## WKBN 27 First News Reviews in United States

### *---- "Bad app"
Wat is wrong with your app you download it and you can’t open you get a screen that you cannot get rid of it. I uninstalled numerous times too no avail. It worked fine before now so fix it
-- Chock fut, 2024-02-28

### *---- "app issue"
I just updated the app and now it won’t go beyond the Get weather ready page. The page the app opens to. How do i advance past the “Be weather ready” page. I’ve deleted the app and started over numerous times.
-- Hawkwind63, 2024-02-27

### *---- "App problems"
Your last update screwed up the font size it’s all mess up
-- Audi-dog, 2024-02-24

### *---- "You broke the App"
When the app opens, the first screen lets me choose news and/or sports. The next screen asks my location for weather. I don’t see any way to go beyond that.
-- Tazmgr, 2024-02-24

### ****- "Very nice app upgrade but one thing is missing"
Love how it’s a lot smoother and I can watch the videos while I’m scrolling however I miss the widget that showed me news on my Home Screen. Please bring that back!
-- itsmetoeknee36, 2024-02-14

### ***** "New IOS update killed it"
Overall good app, but Whois the font so small on some of the stories? Make the font adjustable or at lest bigger.
-- 271hp, 2023-01-22

### *---- "Clunky"
This app continues to disappoint. Freezes, is clunky when moving from one heading to the next. Currently it won’t let me view at all, saying there is an update needed. When attempting to update, nothing happens besides watching the circle spin. Come on guys. You’re a media company. Get it together.
-- chuckit470, 2022-12-31

### *---- "Doesn’t work"
App won’t load .  Deleted and redownloaded,same result.   Needs fixed.
-- gtyuche6464, 2022-12-04

### ***-- "From 5 to 3 stars because of the video ads"
Having a video ad play with every single article I try to read is beyond annoying. I liked the app because I could pick and choose what to read when I could get to it—usually in bed—but now the videos playing either wake my husband or annoy the people around me throughout the rest of the day. My phone is always on silent mode, but that makes no difference, and this happens with each story I read. I understand needing ads, but one longer one upon opening the app would be less irritating than something playing with everything you open.

Update 3/28/22
It’s no longer video ads but being there redirected to safari to an ad site when reading from the app with almost every article I read. Come on. Even commercial breaks on TV don’t come after each story.
-- bugzy79, 2022-03-28

### ***-- "News Alerts"
No sense to send news alerts cause when you click on the alert it doesn’t take you to the article it just takes you to the site. You have to search the site for the article and HOPE it’s on there. Every time you do an update to this app you just make it worse instead of better
