There is no way to filter the types of notifications you get from the app, and even though they "promise not to send too many" the app still sends probably a dozen a day or more. Also if you do find one that interests you 9/10 times tapping the notification takes you to an unrelated article with the one you are interested in nowhere to be found.
