Does Cox Media Group Even Care?

Given the number of complaints about lack of landscape mode (add me in as one), and the lack of even an acknowledgement of a problem, it would be easy to conclude that CMG doesnt care about online watching. Theres no ratings, so no potential revenue. This should have never been released. Since it was, it should have taken no more than 48-72 hours to release the fix.

Hate it

There is going to br a new app.,but to download I would have to buy a iPad, my OS will not be compatible with the new app. It is not worth spending my money to get an app the mostly has OLD news.

MAJOR step backwards

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!

Garbage

When I look for news I dont want to be directed to garbage ads and useless links. APP being deleted.

Bad Update

Doesnt work right. Fix it.

Bad app

The advertisements that follow every story are tacky and unprofessional. Stories are also left on the site for weeks at a time. If you want up to date news, switch to the local 6 news app!

New App

Bring back the old app, new one is lousy.

Why are all the local news apps junk now?

Bring back the old app and put some news on it... This new version is terrible and the news is old... Think Im going to have to delete it the same way I deleted WESHs app... Its a news app! Put some news recent news on it!!!

Like using an app from pre-school

One of the worse news apps out there. The stories regularly dont match headlines. Breaking news is normally a headline and nothing more. National news section is 50% sports even with having a separate section for sports. Forget about world news.

WFTV Eyewitness News

Terrible app. Headlines out of sync. News headlines are not updated very often. I have viewed the same stories for three days straight, time to DELETE!

Issues with notifications

This app gives too many notifications, and the things considered worthy of notifications are ridiculous. In my opinion notifications should be for important breaking news/traffic/weather, not to announce a regularly scheduled weather report. Also, I wish they would stop sending the same notifications more than once. If they send one in the overnight hours, they send it again in the 6 oclock hour...we all saw the overnight one, we dont need a repeat. Also, all to often if you get a notification and you want to read the story, you cant. If you click on the notification, its only a headline, as the entire article isnt in the app yet.

Orlando news please

I have issues with this app. So many times when I open it I am getting the news and weather for Georgia. I thought this was the WFTV app. When I open it I should see WFTV, Orlando Florida and not Georgia. Better yet please bring back the old app. It was much better!!

Yay! An Update!

Is this the update that makes your news stories better? Ive been waiting for that one for awhile now. If this isnt that update then Im sure it will be released soon.

No audio??

Having problems with the live stream--mouths are moving but no audio on my iPad. Works fine on my phone. Yes the volume is turned up. Any suggestions???

Great For watching Central Florida News anytime!

I have been watching WFTV news on this app for some time. I had to time my viewing for live broadcasts which was not always convenient. Now they run the most recent broadcast on a continuous loop. This is a great enhancement and allows me to watch whenever I want! Great job WFTV!

Try this for awhile....

I have a question about your app and the app alerts. I look on your Facebook page and see great stories....yet almost every single notification on your app has a negative connotation to it. Somebody getting killed, murdered, break-ins, car accidents, rapes, crime. GOOD GRIEF!! You do know FEEL GOOD stories is news too, right?? Does every alert have to be that? Can you try sending alerts with POSITIVE stories in them?? Try that for awhile.

Very late updates

This app is supposed to keep me up to the date on breaking news in central Florida, however all the breaking news notifications come 30-60 minutes after the other news stations notifications.

"Watch live" is neither

The big red watch live banner has been continuously displaying obsolete information for the past week or so. 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 test your news feeds and make your UI responsive once more.
