Ratings and reviews

I like having local news available on my phone, but the app itself needs work, and the advertising is just ridiculous. If you want to watch a live stream, you have to watch an ad first, on top of all the ads already in the live broadcast. Then to top it off, the full screen option doesnt actually make the stream full screen, the picture is cut off, to make room for yet another advertisement.

When this app works its great to check local weather and traffic. It provides the best information. However, you are forced to watch a 30 second ad, if the content you want doesn't stream and you click the play button, you are forced to watch another 30 second ad. For sone reason, there are times when You can't even get weather & traffic because there is a varsity program on. Please move that off your traffic and weather reports, it doesn't belong on a traffic and weather report channel.

This is good for information when you need it such as on 9/1 with the crazy weather we had... BUT there is no way to control what kind of notifications you get. If you have notifications enabled you get push notifications for EVERYTHING. So, if you just want notifications about the weather and it's impacts during a major storm, turn on notifications. Otherwise keep it off or you'll be bombarded.
