WSMV 4

This used to be my go-to spot for news. Now there are too many pop up ads. An ad at opening the app, pop up ads just scrolling between news stories, then pop up ads before watching a news story. To watch a 18 second clip takes over two minutes. That’s ridiculous.

You’re in a meet, you see a notification for an article that seems interesting, so you open it. SURPRISE!! It’s not an article—it’s a video, and you had not option not to play it.

Don’t wanna see adds

I think I have had enough. I’m deleting the 4 news app and trying another news app. The articles seem to be written by a fifth grader. I have complained in the past and they seem to have gotten a little better but not much. Does the editor read the articles before they are posted? They must not. It’s very frustrating. And maybe I’m just use to old school journalism. I don’t know, but I’m done.

The app has a long delay before you can watch the live broadcast. It has to load commercials. Not impressed. I can always watch the commercials but the app will not go to live broadcasts. Wow what a glitchy app. Not impressed

Weather app. Much to complicated to reach a simple 5 day forecast.

I cannot imagine an accredited news source that knowingly allows advertisements and misleading articles at the end of EVERY news story. It is shameful and the state DOC and FCC should be put on notice.

I had to stop using the app. Just way too many ads. Really “in your face”. I see a lot of reviews praising the news reporting and I agree WSMV news is the best in area, BUT the reviews here should be about the app! The station is always pushing the app on air obviously because it generates huge revenue with so many ads. The news is good, the app os not.

As I’m hiding in my basement while a tornado heads my way, I’m opening the app, trying to find a real time weather map. Well, this stupid app makes you watch a 15 second Bart Durham commercial before finding out if you’re about to fly away in a tornado. Seriously?!? Turn off the ads in dangerous times!!

Tonight was a tornado outbreak, my area was in the red for a active tornado, tried to sign on and look at the live feed, but had to endure a 30 commercial 1st, by the time I got to the actual active feed, the tornado was on top of me.
