As far back as June 2016, many people complaining that after reading a story the home page goes back to the top and it's very annoying. Same goes for me. Why hasn't it been fixed yet?

In 2017 it's hard to believe that after reading an article this app always returns to the top of the feed.

I absolutely find the new format deplorable. The home screen is way too cluttered, and only does what it wants to do, instead of what you direct it to do. Uninstalling.

It is very user unfriendly. I was trying to get closings and it wouldn't give any but a thru i, it wouldn't move. I can never bring in furry freinds, it is just a blank page. This is the worst app for wfmz. Please improve it.

Must the preview images of this app download always include the worst possible news articles? This time around it's about the gentleman killed in Beltzville.

Fonts are small. Weather daily update is a test in patience. Takes too long to load. The info shows up, I start reading (very small font) & the page shifts around because it isn't loaded all the way yet. After 2-3 times it stops shifting & I can read the daily update. Previous version was simpler, quicker & info appropriate. Each weather item was accessed separately & quickly. Too much work to get a quick update. This is an app not a web page. Yes I have the weather app which has its own set of issues.

As almost all recent reviews mention, returning to main menu after reading an article you're placed back at the 1st article. This is annoying.

The font size in articles is way too small. I can't even imagine someone with poor vision trying to read them. The new font is hard enough to read as it is because it's so thin, but the size makes it very difficult, even for someone like me who usually has no trouble reading small print. At the minimum we need to be able to adjust the size.

You took a good app and ruined it. The print is so small and thin it is unreadable. Like your news content but hate the new app. Was hoping you would fix but alas I guess not. Regrettably deleting...

Much more difficult to use. Too much video. Want a quick update not qasing through a presentation. On this day is now a back and forth mess. Go back to the old format, please.

Before the recent UX changes the app did it's job and gave me access to the news. This new design is confusing and for those of us with screens bigger than 5 inched a bit hard to use one handed with the menu button located in the upper right hand corner. The font change has made it difficult for me to read the articles and the videos auto play. It seems to me that the app is just a short cut to the poorly redesigned webpage and not an actual app. The pop up ads are god aweful too

Hard to read font. Scrolled to the bottom of the weather section and why did it jump to the front page? I open the weather map and it displays Africa. The old app wasn't broken, why fix lt?

This new app has taken the casting option out. I watched wfmz every morning. Guess not anymore. And location required is unnecessary.

With version 4.5, this app went from bad to worthless. It keeps the annoying bug where after reading a news article, the Back button goes back to the very top of the list of all the articles instead of where you were in the list. Lots of new misfeatures, including a smaller, thinner hard to read font, a big bright glaring white menu bar that can't be dismissed now occupies the left third of the screen, and the advertising space has been expanded. On a Nexus 7, only two news article columns (instead of four) now fit on the screen, so there's twice the height to scroll through to get back to where you were after reading an article. Wasted border space around the articles has been added. The installer also removed the launch icon. My advice is to round up every person who was involved in this app from the design and layout stage, through development and all the way to quality assurance and fire the lot of them. This is one of the worst apps I've ever used. Uninstalling.

If it ain't broke don't fix it! Everyone wants to update for no reason. I liked the old version! Time to find another local news app.

Too many duplicate articles. After reading an article, it takes me back to the top of the list, instead of where I scrolled down to....annoying .
