Ratings and reviews

This was the best news app for mobile, but after the updates I get an error msg, and a black screen. Have to close and start over every few minutes. Frustrating when watching important news. Please fix this issue. this is a new issue for 2019, the app is stopping everytime I click on a story, what's going on on? this has been my go to news channel for some time, but i am getting a little frustrated with it now, please fix it!!

They got it working and it was the best TV news in Orlando. The October 2021 release, to fix some bugs, broke it again. It is unusable. Please fix it and don't touch it. It just spins when trying to read the news. My old phone (Android 6) might have been the problem. So, i bought a new phone (Android 11). The same problem exists. Somebody must be opening this site, because i can't. If zero stars was an option, this app deserves it.

This app is terrible. Makes my eyes go nuts with all the popping up of ads constantly. Try and watch something and the screen will jump to something else. Constantly having to go back to what I'm trying to read or watch. This is very annoying. C'mon Wftv, do you really need all these apps here ?? Not here to watch adds, just the news. An occasional ad would be fine, but yours is loaded down so much with ads that the screen just constantly keeps jumping around. Irritating and deleting this app.
