Too many ads. The ads are distracting. The ads are for items I do not want and would never buy. News Broadcasting in Rochester is not good. This is acceptable at best. The app itself is actually a bigger inconvenience to use than the website so why bother? Uninstalling again.

I can't get this app to work on my samsung tablet. It works after I clear storage, but after that, on launch it just hangs on the logo screen.

Doesn't load. Says no internet after a few seconds. I'm sitting in front of a smart TV - how no internet.

MUCH better than D&C app. Easy to navigate, not too many ads, no 'subscriber only' surprises. Nice to have option to read and/or watch news stories.

I enjoy the app but it doesn't actually play the live news like advertised. you have to hit each individual video rather then it just play the whole news in one video but otherwise I like the app and the people who deliver us the local news.
