It is simply atrocious trying to get the video forecast to play on this glorified web-browser. This station has the best forecast models around, but this recent app design is a big failure. For starters it takes forever to navigate to the video forecast, which ends up just being a mirror of the standard website (which works fine on a PC browser by the way). Then trying to play the video is a trip back to the 90s. The video queues forever, then plays 4 seconds, repeat. I make sure I'm on Wi-Fi, set quality to lowest, it doesn't help. I'm done with this one. Please let me know when you've brought in a new app team and I'll gladly check in again.

Almost useless due to slow speed. I recieved a notification from this app today. I decided to time its response. When I pressed the notification the logo appeared. It took just over two minutes to change screens. I then got a notice that told me it could not reach the Internet. I pressed the "Try Again" button (I knew nothing was wrong with my connection (I am an IT professional). After 61 seconds it connected, the ads appeared, but not the story. After another 38 seconds the story came thru.

The app is very easy to use and flows from one selection to another quickly and smoothly. The existing stories are updated quickly and new articles are added frequently. I check in with WTHR at leat twice a day to keep up. So far I've been impressed with WTHRs straight forward journalistic approach on political and social issues. The other local news sites are extremely bias on those issues and come across as social crusaders and political campaigners.
