This is the worst news app that I have downloaded on my phone. I have several. WRAL , WTVD, WXII, WGHP. It takes forever to load when you click on a story , freezes up and just closes on its own.

Keeps shutting down. Started doing this after last update. WXII is a way better app. They just lean a little to far left for my liking

This used to be good and enjoyed it. That being said , the pop-ups and advertisements are starting to make it unbearable. Stop it or I will uninstall. That probably doesn't matter just my 2 cents. Just give us the news without the BS. Thanks

January 5 , 2017 . It now opens with title stories and when you click on them they want you to open the story in Internet Explorer to read instead of their own pages. This is not worthwhile and there are better news outlets out there. I'm removing this if it stays this way by the end of the week.

What's with this "Open in browser" crap? The app was finally moving at a good speed, without freezing after I read a story, and now this! It's slower than ever! Ridiculous!

I70%

New 12/21 update didn't fix Old update that caused original problem where the app doesn't stay open when reading.

After all this time you have come up with something that will run and not lock up. Just downloaded it, and so far,so good. Ya get 3 stars after the 2nd time I have run it since the update. Thanks. Have always like this news chanel

Gave it a try but not only did it constantly as me to see it in my browser but screen kept closing. Needs professional app maker. True apps do not use browers. That is their purpose.

N70%
by N####:

Keep getting "open in browser view". I thought that was the point of an app was to avoid opening the browser

M70%
by M####:

This app crashes frequently and when it is working, its often slow. Now you have to "open in browser" to read a story.

I like the variety of stories but it can take some a while to open & at least once a day it just shuts down. Lately, I've also noticed that it will redirect to some crazy website in the browser sometimes though I haven't clicked a link. Update May '16: most bugs fixed but still shuts down. The feed doesn't seem to get updated as often & some stories are repeated.
