WCVB NewsCenter 5

I like it

You rival the network apps...good job......

This app is useless for me. I uninstalled it. Shame because it was good at one time. Do not like the weather forecasting in this app. The old weather app was much easier to navigate and figure out what is going on. Snow fall maps for example are overlayed with greyed out text and hard to see behind that. Not easy to find the forecast and ten day forecast sometimes. Big ads pop up which is annoying. I don't want to watch a video every time. Uses up to much data watching a video when on 4G. If you liked the old WCVB weather app download the WBZ 4 app. It's just like the old WCVB weather app.

Always Watched channel 5 since Chet, Nat, and Jim were anchors. Didn't care for Susan with but loved Dickie, David, Harvey,,Ed and the rest. My son always knew it was time for school,when he heard your theme music. Now on my tablet so I can keep you close when traveling.

now is operating smoothly.can watch top stories and view video on my local state wcvb.

Functionality could be improved. Too many notices of postings. Need to be able to choose which news item is important. Local versus national.

Download multiple times....screen never moves past tap icons screen..love wcvb but app needs work

Good local news app

I like WCVB television news, but the ads in this app are very intrusive, suddenly popping up full screen while trying to look at the news or weather, and frequently resulting in unintentionally launching the ad in a browser. It's annoying me enough that I've decided to uninstall it.

Fix the tirffic gps

This app is easy interact with

Commercials work great inside a video, then the screen goes blank, and I can't see the video. Also who cares about looking at multi million dollar homes? What audience are you trying to capture? The one percent??? Stupid

I've used this ap before w my old phone. Couldn't wait to download it to this one. It has kept me in touch with Boston all over the country in my travels Txting in from Kona HI Still check in to WCVB every day here in the Big Island of Hawai'i Lou Geoffrion

Often sends breaking news alerts and when I tap on it the article is either not there or not updated with the info in the alert. It also never has the school closing I need updated. I get it from my friends hours prior.

Chromecast is a must have! If I can get the high def signal through the air why not keep up with technology. Other than that, notifications can be too frequent and not exactly breaking news worthy.

Ads interrupt Everything you try to read or watch. Great app, but diseased with constant ads

Why did WCVB close the weather app. It used to be the best , most comprehensive, weather app available. Now all I get is the 10 day text forecast and a stripped down radar image. No more updates every 6 minutes , instead one image every 1 /2 hour. And the addssssss. Just too many, and they are in between every story, if you can follow the story without getting lost in an ad quagmire.

This is good for news

16 ads, then no content. Tried to watch local news during power outage. This is now junk

Does not work on note 5. Uninstalled and reinstalled three times

I watch channel 5 news all the time. Only news station I watch.

This app crashes my phone every. single. time. I use it, so I have to take the battery out and force a restart. It used to work well. Now its horrible.

I think they doubled the advertisements also when I turn my phone sideways it doesn't go to full screen. Use to love this app was the first one I put on every morning to start my day no more

Since the updates the videos have been sounding choppy

When they announce school closings they never announce my high school. There is starting to be a lot of adds and I can't rotate videos anymore. Other than this I like it.

The old wcvb weather app was pretty good. Now it has been dumbed down with splash screens of ads and useless info.

The weather video on this app doesn't have the option to go full screen so I can't watch it. Channel 7's is fine tho. Unfamiliar faces, but I can see the faces

Hate the alerts of bs stories.I want to view news when I want and the alerts are annoying and screw up the sound on my headphones so I'm deleting the app once and for all.Also can't view videos.

Excellent for overall local and other news, plus best local weather site fueled by best weather crew, in a very competitive market.

I always watch this station on tv. It is the most informative and I trust it.

Just great

Very disappointed with the weather in this app compared to the old one. Kinda the only reason I downloaded this app cuz I was forced to for weather alerts. Sad cuz WCVB is my favorite weather.

The old app was better sometimes change for the sake of change is not the right thing to do! If it ain't broke don't fix it!

WCVB Channel 5 is the only news I watch daily from the Eye Opener to the 11:00 p.m. news. Best news reporting in Boston.

Too many upgrades,killing my device memory.Wish that app could be transferred to SD card,but app criteria won't let me.

Love the TV station, but... ... why do the commercials have to so rudely and loudly pop up and obscure the news? I am about to deinstall the app.

After updates many problems, cannot view videos

Good, but ads. My 1st world problem with this app is, if you change your phone's horizontal or vertical direction when watching a video, hope you enjoyed the ad, cause it's gonna replay and restart the video automatically.

Today I noticed that there is no live streaming from the app it now says nowcast or on demand so I can watch the news at noon and so forth please fix it

The information shown in this application is in many cases old and repetitive. WCVB has always had a great reputation in sports and in many cases the news shown is old and repetitive. The regular news stories are also not updated when other news stories become available. In many cases I want to read the story, but are presented with a video.
