Pros and cons of WFTV Eyewitness News app for iPhone and iPad

WFTV Eyewitness News app good for

I love that you fixed the bug with opening but now there is only one other bug left to fix and its under the eye witness tab where you have live news when you click done it just goes back to that tab and will not allow me to switch to another tab like weather or horoscopes after I select eyewitness tab
Great update to the app. More visually appealing than the previous version. Bring back the radar loop!
Like the new update. But in the last few days, nothing is on the home screen. I have to access the menu to get my news. Please fix as technology has made us lazy and we want things now. I do like the look of the app after the update. Thanks
Very clean an easy to use. Love that I can get straight news and not have to look through an entire website!
The update is great! I love it, but whats not great it this old icon that Im stuck with. I want the new icon shown in the App Store. It has a nicer cleaner look. You should be using the same icon no matter the device. This old icon HAS to go! Fix this and Ill change my rating to 5 stars.
Ive been very happy with this app. Im a news junkie and need to know what is happening in Orlando and this great app does that. It always keeps me informed and up-to-date on whats happening.

Some bad moments

This app doesnt seem to understand what breaking news is. Instead they send you alerts to watch the regular broadcasts. Irritating.
App is slow and often does not update! Poor reporting of local news. App is also difficult to use and navigate.
Checked the latest version of the app in my prep for hurricane Matthew. So many ads embedded in app it is impossible to get to ANY information without dealing with slow load times. Easier to use the national hurricane center. Once again WFTV shows us Ad revenue is more important for them. They had it working but now with the latest iOS patch its broke again. sure would be nice if someone would test an app before they dump it on us. It is garbage and Im voting with my feet and going to the WESH app. It works and seems to have FAR less commercials. bye Martie, Bye bob. Original review - Live feed doesnt work; forcing portrait mode is just wrong; crashes when you select "contact us". Please fix. I need my daily dose of Martie and Bob!
Stories are grossly outdated by weeks. The same stories under US and world news have been displayed for the past four weeks. The big red ugly banner displays obsolete information Sometimes itll display the same obsolete event title for one or two days. When you click on the big red obnoxious banner to"watch live" content. you receive a blank screen. Also, sharing stories crashes the app. Used to be a decent app. Please update and test your news feeds and make your UI responsive once more.
This app is terrible. First I get alerts for EVERYTHING. What ever happened to breaking news?! I dont need an alert to tell me what to expect on the 6pm broadcast... Thats why I tune in. Also, if I click on an alert you take me to your website... Isnt the point of an app to take me to that and not have to pull up the Internet?!? Terrible. On par with bright house. Deleting.
This app sends me "breaking news" alerts at all hours of the night. I dont need to know what is going to be featured on the 6pm news at 1 oclock in the morning. Alert me if it is urgent.
